Legal Counsel, OpenText


"The Partners Group did an excellent job in recruiting me for and facilitating my hiring as an in-house corporate counsel. They very politely reached out to me and accommodated speaking to me based on my willingness and availability. I wasn’t keenly interested in the roles they had available at the time, but I did express to them what I would be interested in. They told me they wouldn't reach back out to me until they came across something that they thought would fit what I wanted. Unlike many recruiters, they held themselves to that, and many months later reached out to me with a position that I thought was perfectly tailored to my interests. They did an excellent job of facilitating the interview and hiring process on both sides, and I couldn't be more thrilled with their guidance and consultation through the process. I'm now in a role that makes my daily work life a happier experience, and I have The Partners Group to thank for that."

"When The Partners Group first contacted me about an in-house opportunity, I was not looking to leave my (then) current employer and was not exploring the market. But they offered up a position that was intriguing and perfectly suited to my skill-set, with a management team that was a good cultural fit for my personality and temperament. They adroitly navigated me through the process, offering sound, pithy advice at each stage of the process and serving as a sort of consigliore to me as I faced a career-defining decision to walk away from seven years of working at law firms in D.C. and Atlanta and join the in-house ranks. It goes without saying that they sealed the deal. And I offer up my endorsement of The Partners Group without reservation or hesitation."

Oh, and they made sure to check in with me during my first week at the new role. Talk about following through! The Partners Group certainly earns my highest recommendation."

Director of Legal, Marketo


"The Partners Group is great to work with. They helped me with two career moves. First, they helped me move from New York City to Atlanta. I had an associate position at a national firm in NYC, but they did not have an Atlanta office. I was looking for a similar position in Atlanta. I spoke to a number of recruiters, some based in NYC and others operating out of the Southeast, but it was very clear that The Partners Group had the most knowledge and best connections in Atlanta. Through them, I got an associate position at a top Atlanta firm. A few years later, I began looking for a long term position at a smaller firm. Of course I called The Partners Group and they helped me get what I was looking for, an associate position at a regional firm. Overall, I've had great experiences with The Partners Group and I highly recommend them."

Senior Associate at Morris, Manning & Martin, LLP


"Working with The Partners Group was a positive experience from the initial conversation to placement in a dream position. Not only was The Partners Group able to deftly align my experience and unique skill set with a top firm in my desired market, but they also found the right personal fit for both me and the firm. Unlike many legal recruiting firms who make generic cold calls to candidates, they took the time to understand the hiring firm's needs and confirm that my experience, knowledge and skills met those needs. They then facilitated a fast-paced interview, placement and relocation process. I hold The Partners Group in the highest esteem and strongly recommend their services.”

Associate, Dentons


"The Partners Group is fantastic! I first worked with The Partners Group when I was looking to make a move from a large firm in Chicago to a small firm in Atlanta, and they could not have made the process any easier. Several years later, I jumped at the chance to work with them again. Their recruiters are knowledgeable, responsive, and are always honest and objective. They responded to my questions and concerns. I would recommend The Partners Group to anyone looking to make a change!”

Associate, Eversheds Sutherland


"I wanted to give The Partners Group a huge THANK YOU. Your group is professional, but more importantly they have been a wonderful resource in terms of legal employment advice and the industry generally. The market is complicated and having The Partners Group on your side makes the process seem doable. Thanks for the hard work, couldn't have done it without you!!!!”

Associate, AmLaw 200 Firm


"After moving to Atlanta from the West Coast, The Partners Group immediately took me in and helped integrate me into the Atlanta legal market. They listened to my goals and utilized their strong network to find the perfect place for me. Rather than send my resume to firms all over the city where I might fit in, they successfully and strategically sent my information to firms where I would fit in and where I could make meaningful contributions. Everyone I worked with or encountered at The Partners Group was professional and friendly. I would work with The Partners Group again in a heartbeat, but because it did such an excellent job of matching me with my new firm, I won't need to.” 

Associate, Litigation Boutique


"The Partners Group was the best choice to handle my search. I was in the unique position of transitioning not only from an in-house role back to a law firm but also, from Asia to the United States.

They consistently kept me up-to-date throughout the process and offered great insights, which allowed me to put my best foot forward during the interview. After I had an offer, they provided advice that assisted me in making a smooth transition from my firm to my new position. From the outset, I found The Partners Group to be courteous and responsive, and I was very impressed with their commitment to ensuring that the position was a fit for me, not just that that my skills and experience fit the position. I can wholeheartedly recommend Brad and The Partners Group."

I would highly recommend them to anyone.”
