Our History and Experience in Legal Recruiting
A History of Longevity and Teamwork
Momentum was founded in early 2011 by Jane Pollard, a veteran Austin legal recruiter who began recruiting in 2000 after practicing law with a large law firm for several years, and Jennifer Nelson, who had a track record of sales and management success in a related legal industry. Within a short time, they assembled the current team of recruiters at Momentum, each of whom also had many years of success in the legal recruiting industry and had either been respected competitors or former colleagues. Former competitors have been a cohesive team at Momentum, working towards the common goal of helping employers hire top legal talent in Texas and aiding legal professionals in the advancement of their careers.
Unparalleled Legal Recruiting Experience and Expertise
The experienced recruiting team at Momentum have placed over one thousand legal professionals with law firms and companies in every major city in Texas. Most Momentum recruiters have more than twenty years of experience in the field of legal recruitment, and have extensive experience placing attorneys in both in-house and law firm environments.
We also place:
- compliance professionals
- paralegals
- contract administrators
- law firm administrators
- legal operations professionals
- law technology professionals
Much more important than the number of placements, however, is the quality of each fit, which we measure in terms of client and candidate satisfaction. We obtain this perfect fit by listening to our employer clients and tweaking each search until we find you the right candidate for each role. This takes persistence, tenacity, and motivation to succeed, which we bring to every search we undertake.
We strive to provide our clients with the highest standard of service, an exceptional hiring experience, and unrivaled retention rates. Our niche concentration enables us to access an extensive network of specialized talent and craft precise, long-term fits between top employers and talented legal professionals. To make successful matches, we are attentive to our clients’ business strategy and strive to understand their culture and leadership needs. For each search we listen carefully to the needs and challenges of the employers and legal professionals we serve, striving to make ideal matches that endure over time.
