I was recruited, but the process took more than 6 months. HR was great and very helpful. I was shocked at how little the interview panel asked about my experience. Although I got the offer, in hindsight I see that they aren't very careful in their hiring process. They hire out of desperation and then get rid of people quickly when they don't like them personally (nothing to do with work product or motivation).

After being contacted by a recruiter for a position, meeting with the Director of Operations and both Managing Partners, I was asked to provide a business summary of my last 7 years because one of the partners had been "burned" by the last 2 persons the firm had hired. I spent time preparing the summary and providing supplemental letters of reference by all prior colleagues with whom I had worked. The Partner who requested it never acknowledged receiving it nor did she have the common professional courtesy to let me know she was rescheduling our next meeting. Maybe that is why the last 2 people quit?? Professional courtesy should flow from the top down and at this firm, apparently, they are too busy to extend it to their own attorneys. Then I heard from the recruiter that they wanted me to provide more information because the information I had provided that they never acknowledged wasn't enough. No mention of their lack of respect or courtesy for the work I had already provided.
