As a legal recruiter, I’ve seen candidates reject an offer from what they thought was their first choice firm because another firm showed more enthusiasm to have them on their team. Likewise, I’ve seen clients reject highly credentialed and qualified candidates who didn’t seem to show a genuine interest or excitement in the firm’s practice. In many ways, showing your enthusiasm for a position is just as important as the experience, qualifications and skills you bring to a job interview. Similarly, showing a candidate who you’re interested in that you’re… well, interested in them can help you land a quality candidate. Showing your excitement in this process can make all the difference, from both the candidate and employer perspectives. 

While it might sound obvious that it’s important to show enthusiasm in the job hunt process, or similarly while you’re searching for a candidate, it can be overlooked and it can cost you. Here are some sure-fire ways that you can show your excitement and help seal the deal.

When Jessica Chin Somers was 14 years old, she discovered that she was good at running. Not just ‘good’ – more like Forrest Gump when he said he ‘just felt like running’ and kept going kind of good. She started running competitively and hasn’t stopped, having completed 10 marathons and over 20 half-marathons. “Legal recruiting is a lot like running a marathon. You can do sprint recruiting and make a ton of quick placements, but whenever you hit a bump in the industry, you will lose your stride. Often, fast placement candidates don’t come back and those clients don’t call again. Robert [Kinney, President of Kinney Recruiting] understands that and prioritizes quality over quantity and building long-lasting relationships. That’s something that I really appreciate about working at Kinney Recruiting. Long-term placements mean that you are continuously working, learning and networking.” Jessica is in legal recruiting for the long run and despite not having intentionally set out to become a recruiter, she’s dominating the field. As a Managing Director at Kinney Recruiting, she matches attorneys to law firm and in-house opportunities in New York, nationwide and internationally.
