Joanne is professional and responsive. Meeting with her is a pleasure and not a stress. Very quickly, she focuses on the strengths of a candidate and offers positive comments and strategies. Joanne quickly managed to find suitable opportunities to explore and very quickly arranged interviews with possible employers. I have dealt with other recruiters before and she stands head and shoulders above them. Joanne worked as a lawyer in the private sector so she understands the trials and tribulations of being a lawyer. I am confident that Joanne will help me find my next career placement soon and I would highly recommend her to my colleagues or to anyone else looking for an employment change in the legal field.

I had the pleasure of retaining Joanne when I was looking for work during the Great Recession – a particularly challenging and stressful time to be looking for a job as a junior associate, especially when one has never been unemployed. I found Joanne ethical, forthright, realistic yet positive. Her extensive international legal experience aids Joanne in knowing the legal market and providing realistic career advice. Joanne also really cares about her clients. Not only did she consider my long-term career goals, Joanne checked in with me periodically to see how I was doing. I highly recommend Joanne to those looking for jobs and legal talent.

I strongly recommend contacting Conflitti & Associates as a recruiter. Their professionalism and diligence allowed them to provide me with the most suitable place of employment in accordance with my interests, in a short period of time.

I always found with Conflitti & Associates not only staff with strong ethical values but caring people fully focused in a priceless goal: making at least one person happy at the work place.

When my friend had advised me to seek the services of a recruiter when I was in the midst of looking for a new career position, I had my doubts. However, Joanne Conflitti was amazing! She worked hard to get to know me as an individual and stayed by me to find the right placement and provided me with the right guidance that I needed. Joanne understood where I was coming from and did everything she could to ensure that I made the right decision for my future. She is reliable, honest and trustworthy. Anyone seeking a new legal position should definitely seek the help of Joanne Conflitti.

Having been trapped in an ill-suited position and desperate to make a move to another firm, my friend and former colleague suggested I contact Conflitti & Associates for assistance. I took my friend’s advice and contacted Joanne Conflitti, hoping that she could steer me in the right direction in my job search [I have used other recruiting firms before and have been advised that there was nothing they could do for me given the area of law that I practice]. I was pleasantly surprised when Joanne responded to my email within minutes and advised me that she would do everything she could to assist me.

She listened to my likes and dislikes in a firm and empathized with what I was going through. I found it reassuring that Joanne not only knew the jobs on the market that would suite me, but that she understood the difficulty associated with making a career transition.

Joanne responded to all my concerns in very short time frames and always provided words of wisdom and encouragement, when I felt that I was never going to find a new job.

Through Joanne, I found my ideal job. She took the time to prep me for the interview by reviewing possible questions and answers. She also suggested how I should handle myself in the interview. Joanne marketed me in such a way that I felt more confident going into the interview then I would have if I had found the job myself.

I am eternally grateful to Joanne for her assistance and guidance through my job search process. She is an excellent recruiter, who takes the time to meet her clients and understand them on a personal level so that any potential job will be the right fit. She does not push any client into accepting a job simply so she can earn a commission; she truly wants what is best for her clients and will do anything to achieve that end.

I was really impressed with the personal attention and service I received with Conflitti & Associates. Rather than feeling like just another number as I did with other legal placement agencies, I was always consulted about prospective placements and provided the support I needed to perform my best at the interviews. Joanne Conflitti went the extra mile for me and I will always be thankful!

Conflitti & Associates are more than just legal recruiters; we are career placement experts and make it our business to provide every candidate with personalized service. Our candidates are more than just resumes that possibly get forgotten if they do not meet current staffing needs. Once we decide to work together, you become a member of our organization. We take the time to get to know you: who you are, what you want and what it will take to achieve your career aspirations. We are your premier resource for all Toronto legal jobs.

We will never make a placement just to generate a fee. We will only place you in a position that we both believe is the right career move for you. As a legal professional, you have invested a lot of time and money into developing your career and a name for yourself in the legal community. We understand that the wrong career move could jeopardize all of your efforts and that the right career move can catapult you into years of success.

As a legal placement firm, we provide a service; however, our product is people’s lives. With that in mind, we treat your career as if it was our own: with respect, consideration and careful planning. We also understand that, although we receive our fees from our clients, we would not be in business without our candidates. You are where our value comes from. We know that one day a candidate may be a client and a client a candidate. Therefore, you will receive the level of respect you are due.

We are not in the business of collecting resumes. We only work with those that we believe can be successfully placed in the legal job of their choice within a reasonable amount of time. You will always know where you stand, as we make it a point to respond to every inquiry within a reasonable time period. We will inform you of any legal job in that you qualify for and which would be of interest to you. With our personalized service and career counseling, you will know what we are doing to help you every step of the way. We are building our business on referrals and seeking to help develop careers in the Toronto legal community.

C&A understands the importance of confidentiality in this business and during a job search. Your resume will never leave our desks without your knowing where it is going and only after we both decide that you have a reasonable chance of obtaining an interview and being successful in the position. We work with you to put together the best presentation package so when our clients receive your information, they see you as an individual and not just as a resume. References are a valuable asset and when you enlist us to conduct your job search, they will never be used until they are necessary. Your references will never be contacted in order to gain more clients; they will only be used once we have determined that you have an excellent chance of securing a position.
