jobs that link to legal recruiters Forum

[Anonymous User]

Hi all, I am a 2014 graduate that just took the bar exam. I've been searching for jobs online and a lot of the job posts seem to link to recruiters and in order to apply to the positions you need to create an account with the recruiter. I am wondering if I should apply for these jobs by signing up with the recruiters(multiple) anyway, or if I should avoid doing so? Thanks in advance for any replys, I've search the forum for an answer but was unable to find one.

op here, still wondering if anyone has input on this question? I see job posts on numerous websites that link to a recruiter where I need to sign up and I'm not sure if it is good form to do it?

These jobs are going to by mostly flame. They are fishing attempts for resumes. Unless you have a federal clerkship lined up, recruiters (and most online job ads) are a waste of your time.

op here, thank you so much for the information, I guess I'm stuck with symplicity.

You are doing yourself a great disservice if you just stick with simplicity. You need to get involved in the legal community you seek to join. You should know who top practitioners are in your desired specialty. If you don't know who they are, do informational interviews until you do.

Sitting around applying to job listings is a recipe for failure.
