Placing the finest legal minds

Testimonials

Over the last few years, I have had the pleasure to work with RainMaker on several occasions to assist in expanding RioCan’s legal department. In all cases, the searches were extensive, thoughtful and resulted in an exceptional slate of candidates to be interviewed and, ultimately, selected. Adam truly understood our unique business needs and, as importantly, the right “fit” for the organization in every case. His knowledge of the real estate market, excellent judgment and highest level of service combined to deliver outstanding results in each case. RainMaker has been a valuable and longstanding partner of RioCan, which I expect to continue well into the future.

Testimonials

RainMaker has been our exclusive agent for recruiting in-house counsel for several years. Over that time we have added a number of lawyers on both a permanent and contract basis and, in each case, the lawyer has been a success. They take the time to understand our needs and culture – and approach each assignment with professionalism and as an opportunity to maintain and improve RainMaker’s relationship with us.

Testimonials

We have reached out to RainMaker Group for key support to fill strategic roles within our legal group with consistent positive results.  Adam and his team can be counted on to take the time to understand our business needs and then apply critical judgment to the process in a way that comes as close as possible to being part of our actual team.   This results in an efficient, effective and professional project that we can be proud to have our name associated with.

Testimonials

RainMaker Group was a great recruitment partner in many of our searches. They understood our business, culture and candidate requirements, and we were impressed with their commitment to service and the depth of their knowledge of the legal market. I would highly recommend RainMaker Group to any corporation seeking a high-calibre lawyer at any level.

Testimonials

We have worked with RainMaker Group on several occasions over the last 10+ years whenever we sought to expand our team of inhouse counsel at First National. Our recruitment mandates with RainMaker have been a great success. Adam and his team are
always responsive to our unique needs; they listen to our ‘wish list’ but offer up valuable
strategic direction and advice borne out of their deep experience in placing high-quality
candidates. They know the market and are well connected to a network of engaged,
experienced and qualified applicants. They are also prepared to provide frank advice to manage our expectations. They feel invested in our outcomes. We know that Adam will deal with us honestly and with integrity. This is the kind of service and attention that keeps us coming back to RainMaker. We have no hesitation recommending RainMaker to other organizations undertaking a legal recruitment process.”

Testimonials

In my nine years as Managing Partner of Aird & Berlis LLP, I had the opportunity to work with RainMaker Group on many occasions. I found them to be very knowledgeable about the Canadian legal marketplace; detailed in their vetting and coaching of candidates; and careful about only presenting candidates who they believe will be a fit with our Firm. This attention to detail and “fit” sets RainMaker apart from most other recruiting firms. The candidates placed with us by RainMaker have, without exception, been strong additions to our firm and have thrived in our environment.

Testimonials

Being located outside the GTA, we often have difficulty recruiting top talent. Rainmaker Group has been integral in our ability to filter through the talent pool to identify the best candidate for our Firm’s requirements. We have had multiple hiring successes engaging Rainmaker Group and look forward to working with them in the future.

Testimonials

Because of RainMaker Group’s extraordinary efforts in filling our last legal placement I have no hesitation in giving RainMaker my highest endorsement. We knew we were in good hands right from the start because of RainMaker Group’s emphasis on the “know your customer” process. RainMaker Group asked all the right questions and were exceptional listeners. Clearly RainMaker has substantial industry contacts and a talent for seeking out the right skill set. But RainMaker’s real value to Orlando Corporation was both in understanding our particular corporate culture and then finding precisely the right personality to suit it. The fact that they faced an extremely tight market made things all the more challenging, and we were impressed by their dedication in wanting to ‘get it right’. I am especially thankful that you Adam and Danya were so patient and persistent, never allowing us to lower our sights or to consider candidates that didn’t measure up to each of our requirements. Their vetting  process was a huge timesaver and one of the many reasons why we will use RainMaker for our next hire.

Testimonials

Over the years, RainMaker Group has worked closely with our Commercial Real Estate group on a number of recruitment mandates ranging from associate to counsel to partner. Adam Lepofsky’s knowledge of the real estate market and industry is unparalleled. He is service-oriented and asks the right questions in order to seek a clear understanding of the true needs of our Group and the Firm. Further, the combination of the dedication, judgment and professionalism of Adam and his team ensure a successful result for the candidate and for us. It is always a pleasure to work with him and his team. I highly recommend this team for your search.

Testimonials

Testimonials

It was a pleasure dealing with Adam and Anne on our search for Vice President, General Counsel. They did a thorough search including discussions with other senior executives at Apotex, and presented a first class slate of candidates. Due to their attention to detail and awareness of the personalities involved, we could have gone with any of the top candidates. The search was handled with a high degree of professionalism as well a sense of humor, both of which were greatly appreciated.  We are very pleased with the outcome of the search, and would deal with Rainmaker again without hesitation.
