I was placed as Senior Counsel and reached out to Orit after seeing one of her LinkedIn posts about a job opportunity.  She had reached out to connect with me on LinkedIn some time ago and was in my network, which is how I saw her post.  I cannot speak highly enough of Orit. She is extremely professional and focused on getting to know candidates well.  She invests the time to do this to ensure that she makes great matches of candidates and employers.  Orit understands this is critical to her clients’ success and her own.  I very quickly had, and continue to have, full confidence in her and would highly recommend her to anyone in my network.  Orit was candid about the job market, offered great insight and perspective about available roles, and had a lot of detailed information about the company I was considering (which showed me she really knew her client).  She was very supportive and never pressured me in any way.  I was extremely impressed with how much she was in communication with me during the interview process, helping to facilitate next steps. Orit really is a star and I am grateful to have had her support as I made my career move.  I have not used other recruiters previously but would absolutely work with Orit again and would encourage others to do so.

We were looking to hire a litigation associate and engaged ZSA because Orit is the best at what she does! Prior to reaching out we had ran a couple of general public postings. She was excellent to work with – you don’t need me to tell you that Orit is the best in the business. We found her connections very helpful and valued her opinion. We have used other recruiters in the past and ZSA is above the rest; we will use their services again.

I am the Managing Partner at Diamond & Diamond and dealt with Orit Sinai for her assistance in recruiting junior lawyers across Canada. Dealing with Orit was excellent and she had very quick response time with ease of scheduling with potential candidates. Of particular value was the knowledge she had on the applicants work history. While I have used other recruiters in the past, ZSA produced effective response times and quality candidates and I will use them again in the future.

We reached out to ZSA initially as the roles we needed to fill were unique and senior in our organization. Orit and the team were great partners and were proactive, responsive and truly engaged.  They provided superior screening that matched our tangible and intangible criteria and provided helpful insight and counsel throughout the process which was very helpful to the hiring process. We have used other recruiters in the past. Orit and the ZSA team that supported us have now set the standard – incrementally better than other teams we have worked with in the past. I would use the services of ZSA again and, without question, it was the best recruitment partnership.

I had submitted several applications to larger firms. Coming from a boutique firm in Toronto, I was having difficulty getting the attention of larger firms, though I know I was able to do the work they wanted.  I thought having a recruiter assist might be able to get my resume in front of larger firms and have them consider me as a more serious candidate. My experience with Orit was excellent. Orit had contacted me about several positions for associates in the past year. She was engaging and friendly, and I always felt like she was on my side by really putting her all into getting me noticed. When I eventually interviewed for my current role, she answered all of my questions about the interview process and kept me informed about how I was doing. Overall, I think it really helped myself and the firm find the correct fit. Orit calmed some of my nerves post-interview about concerns that I had and helped me realize that my experience was fairly common for associates of my year level. It was helpful to know and helped me feel confident in proceeding with the next round of interviews. I had been approached by a few recruiters in the past, however I found that they often had positions I was not interested in (roles that were at firms smaller than I wanted) or they would become non-communicative if I did not want to interview for a position. ZSA (and Orit) would always reach out if she thought I was a good fit for a role, even if I had turned down other opportunities and ZSA knew my focus was on working at a mid-sized firm. It was great that I didn’t have to follow up with Orit every few months for positions – she was helpful in finding me roles before they were even posted and really helped to ease the process (in a pandemic no less) that is already quite stressful!  It definitely showed me the value of recruiting services over traditional job websites.

I was introduced to Orit by a colleague a year ago and I was interested in changing practice areas. My experience was excellent and I was placed as an Associate.  Orit was prompt in her responses to me and always made herself available whenever I wanted to chat.  She was transparent throughout the process and I felt she effectively communicated between me and her client.  What was particularly helpful in the process was transparency and coordinating meetings/phone calls between me and the client.

I engaged ZSA to find an in-house role.  I was placed as a legal counsel and had an excellent experience with Orit.  I’ve used other recruiters before but ZSA has better opportunities.

I was placed as a partner and dealt with Orit.  Orit had previously reached out and provided me with several other opportunities which were of interest.  While I wasn’t previously interested in switching firms, it was an easy choice to circle back once I revisited whether I wanted to seek out other employment.  Orit was exceptional to work with.  She took the time to listen and understand exactly what I was looking for and, unlike other recruiters who have reached out in the past, made sure to only suggest firms and opportunities that aligned with my interests.  Orit had excellent insight into the hiring process and compensation models at each of the firms, and was able to negotiate several favourable terms on my behalf.  I am truly grateful to have had Orit in my corner during this process.

I was placed as an associate and dealt with Warren and Orit. I engaged ZSA to help me look for a new opportunity after I left my previous firm, where I had been actually been placed by Warren. I have been working with Warren for over four years and he has been my absolute go-to person every time I’ve found myself looking for a new opportunity, so I did not make any efforts prior to contacting ZSA.  I reached out to Warren right away once I had made the decision to make a lateral move. My experience with Warren and Orit was excellent. Orit was always pleasant and professional.  She consistently replied to my emails promptly at all hours of the day and night – even if there were no updates, to keep me posted.  She had valuable knowledge of the marketplace and about the specific firms offering positions.  Warren, also, was very knowledgeable, professional, attentive, helpful and quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had throughout the recruitment process.  He made the process very smooth and less stressful and it is obvious that he’s very invested in his client’s and candidates.  He has also successfully placed me at two great firms.  In both cases, with his help, I was able to find a job within a matter of months with the first firm I interviewed with.  Warren was always available throughout the process to answer any questions and provide helpful tips going into the interview.  I honestly hope I never need ZSA’s services again for myself but, in the event I am looking for a new opportunity, my very first call will be to Warren at ZSA. Orit was professional, personable, organized, responsive and very encouraging, and I felt certain that she was fully engaged with the process.  Warren was there to guide me every step of the way through the hiring process.  His knowledge of the profession and his ability to provide insights and offer helpful tips going into my interview was extremely invaluable.  He was also very professional at communicating any concerns or questions that I had to my new employer, and negotiating the terms of my new contract to get me the best possible compensation package. Warren has shown a deep understanding of prospective firms’ needs as well as my knowledge and experience, which adds value to everyone involved in the hiring process.  He knows everyone, has great connections, and he actually has good relationships with all of the firms and has rightfully earned his reputation as a recruiter you can actually trust.  With all of his experience, knowledge and understanding of the market and the profession, Warren has always been able to offer helpful insights and give a me a candid and fair evaluation of my job prospects. I have used other recruiters in the past but ZSA is by far the best agency I have worked with and the only one that has successfully placed me in roles.

I had an excellent experience with Orit and was placed as Enforcement Counsel.  Orit is professional, personable and responsive.  I enjoyed communicating with her and found her guidance and encouragement throughout the hiring process to be very helpful.  Her knowledge of the market and client was also an asset.  I have used other recruiters in the past and ZSA is better than others.

I was placed as an Associate Lawyer and dealt with Orit who was referred to me personally by a friend.  I had only done some networking and a few really short applications beforehand.  My overall experience was excellent.  Orit was amazing – answering all my questions and guiding me in a process I knew very little about.  It was my first time resigning a full-time job and starting a new one, so I needed quite a bit of hand holding.  What I found particularly helpful was she analyzed the fit really well and the expectations.  Orit was probably one of the best I have come across.  I have very little experience, of course, but she is very experienced and competent, and very fun to chat with at the same time.

I was placed as an associate.  I was looking to move to a new private-practice firm in a more specialized role and with a higher compensation.   I took no steps before contacting ZSA.  My experience with Orit was excellent.  She responded to me quickly; she kept me in the loop at all times; and, she found a firm and position I believe I will be very happy with.  I found it helpful that Orit was upfront and direct, and either had answers to all of my questions or was able to get said answers quickly where she didn’t.  I would have no hesitation recommending Orit to colleagues looking to make a change.

I reached out to ZSA for job assistance and was placed as a senior lawyer. My experience was excellent. Orit was a superstar! She was responsive and supportive throughout the process and she made things happen. I have used other recruiters in the past but Orit was heads and shoulders above the rest.

I engaged ZSA, as I had worked previously with Orit, and was placed as Senior Legal Counsel and Corporate Secretary.  I had an excellent experience and Orit takes into account a candidate’s objectives and preferences before presenting opportunities.  No time was wasted on poor fits.  I particularly found it helpful that she provided insight into the legal team’s culture at the employer.  Although I have worked with other recruiters before –  ZSA does a good job of keeping tabs and staying in touch over time.

I was placed as Advisor, Legal Counsel and dealt with Orit.  I did not engage ZSA but my employer did.  The experience was excellent and I appreciated the frequent contact, poignant queries, and a desire to ensure I was the best fit for the employer and that the employer was the best fit for me.  I found Orit’s Inside knowledge of the hiring manager, the position, and the compensation from the outset very helpful.

I came to Orit Sinai as a commercial litigation partner at a national Bay Street firm who was looking to make a change. I love my firm (and have been here since I was a student), but I fell out of love with private practice and envisioned joining a top-tier in-house legal team as the next step in my career. From my first call with Orit, I could tell that she “got it”. She understood my objectives, the litigator skillset, my reasons for wanting a change, and the type of environment I was seeking. She was kind and encouraging, and gave me the confidence I needed to take the next step in my career journey. Orit is very well-connected and, as a result, has inroads to incredible opportunities. It just so happened that, on our first call, an opportunity had recently come across her desk with an organization that was perfect for me – a large Canadian company with a national presence, interesting work, competitive compensation, stellar reputation and a growing legal team. It was also close to home. Orit talked me through the details of the opportunity – everything from compensation, to hours, to the interview process. She also anchored those details within the wider market context so I could understand how the opportunity compared with others. Orit was also transparent about what she knew about the organization’s culture, reporting structure and the specific individuals that I would be reporting into. She carefully answered all of my questions (while respecting the confidentiality of the client); patiently coached me through the interview process; and, expertly facilitated the negotiation of an employment offer that I was ultimately very happy with. Throughout this entire process, Orit was responsive, honest, professional, informative, and never once pressured me to make a decision I was not ready to make. This was exactly the type of career opportunity that I was hoping for, but did not imagine I would get. Finding a suitable in-house role for litigators is rare. Finding an in-house opportunity for a litigator that checks off all of the boxes, and realizing it in a short time period, is near impossible. (Well…unless you have someone like Orit.)

I was placed as a CCO and saw a posting that was of interest to me and therefore reached out to Orit. My experience with her was excellent. She was very supportive throughout the process and acted like a strong business partner. I did not make a lot of moves between companies in my career and having the support from Orit was crucial to me. Being clear on what the role was; giving extra background about the team; answering questions about the interview process; and, keeping me up to date, was very helpful and valuable to me. I have been approached by other recruiters in the past, but it was never the right fit. I recently had the privilege of working with ZSA Recruitment, and the experience was nothing short of excellent. Orit, in particular, was instrumental in guiding me through every step of the way. Her insights and support proved invaluable. I wholeheartedly recommend ZSA to anyone looking to advance their career and to engage actively with their recruiters, ask questions, and utilize them as the valuable resource they truly are. Owing to their commitment, I’ve been offered a job that aligns perfectly with my aspirations.

I worked with Orit in the past and therefore, when I was looking for a change again, she was one of the first persons I contacted. I was placed as a Litigation Counsel and my experience with her as my consultant was excellent. Orit presented me with multiple opportunities based on my preferences and experiences and, in addition to providing me with the job description, she also gave me valuable insights about the group that I would work with and the company culture. She was prompt in responding to my queries and guided me through the recruitment process. Orit represented my interests during the negotiation process and in the end, I was very happy with the offer. I have used other recruiters in the past; however, the big difference was that Orit continued to present opportunities even after I had turned down certain ones down. I have found that recruiters often ghost me if I turn down any roles.

I was placed in a Senior Counsel role and dealt with Orit. I was using two other recruiters concurrently and this was my first time using ZSA which was referred to me through a  contact of mine. Not only did I have an excellent experience with Orit but she also brought me excellent opportunities at good, mid-sized litigation firms.

I was placed as an associate lawyer and dealt with Orit. I had previously contacted some recruiters and looked at job postings before contacting ZSA. Orit was excellent and helped me understand what the employers were looking for and gave me good insight on the existing culture of the employer/firm etc.

I responded to a ZSA job posting and dealt with Orit resulting in being placed as an Associate Lawyer. Orit was kind, helpful, and cheerful throughout my dealings with her which resulted in an excellent experience. It was most helpful that based on my experience, personality, and personal history, Orit knew that I would likely be a good fit and match for her client.

I was placed as a Partner at a Bay Street firm by Orit Sinai. My experience with Orit was excellent!  She was responsive and very encouraging, and I felt certain that she was fully engaged with the process. Orit had also previously worked at the firm and her knowledge was incredible helpful that they were indeed an entrepreneurial and friendly firm. I would definitely use her services again.
