What a few of our clients and contractors have to say:

Curtis, just a note to thank you for your personal efforts in allowing us (large Chicago law firm) to hire Ryan as an associate.  Your reasonable fee greatly helped this hire go through our administrative system.  Continued success with your firm.  Sincerely, Richard (partner)

I really appreciate all your efforts in helping me with my job search. Working with LLS was very refreshing because of your attentiveness and all the opportunities that were forwarded to me. Some other staffing agencies do not show that level of attention and certainly aren't as proactive as your firm. Thanks again, Dorothy

Curtis is hands-down one of the most knowledgeable and personable legal recruiters I have ever worked with. He follows up with you while you are on assignment and works with you and the employer in any way possible. He made my contract assignment for his firm one of the most enjoyable I've ever had. And, he personally brings your paychecks to you because it gives him a chance to catch up with you - talk about personal service! Alexis

I really enjoyed working with you and your firm. Your responsiveness was great and although I received offers to work with other recruiters, I liked your firm because it was exactly what I was looking for - small and responsive. Sincerely, Ada

Curtis, you are by far the best and most responsive recruiter with whom I've worked. I really appreciate all the extra attention - Yasir

Thank you for the wonderful opportunity you have given me on my first Chicago law firm assignment, Curtis. I could not have done it without you. The Linder Legal Staffing experience truly is the best! Thank you again for making assignment-to-hire conversion process so easy for me - and the law firm, Leanne

Curtis, I have interviewed at and worked for a few other legal staffing agencies in Chicago and Linder Legal Staffing is definitely the most friendly, professional and helpful one out there.  You and Nancy are just great.  Thanks again, Rachel

Curtis, I wanted to mention to you how great I think you and your company are. I was working with two other recruiters and they were no comparison to you. You care about your candidates and take that extra step to ensure that both the candidates and the law firms get the best opportunities. I cannot say the same about other recruiters who seem as if they are  in it just for the money and will place anyone anywhere. My belief is that your methods  helped me a lot.
