Division Director (Permanent Placement)
Menlo Park, Ca, Us
Was promoted to Division Director (DD) of Robert Half Legal (RHL) within my first year. In 2008, my team ranked #1 in total revenue over all RHL offices in the Eastern Zone; and I was ranked #2 in total individual production out of all zone recruiters. As DD, I managed and supervised up to 10 sales and administrative professionals.Recruited highly skilled legal (and some non-legal) professionals and placed them in permanent positions primarily within law firms and corporate legal departments. I successfully placed candidates into many types of positions including, but not limited to, Attorneys (Partners and Associates), General Counsel, Staff/Counsel, Paralegals, Litigation Support Specialists, Legal Secretaries, Executive Assistants, Billing Personnel, Records Personnel, Receptionists, Operations Support, Human Resource Personnel, Chief Operating Officers, Law Firm Administrators, and Contract Managers/Specialists. I also referred a number of candidates to the RHL temporary staffing division, as well as other Robert Half International divisions, that were successfully placed.Was responsible for bringing new clients to RHL, while also cultivating existing relationships to generate new business. I personally managed the accounts of some of the world's top law firms and corporations, many of which had never done business with RHL before (or had not in a long time); and did the same for small/midsize firms and corporations, including brand new start-ups. I worked directly with Senior Level Executives, Managers, and other key decision makers to build and develop business.Handled all aspects of contract negotiations for both clients and candidates. With clients I negotiated the fees, terms and conditions, payment schedules, etc.; and made certain the contracts were fully executed with signatures of the appropriate parties. For candidates, I negotiated everything from their start date to their full compensation package that included salary and benefits.
