While working with Emerald Search I have been continually impressed (frankly astonished) by the level of service I received. I want to extend my sincere thanks to the team for all the hard work you folks put in on your end to find me work and, ultimately, a position at an excellent firm. I can truly say that my brief time with your company was one of my most positive work experiences. Especially notable was the excellent level of communication extended to me - I wish all employers followed up so diligently and made an effort to reach employees through more than one medium. I do not believe I would have my current position without your help.

Legal Support Supervisor, International Law Firm

I had an incredible experience working with Emerald Search Partners! Aman and Kibby were both professional, communicative, and genuinely invested in finding the right fit for me. I started as a temporary employee and was hired on permanently within three weeks. Aman continued to check in and support me even after I accepted the full-time role. Their team made the entire process smooth and encouraging from start to finish. I highly recommend Emerald Search Partners to anyone looking for thoughtful and effective recruiting support in the legal field!    

Receptionist, Seattle 

I worked with Jamie Hauser, and had the best experience. I was a paralegal in family law for 4 years, and wanted to get out. After several other recruiters telling me it would be tough, she had faith in me and submitted me for roles that would level up my career and also get me out of family law. She helped me land my dream job! I am so thankful, and will definitely be reaching out to Emerald Search Partners if I want to make another career move.

Legal Assistant, Seattle 

I had the opportunity to work with Elizabeth Murray, Recruiting Manager, who promptly met with me and provided valuable assistance in securing a paralegal position at a well-established and reputable law firm. Throughout the process, Elizabeth offered consistent support and guidance, especially in preparing for interviews. I highly recommend Emerald to individuals seeking employment or pursuing new opportunities within the legal profession.    

Paralegal, Seattle 

I had a wonderful experience working with this agency. They really care about their clients and work closely with them to cater to their individual needs and career goals. I worked with multiple people from their team who were all efficient in communicating and making sure I had all the information I needed to be successful in my career. Because of this agency I was offered a full time job through my temporary contract assignment. I worked closely with Katryn Whitney who was very attentive and caring. She listened to all of my concerns and took the time to meet with me frequently as she showed genuine interest in my career/work progress. Emerald Search Partners is the best recruiting agency to work with! 

Legal Clerk, Seattle 

Greg Walther of Emerald Search Partners was an incredible resource for me. He took the time to understand exactly what I needed and wanted, and only presented opportunities that were in line with what I was looking for. He prepared me well for interviews and helped me keep perspective and evaluate my options. Associate attorneys are approached all the time by recruiters who just want to submit them to everything - I truly appreciated Greg’s different approach. It was clear he was listening to what I wanted and cared about me and my career. I landed at a job I am thrilled with, and I wholeheartedly recommend working with Greg.    

Attorney, Seattle

Kibby was more than helpful in assisting me with my job search in the legal world. As someone just starting out in this field, she helped me find various temporary projects that gave me insight into different firms. With Kibby's guidance, I was also able to discover what kinds of legal work I was interested in and what would be a good fit for me long-term. I am now in a permanent position at a prominent Seattle law firm. Through Kibby and ESP, I was able to find exactly the type of placement that I was looking for.
