How to get started?
Whether you are interested in a particular job that we have advertised, or are generally exploring opportunities in the market, the first step in getting started is to email your information to us. Specifically, an up-to-date resume, a short cover letter, and in certain cases, your transaction summary and academic transcripts. All of this information will remain strictly confidential, and we will not forward your particulars without your express consent. Of course, if you are more comfortable with an initial phone call, please contact us and we would be pleased to speak with you about our process, available opportunities and the marketplace.
After having an opportunity to review your information, we will be in contact with you to inform you if we have an appropriate opportunity or can assist you in your search. If we feel that we are able to assist you, we will arrange a meeting where we will discuss your experience and goals in detail, potential opportunities, and develop a strategic plan. In certain cases, we may not have a current opportunity that fits your background, but feel that your experience would be of interest to one of our clients. In such situations, with your authorization, we will take a proactive approach and contact our clients to explore their interest in your candidacy.
We remain with you throughout your job search – providing advice; acting as your intermediary with potential employers; conveying client feedback; and assisting with negotiations at offer stage. Our goal is to facilitate and simplify the process for you. We are committed to representing you with the highest level of confidentiality, professionalism, and integrity. |
"During my search for an in-house counsel position, I found The Heller Group to be the best suited for my type of search. They were exceptional to deal with; they were very knowledgeable, professional and extremely helpful in developing a "plan of attack" for my search. I found them to be of particular assistance in the final stages of negotiation with my eventual employer. Ultimately, The Heller Group was able to provide me with a position that best suited my needs."

“Making a change is difficult, especially for a partner with more than a decade at one firm. The Heller Group went out of its way to ease my transition. They took the time necessary to understand me and my practice. They provided me with excellent legal market information, a comprehensive analysis of my practice, and then presented me to firms that best fit my career objectives and the needs of my clients. During the negotiation, they provided me with sound advice on compensation expectations. In the end, after providing me with attractive opportunities, I happily chose Macleod Dixon LLP. If you are thinking of making a move, I highly recommend the professionals at The Heller Group.”

"When I first spoke with The Heller Group about the possibility of applying to law firms, I was frankly quite hesitant about using a recruitment firm. My thought was, if I'm going to apply to law firms, I could just apply directly myself and had no need to go through a 'middle person'. I quickly realized this assumption was incorrect and that Carrie added tremendous value to the process - from handling preliminary introductions to final negotiations. However, the greatest benefit I derived from engaging Carrie was that through her very position as the "middle person" and intermediary she was privy to much more frank and forthright discussions and information than I would have had access to if I had conducted this search on my own. Such information is invaluable for making fully informed decisions and crucial when making a career move. In addition to all of this, she was highly professional and a pleasure to deal with throughout the process."
