Diversity Without Exclusion
More than just words…
Chicago Legal Search, a NGLCC-certified and LGBT Chamber of Commerce of Illinois member, and its division, CLS Legal Staffing, recognize that cultural diversity, inclusive at all levels, provides a stronger platform for continued success. This reflects your organization’s value by fostering creative thinking among people who have a multiplicity of backgrounds and experiences.
We are fortunate to have created a strong network of professional relationships based on this platform and belief.

To that end, we hold ourselves to the highest level of professionalism and integrity.
The number one reason employers use recruitment agencies?
Save time.
We work to streamline the hiring process and fill vacancies more efficiently.
Specificity.
Oftentimes, your hiring needs may be finite or within a niche practice area. We work to identify and shortlist only those correctly qualified for the position.
We also:
- Identify qualified candidates that also make a cultural fit, which reduces the risk associated with turnover costs.
- Obtain access to passive candidates who will likely not otherwise be aware of your job opportunity.
- Provide valuable market knowledge and industry-related developments, including hiring trends and direct competition.
- Provide vital sector updates relating to employment legislation, including the relevant requirements and up-to-date legalities within the industry.
