I dealt with Sara and was looking to hire a Real Estate & Corporate LAA. ZSA was referred to me by a colleague at my firm. My experience was excellent – impressive candidates, timely responses, and very professional. The service was fantastic. I was impressed that, with very little communication and discussion, Sara was able to find me several very suitable candidates. I’ve used almost every recruiting firm in Vancouver and I was extremely impressed with ZSA. Usually I find I have to waste an hour discussing the role and when candidates are presented, they don’t have the right skillset or it feels like the recruiter is just sending me anyone even though the skillset isn’t remotely what I’m looking for. ZSA presented the best candidates I’ve seen in a long time. There was no delay in response no matter what time it was and everything was done correctly. I’d rate this service a 10/10. I look forward to engaging with Sara again when more hiring needs arise.

As a partner, we were having considerable difficulty filling a gap in our talent roster. Knowing that we are in a specialized practice area, it became readily apparent that the search was going to be difficult – but we did not realize how difficult it would be to find someone with the appropriate skill-set and experience. We reached out to Jason and our experience dealing with him was excellent. Communication occurred in a timely fashion and he wanted to take the time to get to know me, my practice style, and the need that we were looking to fill. I expected this assisted in finding candidates that would be a good match and helping to “sell” the position to the candidate. ZSA was helpful and able to use its broad network to engage with various contacts. ZSA also appeared to truly understand the particular set of skills and experience we needed and did not waste our time with potential candidates that did not fit the bill. We will use their services again in the future.

I was hiring for an Associate General Counsel, (Transactions). I engaged ZSA because of a pre-existing relationship and strong reputation of the firm. We posted the role using our internal HR team first (as required by internal policy). My experience was excellent. Christopher and Althea were very communicative; they kept me up to date on the search; and, they were on top of things and checked in regularly. They also provided me with several candidate CVs in a challenging market and did an excellent job ensuring I fully understood my preferred candidate’s requirements prior to spending a lot of time considering them for the role. They didn’t pressure me on timing and allowed me to go through the process to end up with an excellent candidate to add to our team. The value they brought to the process was proper vetting, marketplace intelligence, understanding the compensation market, acting as a go-between with the candidates, and being patient. Christopher and Althea were a pleasure to work with and I would use the services of ZSA again.

We needed to fill a Senior VP, Asset Management role and contacted ZSA due to their reputation for this type of search. Once we upgraded our search and started to work with Warren and his team the service was fantastic. Warren has a very good understanding not only of the position we were seeking but also the industry that I work for which, in my opinion, is a critical qualification for a search firm. You may have several candidates to introduce, but if you aren’t familiar with the industry you are searching for then I think it’s more difficult to find the right fit. We have used other recruiters in the past but not for this position. I would use the services of ZSA again.

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.

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.

After researching multiple firms in order to source a General Counsel, we chose ZSA based on their local presence. Working with Mike was an excellent experience – he was able to stay on top of things the whole way through and presented excellent candidates that fit our criteria. Mike really understood the fit with our culture that we were looking for – out of the 6 candidates he presented, 5 could have been hired. We have worked with other recruiters in the past, but ZSA presented the most qualified and best fit candidates to date – we would definitely use their services again.

We needed a lawyer in Alberta for our expanding practice and the assignment was quite unique. Online posting on LinkedIn didn’t produce many results, so we reached out to ZSA. Amrit was attentive and understood the needs. She was up front that it was challenging to find applicants, but she kept at it. Ultimately I believe that potential candidates likely took the opportunity more seriously because it was posted by ZSA, and I would use their services again.

We engaged ZSA looking to support the ongoing lateral growth of our firm. Warren was excellent, as he was able to identify and recruit strong candidates in a short order. Over the years, ZSA has been a strong partner in our firm’s growth. I have used other recruiters in the past, and ZSA compares favourably.

Working with them was excellent – as good as can be due to their expedient service which resulted in getting a great new hire.

Each time a mandate was given to ZSA, knowing the type of boutique firm we are and the specializations of our law practise, you presented us with excellent possible candidates. The candidates you recommended and to whom we offered positions have all developed and matured into fine lawyers.
ZSA’s focus and professionalism in helping us attract new attorneys has been very impressive. We would strongly recommend your services to any law firm seeking to engage a new lawyer.
Your assistance has been extremely appreciated by all of us at Kugler Kandestin.

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.

We were hiring for an associate lawyer position and reached out to ZSA because of our past experience, their reputation, and they don’t send me unqualified candidates. Working with Warren was excellent in that I was only referred candidates who met the criteria I was looking for. There were no efforts to “sell’ me on people who didn’t meet the profile and we found the perfect person to fill the role. We tried to find the right person ourselves, and via our network, without success and ZSA was able to find the right person for us almost immediately. We have used other recruiters in the past but ZSA is much better and we will use then again in the future.

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.

I reached out to ZSA as I was very familiar with Orit’s capabilities and connections in the industry and was confident she would be able to fill the vacancy. Orit was key to finding the right person for Gallagher and she made the process so easy. She knew my personality and took the time to understand what sort of character would fit in at Gallagher and went out to find the right fit. The personal factor was key. Qualified candidates that have the requisite technical expertise are easy to come by – finding the right person that has the technical abilities along with the right character, personality and business acumen is difficult – Orit nailed it. Overall, working with Orit and the ZSA team was a pleasure. Orit was able to understand Gallagher’s needs and quickly provide a variety of candidates that brought the breadth and depth of experience we were looking for. We were incredibly pleased with the pool of candidates presented and we were able to hire someone that is an up and coming talent in the legal profession – all due to the efforts of Orit and the team at ZSA.

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.
