I was placed as an associate and had an excellent experience.  Travis was fantastic.   Not only was he very responsive, but he also provided great insight throughout the entire process.

I engaged ZSA as I had worked with Travis before when he placed me on a contract position which worked out really well.  I was looking for about 12 months before this placement.  My experience was excellent from the interview process to the hiring process.  Travis provided timely responses to any of the questions that I asked and with feedback following the interviews so that I was not left wondering whether or not I got the position.  He was really good at identifying positions that match with my skill set and didn’t waste my time by offering positions that weren’t a good fit.  I have been working with him for a while and my experience has always been really positive.  What was of value and very helpful to me was that Travis does a really good job balancing the interests of the candidate with the employer.  I find that he really looks out for the best interests of the candidate and is really good at keeping the candidate informed throughout the process so that they are not kept in the dark.  He is also very responsive to any questions that the candidate has (which makes what is normally a very stressful process much easier) and responds to emails immediately regardless of the time, i.e. on weekends or after hours.  I have used other recruiters in the past but my experience with ZSA was far superior.  The other recruiters did not take the time to really get to know the candidate the way that ZSA does.  My experience with ZSA has been very positive and I would be very happy to work with them again.

ZSA reached out to me on behalf of their client resulting in my being placed as Tax Associate. I had an excellent experience with Travis and he was extremely responsive and positive throughout. He also helped me by providing practical advice based on his experience, which reassured me when I had to make decisions. I really appreciated his guidance throughout the process.

I was placed as an Associate and dealt with Travis. I had been passively reviewing Job postings in the Ontario reports and reviewing opportunities raised for me by other recruiters. Travis contacted me on LinkedIn, and my experience with him was excellent. I worked with him for over a year, and he was very understanding and supportive when I was not interested in firms/opportunities he raised and/or turned down viable offers that I was not comfortable with. He was also consistent about reaching out periodically to see if I was still in the market and encouraged me to hear out all opportunities when I was weighing multiple opportunities. This ultimately landed me a better role that I could have initially expected, or imagined. Travis brought great value in his patience and understanding regarding qualities in a new role/firm I was looking for aside from compensation. I have spoke with 5 recruiters including Travis over the last year or so. Travis was my favourite because I felt heard by him and he took the time to speak to me and check in with me before and after interviews. Travis validated my experience and hopes for a new firm where others discounted my ability and credentials to move to the type of firm that interested me.

We engaged ZSA as, historically, they have provided the best service and candidates. Our experience with Travis was excellent.  He was extremely responsive from engagement and worked tirelessly for us. We found great value in his candor, experience and relationship building, and he will be our “go to” going forward. We have used other recruiters in the past, but ZSA outranks other recruitment firms.

I was placed as Corporate Legal Counsel and had an excellent experience with Travis. Travis, as usual, proactively referred this opening to me. In particular, and most appreciative of Travis, is his response to inquiries and the promptness with which he does so. As well, despite being engaged by, and acting for the client, Travis is equally mindful and considerate of candidate needs and provides very useful guidance along the way. I have used other recruiters in the past, and for the most part, ZSA compares night and day to them.

I was placed as an associate lawyer. I spoke with Travis when I completed my articles, as I wanted to make a move from London to the Toronto market. I recall finding his profile on LinkedIn and dealing with Travis was excellent. He was communicative and transparent; he was always willing to take a call; and he advised me of great opportunities. Travis kept my goals in mind and advised me of opportunities that aligned with them. He also brought to my attention this opening, which I might not have noticed given my busy schedule. I did not know that the firm was hiring when he contacted me and his communication led me to this position. I’ve used other recruiters in the past from different agencies who were discouraging at times. Travis, having had experience in the legal arena, was realistic but encouraging.

Our experience working with Travis was excellent. We have used many recruiters in the past and would use the services of ZSA again.

I applied for a legal counsel position through ZSA.  Not only is Travis an outstanding professional, he addressed all of my questions and concerns. I have worked with dozens of recruiters in the past and it turns out that Travis was the most effective one which was what mattered most to me.

We reached out to ZSA because of its known expertise in the legal field. Our experience working with Travis was exceptional. He did all of the work and we simply had to pick from a roster of excellent candidates. We are very very happy with our pick. Travis’ ability to find good candidates and do all of the foundational work for the interviews was of great value. We have used other recruiters in the past for non- lawyer positions but would definitely use ZSA again in the future and just contacted Travis for another lawyer hire.

I had seen Travis on my LinkedIn home page and he was one of the initial recruiters who I reached out to when I was searching for a new opportunity. I called three recruiters in total but ended up going with Travis. Dealing with Travis was excellent. The support that he gave me during the process was phenomenal. I really appreciated his ability to listen to my ‘wants’ and to be available for career discussions during my recruit. He was never pushy and was a pleasure to have in my corner as a cheerleader. I really enjoyed working with him. I chose Travis out of a series of interested recruiters and it was a great decision. Travis has great emotional intelligence and his market knowledge (and flexibility in pursuing leads) was very helpful. Some recruiters can be hyper-aggressive but Travis’ professionalism shone during my work with him. He was patient and careful in listening to my unique placement desires, even as they changed over the course of my recruit. I trusted him with my career (a great decision) and would recommend him again in a heartbeat.

We needed assistance with a search for an Internal General Counsel and no previous efforts had been made before contacting ZSA.  I dealt with Travis Usher and my experience was excellent. Travis was very communicative and efficient. Time was a factor and we managed to fill the position after only a few weeks.  Travis was also instrumental in the contract negotiation phase and helped a great deal in landing our preferred candidate. What was particularly helpful was the insight he had into the candidate’s mindset – sometimes it is very difficult to understand their motivations and needs. Travis certainly helped bridged that gap. ZSA is top notch and I would use their services again.

I was placed as an Associate by ZSA and my consultant was Travis Usher. I had contacted firms to discuss potential opportunities and one of the firms was working with Travis, and we later connected to discuss the position at McMillan. Working with Travis was excellent. He was diligent; he was persistent; and he communicated openly and transparently while providing helpful insights throughout our relationship. What was valuable and helpful were his insights about the job market and the McMillan role/offer.

Travis Usher of ZSA contacted me about a Legal Counsel role. In dealing with Travis, the communication, effort and professionalism (amongst other things) were excellent. ZSA provided valuable follow up information; was in regular and timely contact; and gave me strong insight throughout this process. I had not previously used any recruiters before and ZSA was first class. Travis was overall a pleasure to deal with and it was a great experience.

I had previously worked with Travis on a prior posting (on which I was ultimately unsuccessful) and we had kept in touch in the years after. Travis is a great recruitment partner. He listened to my concerns and we developed a multi-level strategy for my job search. He was always responsive and I felt that I always knew what was happening in respect of the process throughout. It was great to have Travis having conversations “behind the scenes” with the firm contacts. As well, I was able to access postings that I likely would not have been aware of without ZSA.
