Trusted Reviews from Law Firms and Legal Professionals

  • Client Review: Mach Law

    I wasn’t sure what it was going to be like to hire a recruiter but I can say that I was SHOCKED at how good Mission Recruiting is. Looking back, I’m so grateful that we hired them to help us find the right candidate. I was assigned to Budd Barmeyer as my Director of Recruiting. Budd was helpful, provided wonderful customer service and he found the best candidate we had come across in the past two years. If I ever decide to start a recruiting firm, Budd would be the first person that I hire. He was phenomenal and a pleasure to work with. Budd, thank you again for all of your help!!!! The customer service at Mission Recruiting was also excellent. Vanessa Satterfield followed up with me regularly and made sure we had a positive experience/checked in on us. Top notch from start to finish.

  • Candidate Review: Andrea N.

    Matthew from Mission Recruiting was instrumental in finding my current position. He was always knowledgeable , kind, courteous, and very professional. He was available and ready to speak at all hours including evenings and on weekends and was able to reassure me during my moments of anxiety concerning my newly accepted employment. I highly recommend Mission Recruiting.

  • Client Review: Fagen, Friedman, and Fulfrost

    I appreciate the time and effort the Mission Recruiting team has taken to get to know our firm culture and practice areas. This has allowed them to present us with great candidates that add to our diverse tapestry of thought, skill, and background– one of the many aspects that make our firm such a special place to work. The recruiters are tenacious with their follow-up, which I respect and appreciate, given my busy schedule. I’m happy they’re our partners!

  • Client Review: Lutz, Bobo, & Telfair, P.A.

    We contacted Mission recruiting to assist us in filling an urgently needed associate attorney position within our firm.

  • Client Review: Hogue & Belong

    Very professional and easy to work with. Have worked with a lot of recruiting firms, but Mission Recruiting was focused on sending us targeted candidates and not just any prospect that came along like some other recruiting firms.

  • Employee Review: Sagan C.

    I have been with MR for one year and could not begin to cover all the ways this company is a pleasure to work for. From the leadership to the clients we serve, MR is a well-oiled machine and raises the bar for the recruiting industry.
