Testimonials

Simone was quick with a recommendation and was extremely helpful in my employment search from beginning to "hired"! She is professional and pleasant to work with, a recruiter who responds and takes action is rare. Simone is amongst this group.

Janet Sussman, Legal Secretary WOODRUFF JOHNSON & EVANS LAW OFFICES

Simone is definitely one to know! She is very professional and business-oriented and does everything with a smile! Her demeanor is very calm and engaging and she does her best to fit you in the right position.

LaTanya Williamson, Legal Secretary QUARLES & BRADY LLP

Simone goes above and beyond in her role. She ensures her recruits are placed with a company where their expertise is utilized, but where there is still room for growth. Simone was very available when I had questions, attentive when I had concerns, and proactively responsive when I was anxious. I highly recommend Simone as a legal recruiter and would work with her again, if needed. Simone is a pleasure to have worked with and I wish her much success in the future!

Alicia Figueroa, Paralegal/Contract Administration AIT WORLDWIDE LOGISTICS, INC.

I have sought professional guidance and have worked with Simone since she first contacted me in 2010. While the timing was off for the many opportunities she called me about over the years, I reached out to her in July of 2014 and in August, I received the offer that I had been looking for. Over the years, I have recommended her to friends who were looking for a new opportunity because her professionalism and dedication far surpass any other recruiter that I have worked with. I cannot stress enough how highly I respect her.

Maggie Callahan Nighswander, Practice Area Assistant THOMPSON COBURN LLP

Simone has always been a great and straightforward legal staffing advocate that I turn to for paralegal positions. She is trustworthy, handles confidential information very well, and has a good handle on assessing candidate skills and qualifications that match great job opportunities.

Marcus Bell, Litigation Paralegal SCHOPF & WEISS LLP

Simone assisted me in getting hired in my current position. Simone is a results-oriented professional who is a pleasure to work with. Simone always made herself available, answered my numerous questions and responded timely. I would absolutely solicit her services again if necessary.

Regina Wooten, Corporate Paralegal BAKER & MCKENZIE

I am writing this Letter of Recommendations for Simone Green. I have known Simone for 8 years. During this period she has demonstrated that she is a very honest and reliable person. Simone has been instrumental in my employment placement and instrumental in choices on my career path. She is a confidant and more importantly she is a friend. I believe that she would be a valuable asset to anyone who may want to explore opportunities as a legal professional. I would highly recommend Simone and her company for professional opportunities.

Michael Hall, Paralegal WHEELER FINANCIAL, INC.

I had been working in the legal industry for about 5 years in an entry level position and was looking to advance my career to the next level when Simone contacted me. She had a client with a managerial position that not only matched my experience but it was exactly what I was searching for. Throughout the entire interview and offering process Simone was communicative, gave feedback and honest with me regarding her clients' needs. What makes Simone different from most recruiters is that she genuinely wants to make a good match for the law firm and the candidate which is refreshing.

Jennifer Mielnicki, Conference Center Manager SIDLEY AUSTIN LLP

Chicago Legal Search cares about its candidates. My representative (Simone Green) always made sure that my needs were met above all, unlike other staffing agencies. They showed a true interest in making sure that the process is comfortable and beneficial for all parties involved.

Luis Torres, Paralegal FOLEY & LARDNER

I really enjoyed my experience with CLS Legal Staffing. They were very professional and only presented me with opportunities that met my minimum requirements. I highly recommend their services for anyone seeking a legal position.

Michelle Carter, Legal Secretary/Receptionist DOWD BLOCH & BENNETT

Graduating in May 2001, my outlook on finding employment in the legal field was bleak due to the economy. Fortunately I was referred to CLS and guided by Simone Green. From our initial introduction, Simone was welcoming and forthright. Her sincere candidness was refreshing. As searching for a means of employment, one often encounters evasive tactics. Simone was readily available to answer any questions which I had. She was able to critically evaluate my personal and professional goals and point me in the right direction. My current position is due in part to Simone Green’s honesty, experience, and vast knowledge of the Chicago legal market.

Sachin Warty LORD, BISSELL & BROOK

I am very impressed with the speed in which Simone Green was able to place me in my current position. I had just started my job search and heard about Simone from a former co-worker. After speaking with Simone regarding my career objectives and job requirements, she was able to place me with the perfect firm. I had a new job within one month of starting my search.

Kristin Brozovic, Paralegal LATHAM & WATKINS

I had a two-fold challenge when I first spoke with Simone Green: 1) I was moving back to Chicago, and 2) we were in a recession. Simone listened to my concerns and gave me straight answers. She understood the type of firm I was looking to join and the career I wanted to build. Using her connections, Simone matched me with a firm and a job that exceeded my expectations.

Stuart Rathje, Paralegal FUNKHOUSER, VEGOSEN, LIEBMAN & DUNN

Simone was very patient and courteous with me during my search for new employment. I’m sure I gave her the ‘run around’ trying to find my ‘niche’, yet she was able to find me an opportunity that was the perfect fit. If I ever have employment needs in the future, I will definitely call Simone Green first.

Kimberly Cain, Administrative Assistant To Keith H. Berk, Esq. HORWOOD MARCUS & BERK CHARTERED

Nadia B. Garrett, Corporate Paralegal ABRAXIS BIOSCIENCE, INC.

After months of trying to land a position on my own, a friend referred me to Simone Green. I was apprehensive about working with an agency. However, after meeting Simone and discussing what I did and did not want in a new position, I wished that I had contacted her sooner. Simone was genuinely interested in helping me find not just a job, but the right job for me. I highly recommend Simone Green of CLS Legal Staffing.
