Placing the finest legal minds

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

RainMaker Group has been a true strategic partner. Adam and his team took the time to understand our business and the challenges that we face. They listened to us, and at the same time, pushed our thinking toward the ways to better serve our clients. Most importantly, they gave us a choice of top talent.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
