Testimonials
Thanks for all your help! Pretty amazing how this worked out in a tough hiring climate. Appreciate all your hard work and guidance and will continue to recommend you if others ask me for recruiting recs (one friend asked for another friend recently, and I gave them your info)!
Thanks for all your help!!! This has been completely painless and I’m a little shocked at how quickly it came together, which is definitely a credit to you.”

Christina was very invested in my search and got to know me in a personal, individual way … She was very helpful because she got to know me as a person and as a candidate. She was then able to give me advice and some perspective on how to consider all of the options that I ultimately had.”

Thank you for the bottle of champagne! I appreciate the gesture, though I appreciate you getting me a job even more. This is my third week at Cooley and things are going swimmingly. I was staffed on 3 deals from the get-go, so I've hit the ground running. If you are ever in [town], let me know and we can grab coffee. Thanks again.”

Hi Christina, Hope things are well - I started at the company this week! Thank you again so much for all your help and support throughout the process. I got your amazing gift! Thank you so much, I love it and will save it for a special occasion.”
Christina was creative in identifying some opportunities that I wouldn't have ordinarily thought of, including [the firm] where I am going, so I think that was for me the most unique and impressive part of it. She didn't just go to the easily identifiable firms that do what I do, but she looked at other firms. For me, having a go between that has experience like Christina, being someone who knew my background and had a similar background that had transitioned, it helped a lot to have her input in my resume, my business plan, and the discussions I was having with some of the partners at firms I was meeting with. I haven't worked with a lot of recruiters, but individually, Christina was very knowledgeable and for me the most important part was creative. She was looking for the opportunities that weren't usually clear that they had business similar to what I did, but wanted to get into … white collar and that, from my perspective, puts her among the best.”

Christina, this is amazing news! You are my hero! Again, thank you so much. You deserve your own federal holiday and a street named after you because you are awesome.”

I recently worked with Christina Brown and obtained a Partnership position ... I would not have obtained my current position without Christina's efforts. Christina was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process. She was professional, friendly, and always available to talk. I could not have asked for a better representative or advocate. She presented me to numerous firms, developed an introduction letter on my behalf that was outstanding, provided invaluable advice regarding each firm, and promptly followed up with the firms after my interviews to keep the process moving. She made it seem like I was her most important client.
Toward the end of the process … the firm raised concerns about the fact I was not currently licensed in state … and whether that would prevent me from being able to immediately practice. It seemed like this issue would derail the entire opportunity. Within two hours of the issue arising, Christina identified a newly enacted (state Supreme Court) rule … directly applicable to my situation and satisfied the firm's concerns so that the offer could be finalized. I simply cannot say enough about Christina and her ability.”

Conflicts are cleared. We are all done. Thank you so much for all your help. I know it hasn’t been easy sometimes, and I really do appreciate everything you have done for me in this process.”
This was my first time working with a recruiter and Christina was more than could have hoped for. She was amazing. She took the time to get to know me and what my goals were and what me and my family wanted for my legal career and she tailored her search for firms to meet those needs. She was interested and engaging and very, very responsive to inquiries I had or emails I sent. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. There was one other recruiter that I reached out, but they actually told me that they couldn't work with me because I hadn't received my California bar results and to come back in 3 months. I was a bit dejected by that call, and then Christina said let's get going and I ended up getting a job before bar results even came out.”
Christina was very on top of everything. She was also very helpful and knowledgeable with interviews and knowing the process, so she helped me a lot with that ... and was very responsive and took a lot of the time off my hands. Communicating with the firms, and also handling some of the awkward conversation situations, being that middle person really helped make my job search easier.”
I really liked that Christina text messaged me and she was really good at checking in and following up on the interviews. It made it 100 percent easier; I found a job in no time. I did not have to write thank you letters, I didn’t have to be hunting around.”
Christina’s demeanor was very good and very encouraging. She was able to resolve a lot of my questions about the process so I felt pretty comfortable throughout. It was very clear that she was very experienced and she answered my questions about things that are new to me. … I think the interview prep in particular was helpful … Christina kind of let me dictate my own process.”
Hi Christina. As we discussed this week, please find a copy of the signed offer letter for Perkins attached to this email. Thank you again for everything; I could not have done this without you.”
I liked that Christina was always very available. She would text me or email me, was always easy to get a hold of, and made herself available even on the weekends. It was easier to have someone else take care of it, and I knew she would always check in. She was willing to do as much or as little as I wanted her to, so that was really good.”
Relocation from San Francisco.
Hi Christina, thank you for all your help. I will keep you in mind as my career continues to evolve and will keep you in mind for any referrals, as my experience with you was very enjoyable. Everything is great so far …. Again, thanks for everything.”
Relocation from New York.
Christina was wonderful to work with - - she was insightful and responsive. Other recruiters I have worked with in the past pushed me to interview at firms that were not a right fit at the time; Christina did no such thing. I previously recommended Christina to another colleague that she successfully placed in AmLaw 5, and I am happy to recommend Christina again.”
Relocation from Washington D.C.
Christina was incredibly helpful and crucial in my search to go back to biglaw. She really took the time to get to know me and my needs and provided expert advice and knowledge at every stage of the process. Instead of just trying to get me into any law firm, Christina was very concerned with getting me into the place that was the right fit for me. She was also always available to talk, was extremely proactive in our search, and always went the extra mile. I've used a number of different recruiters before for various different firms, and I felt most confident with Christina that she was looking out for what was best for me and my interests.”
