TESTIMONIALS FOR ANDREW GURMAN

“Having worked at a large law firm before my clerkship, I was looking for post-clerkship employment at a small firm that would offer more hands-on experience and partner and client contact. I initially sent my resume to several firms that I knew about through my own experience and research, but I was not having success. As the end of my clerkship was approaching, I stumbled across Andrew Gurman’s profile and saw that he had worked at my former firm and had also completed a federal clerkship, so I thought that he might be able to relate to my situation. I could not be happier that I decided to contact Andrew. Andrew listened to the type of firm that I was looking for and my timing needs, and within days of our first conversation he secured interviews for me at two firms that I had not known about before but which met all of my criteria. Having Andrew on my side was also invaluable during the interview process. Andrew had insider knowledge about the firms and the attorneys on my interview schedules. Before my first interview, Andrew met with me in person to give me mock interview questions, and he offered me feedback on my responses. The preparation with Andrew allowed me to go into the interviews feeling well-prepared and confident. Because of Andrew, I secured a job before the end of my clerkship in a difficult legal job market, which removed a significant burden from my shoulders. I will also benefit from Andrew’s assistance – such as his help in substantially improving my resume and his interview tips – throughout the remainder of my career. I will strongly recommend Andrew to other attorneys in the future."

"Andrew is very professional, a pleasure to work with, and most importantly, gets the results. As a senior associate in a very difficult market, I was somewhat pessimistic about my chances, but within a week of working with Andrew, I got three interviews. One of them resulted in a great offer - not just a job, but an exciting next step in my career. Andrew did not just submit my resume to potential employers but thought carefully about how to market me. He brought options to my attention that I had never even considered, and that no other recruiters I worked with had thought about. He was there from the beginning to the end, from helping me edit my resume, to thoroughly preparing me for the interviews, to spending considerable time on the phone with me helping to think through my options and to finally make the decision. I absolutely recommend Andrew (and have actually already referred him to others)."

"Andrew is the best in the business. Hands down. I (reluctantly) worked with two recruiters before meeting Andrew. The difference was night and day. Andrew has a calm, professional focus that actually made the job search exciting and enjoyable. Not only does Andrew have a vast knowledge of the legal market, he has incredible intuition and gives valuable interview-specific advice. Every interview that Andrew arranged was a success: I knew what to expect and what to talk about (details about the firm and the individual lawyers on my schedule). Andrew is not your typical recruiter. I strongly recommend him as a career coach and trusted advisor to any attorney looking to make a successful move."

"I highly recommend Andrew Gurman. Andrew took a genuine interest in learning about my career ambitions, unlike most of his competitors. It quickly became apparent that he exercises the same level of interest in the law firms for which he makes placements. It only took Andrew a week to find me an opportunity with a Firm that aligned perfectly with my professional goals despite one of the worst economic recessions ever. I nailed the interview thanks to Andrew's preparation — he knew the personalities of all the attorneys with whom I interviewed and predicted (accurately) many of the questions that each attorney would ask. Interestingly, Andrew's superior 'match making' skills almost worked to his detriment in my case — I was so shocked at how quickly I had an offer in hand that I initially declined the opportunity solely because I felt things were happening too quickly! A day after I declined the opportunity I called Andrew back and informed him that I made the wrong decision. The next day Andrew resuscitated the offer against all odds.”

"Andrew was incredibly helpful throughout my search process — from listening and truly understanding the type of firm and role that I was looking for, to really providing detailed and accurate insights into what really distinguished the firms I was looking at, to generously offering extensive interview coaching, and to promptly following up on all of my questions and concerns that arose throughout the process. I really trusted and relied on Andrew as my partner in this important process, and I have been recommending Andrew for some time now."

"Andrew Gurman assisted me in laterally transferring from a boutique law firm to a mid-sized firm with the practice area I was looking for. Andrew assisted me in each phase of my job search. He helped me prepare for each round of interviews, reviewed my writing samples, and advised me about accepting the offer and providing notice to my former employer. His assistance was crucial to make my job search a success, despite the difficult job market."

"Working with Andrew is an absolute pleasure. He is reliable, well-connected, and intelligent, and because of his abilities I was able to land multiple interviews even in a challenging legal market. I would recommend him to any legal professional looking for the best in the business."

"What I value most about Andrew is his dedication to his clients. He's always easy to reach and responsive and genuinely cares about finding his clients opportunities that will make them happy. On top of that, Andrew has a very strong understanding of how the legal market works and how to best present and prepare his clients. Anyone looking to switch jobs could not ask for a better guide."
