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.

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
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
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 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.

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.
