[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, do you work in a recruiting firm, or in a corporation?

For an attorney with 20 years of experience, should they focus on using a recruiter to help them land a position? It seems like applying via LinkedIn/websites and ATS is skewed against more seasoned candidates. [/quote]

I’m internal. For our in house counsel we do both direct postings (on our website which migrate over to job boards like LinkedIn Indeed etc) and occasionally we will leverage headhunters. If I were you I would do both. Find the 3 headhunters known for your specialty and simply make contact. They’ll ask you for an updated resume and will ask about your goals next steps salary expectations etc. Just remember that they won’t land you a job, but they will shop you around if they have been tapped by companies to do a specific search. Like, they will tell you’re a great match for the position they have, and they are telling it to 4 other people. They are being paid 30% of your salary to fill the pipeline with candidates and resumes. Headhunters play a critical role in the job seeking universe especially for senior roles. Just be eyes wide open about them. And then keep an eye out for roles posted direct by companies too. Good luck![/quote]
