Faced with being down-sized and looking for a new position in this economy, I was not very encouraged. I initially met with several “headhunters” who simply didn’t understand the type of work I did and what my skill set was to be able to place me in a good fit. I went on many interviews that were a waste of everyone’s time and just served to make the process even more painful. Then, I spoke with Christine Reilly of CLS and things turned around very quickly. Within a matter of weeks I not only had an interview with my current firm, but a temporary position that turned permanent within the first week! Christine was fabulous in getting to know me, what I was looking for and what specific skills I could bring to a position that set me apart from other candidates. She kept in touch with me during my first days in the temporary assignment and when another offer came in from a position I had been interviewing on, she was quick to make sure my current employer was made aware and able to counter-offer. After months with nothing, I was in the wonderful position of choosing between two offers and had the benefit of having Christine there to not only negotiate things for me, but to help me make a difficult choice by objectively weighing the pros and cons of each. I would enthusiastically recommend Christine to anyone searching not only for a job, but for the right job. She takes the extra steps necessary to make the right fit and I am so grateful to her for finding me this wonderful position where I truly feel at home.

“A friend introduced me to Christine Reilly who suggested I may be interested in a senior trial position at a mid-sized firm. I was hesitant about using a professional recruiter, but she was great throughout the process. She spent a considerable amount of time preparing me for my interview and acting as an effective liaison throughout the interview process. Her services eliminated the necessity of me scheduling interviews and negotiating a compensation package. Working with Christine enabled me to find a firm with partners I can trust and enjoy working with, while building my practice. Christine has great people skills and exemplifies the qualities anyone would seek in a professional recruiter. I would highly recommend her.”
