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

In the legal talent wars Adam Lepofsky is a key strategist. We rely on his direct, no-nonsense approach in accurately assessing the likely fit of potential candidates (for their sake and ours) so that we can continue building our team with exceptional lateral hires.

Testimonials

Whitney and Adam were great to work with. They kept me up to date during every step of the recruitment process and were very helpful by providing thoughtful insights on their client and the job opportunity. They were also very accommodating around my busy schedule and worked very hard to bridge the connection between me and their client. It was a pleasure working with them.

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

What sets RainMaker Group apart is their personalized and long-term partnership approach. RainMaker takes the time to get to know not only your legal recruitment needs but also the team dynamics and corporate culture of your organization to ensure the successful candidate is ultimately the right fit in terms of skills, values and vision. Their commitment to building successful teams, one lawyer at a time, while understanding the evolving legal market makes RainMaker the trusted recruiter of choice.

Testimonials

I have partnered with RainMaker Group on many successful searches across two organizations for almost 15 years.  In a “buyer’s” market, Adam and his team have been invaluable in assessing the numerous talented candidates he has sourced to find the right fit for my team and organization.  In a more challenging “seller’s” market, Adam has very successfully reached into his deep network of high-quality candidates with whom he’s cultivated personal relationships, to find us an exceptional new colleague.  Adam is a responsive and trusted advisor who “tells it like it is” and he takes the time to understand your organization and your specific needs.  Without exception, candidates speak very positively about their experience working with and being advised by the RainMaker team; and that includes myself as a former job seeker placed by RainMaker into my first in-house role. “

Testimonials

The team at RainMaker Group invested the time to understand the Company’s business and culture, and how the Law Department contributes to both. As a result, Rainmaker helped us attract two outstanding candidates who fit in seamlessly and made immediate contributions. I’d recommend them for any legal search.

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

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

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.
