Many attorneys think that all legal headhunters or search consultants are more or less the same. Those who think that are truly misinformed. Some headhunters spend little time working on their candidate's behalf. Certain headhunters have better contacts than others. Some have more resources at their disposal. Still others are simply more skilled than their competitors.
It's important for the attorney candidate to remember that in the legal field as in many other fields, it's the hiring firm that pays the headhunter's fee. Thus, until a headhunter places a candidate, they are essentially working on the candidate's behalf without financial compensation. If they do not place the candidate, whatever time or money they spent is lost.
Getting the most out of your headhunter is, to a certain extent, the candidate's responsibility.
