      Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently began my career search as my firm was relocating and I wanted to find a position closer to where I reside.  Chere Estrin and Andrew Ghilarducci-Thompson stand out in my professional opinion. Both Chere and Andrew do not waste the potential candidate's  time at all. They zero in on the Professional background of the candidate as well as the needs of the employer and match the candidate with the best firms in the industry.  Their level of professionalism reflects excellence and knowledge within the legal industry.  I would highly recommend their recruiting services.

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot express to you out there what an extremely beneficial experience I have had with Chere Estrin and her company. Chere (a published author) and her staff really know the intricacies of job searching in today's legal profession employment market. It was a revelation. I had mentioned to an attorney buddy of mine how I had become quite frustrated and disillusioned with my job search, the application process, and what seemed like boundless negativity and bias from several HR personnel. He then referred me to ELS. Subsequently, after I met with Chere, I learned so much and I feel new energy and encouragement ! Now, I am better armed and now know that these days I need to utilize modern strategies, follow specific avenues based on my background and to target certain size law firms with updated tactics in light of AI and other technologies being used by legal employers, what language/phrases to use and not use during interviews and that it's no longer just a Cover Letter, Resume and Letters of Reference needed to land a well-fitting position, just to list a few topics we covered in my session with Chere. She was very generous with her recruitment knowledge and time. Plus, Estrin Legal Staffing offers a free Resume review. I HEARTILY RECOMMEND ESTRIN LEGAL STAFFING !! For me, there is no question in my mind that it has been time well spent and once I follow through with Chere's suggestions and directions, and I renew my job search, I have no doubt that I will soon be happily landing the right position for me.

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Estrin Legal staffing is one of the ONLY staffing companies that actually works for its clients whether the client is someone  looking for an engagement or a law firm needing to fill a position. I worked with agent Kevin Hooks, who I found to be knowledgeable, conscientious and able to negotiate a great contract. He was honest and fair and kept me updated. I was very particular and he never blinked or gave up. I believe Estrin and Kevin Hooks have great relationships with numerous firms who trust them. When you work with them, you have the best chance of landing the position you want or getting connected with a candidate that will be a great fit. Thanks Kevin!!!

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am so happy I found Chere Estrin (CEO of Estrin Legal Staffing). Chere truly delivered for me. She is so likable and personable and took the time to walk me through every step and hold my hand along the way. She checked in at every step, answered my calls and called me back every time. She went out of her way to make the process easy and stress-free. She was so hands on, helpful and insightful and knows how to promote you better than you could yourself. She’s just an amazing person with excellent coaching skills to get you where you want to be. Because of her dedication and hard work, I ended up with an incredible job that I absolutely love. I never thought I’d enjoy the job search, but Chere made it a positive experience and really does all the work for you. I can’t thank her and her team enough for going the extra mile and helping me land a role that is such a perfect fit. I’d recommend Chere and her team to anyone who wants not just a recruiter, but a true partner in their job search.

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chere reached out to me on LinkedIn with the 'perfect opportunity'.  After a year of searching, I responded with a little hesitance but she won me over immediately.  And she was right - it was the perfect opportunity.  To my amazement the firm quickly scheduled me through multiple interviews with ease and I received an offer meeting all expectations.  Chere's advice and encouragement boosted my confidence and drive.  I definitely recommend their services if you are seeking your 'perfect opportunity.'

This webinar is packed full of great ideas and instruction on using LinkedIn to accomplish your goal of being noticed and taken seriously.

”As a leader in nationwide legal staffing, she provides her clients access to the best current candidates in all practice areas working with both law firms and in-house legal departments. I have known Chere for close to 3 decades and have admired her dedication to the legal profession and her generosity in sharing her expertise through in person seminars and conferences and especially now through online web sessions where she is exposing knowledge of other experts to benefit those of us in the legal field. She is a warm and engaging person as well as a consummate professional. I have no doubt you would enjoy working with her if given the opportunity.

”Thank you for your great piece on office politics! They were best advices I have read about this topic ever. I regret that it was too late for me as this Friday will be my last day at my current job.   I will definitely use your advices in my next career. I will be jobless for a while because I was a complete “novice” at office politics.   Thanks again and keep up the good work!

”We’ve never met. You encouraged me back in 2016, 2017 on the interview and you provided a stellar list of insightful questions to ask if a prospective employer. Very empowering and so I landed the job at Olivarez Madruga Lemieux O’Neill July 8 2018.

”If your looking for someone to take your career to the next level, look no further. Chere Estrin and her team of experienced recruiters will not only find you the job of your dreams but will guide you, coach you and be there through the whole process. Not only did Chere help me see my full potential, but she really helped me believe that I was more valuable than I ever knew. She has worked in the business for years and her relationships with the biggest firms in the greater Los Angeles area are second to none. For Estrin Legal, it's not just about placing candidates, it's about establishing relationships, growing people and best of all.. changing peoples lives. She adds the most genuine approach to what she does and truly cares about who she works with. She will work endless hours until she finds the right fit for you and its apparent that she does it from the kindness of her heart. It's not all about making money for her and that is why she is so successful in changing lives. She changed mine! Thanks Estrin Legal and a great big thanks to you, Chere!

”I was mentioning to my wife the other day how excited I was to be working with you and how you were bringing in far better candidates than we had seen with other sources. She immediately said that I need to get an intro over to you.
I’ll let her pass along her resume, but she has fifteen years of experience in ediscovery, has managed/built out several groups, and is barred in a few jurisdictions.

”Chere contacted me late-Fall, as she thought I would be a perfect interviewing candidate for a unique professional opportunity. Though I had been approached throughout my career by various recruiters, something about Chere's manner intrigued me, so I listened. The more we spoke I felt this was a journey I would like to learn more about. Over almost three months, TONS of phone calls and emails (and lots of interview discussions), Chere phoned me in December to congratulate me on getting the opportunity. I found Chere wonderfully communicative, extremely proactive, very hands-on and informative beyond belief. She is wise and provided great guidance along the way and I am extremely grateful (we even had a few spirited-but-healthy debates, but I ended up always following her advice!). Thank you Chere, as I am so glad you reached out that late-September afternoon, as your enthusiasm and zeal for your work is what made me initially listen, and when you described the opportunity I was instantly smitten. You are fantastic at what you do and I hope more learn about how wonderful you are.
