Candidate Services

We love what we do and want our candidates to be just as happy in their jobs. We offer individualized counseling, market research, interview preparation, and negotiation of job offers, while providing valuable insight into firm and company cultures and structures.

Individually tailored. Hand-selected.

We take the time to get to know each outstanding attorney that we work with. We communicate, with full honesty and transparency, why a certain opportunity may—or may not—be the one that is right for you. Making a good fit is far more valuable to us than closing a deal. Our goal is to make your move as positive and seamless as possible.

We regularly conduct searches for both firms and in-house opportunities.

Testimonials

  • "Natalie helped me move from a firm position to an in-house position that was a perfect fit for me.  She was always available to talk through options and provide critical information I needed to make decisions, while never making me feel pressured.  At what can be an intense time of career transition, it was wonderful to feel like I had an advocate in my corner.  She always puts her candidates first.  She is approachable and professional, and I feel comfortable reaching out to her for career advice or with questions about the market."
    Assistant General Counsel
  • "Natalie became a mentor to me early in my legal career. With her assistance, I was able to make a very significant move to an employer where I love the work, receive higher compensation, and even enjoy a greater work/life balance. I would not have gotten this position without her guidance. 
    I frequently call Natalie with questions about professional development. She knows the Arizona market extremely well and always takes the time to answer my questions. She truly has a gift for communicating about the legal market in a simple, direct, and positive way. I also love that she is a licensed attorney because it is refreshing to speak with someone who knows what it is like to work in this field. I have noticed that it gives her an informed perspective in addressing my own priorities and concerns. Please call her -- you won't be disappointed!"
    Litigation Associate
  • "Natalie and Phyllis were invaluable in our search. After posting and interviewing candidates for months without success, we turned to Phyllis Hawkins & Associates for our search. They very quickly found the perfect match for our company culture and with the right experience and judgment for the role. They were always responsive and made the process very smooth. I will definitely turn to them again."
    General Counsel
