The ALT
Approach

Experts

The ALT team members are veterans in the industry. Our extensive experience spans more than 50 combined years. We recruit in all areas of law for a diverse client base in all industries. As relationship experts, we gain the trust and confidence of a comprehensive network of legal talent across Canada.

Collaborative

From the start, our legal recruiters invest time to fully understand your unique needs. Through open consultation and collaboration, we ask the tough questions to ensure the right fit. Communication and responsiveness set us apart.

Team

We truly work as a team with a common goal – to find our clients the best talent. The integrity of our recommendation process is critical to a successful hire. Recommendations are made following objective evaluation and consensus to provide clear choices for our clients.

Selective

We are not high volume recruiters. We are selective in the campaigns we work on and the candidates we represent. Our team proactively manages the recruitment process setting clear timelines while scrutinizing the candidates to ensure they meet and exceed your expectations.

Confidentiality

As lawyers and legal recruiters, we know the importance of confidentiality and express consent. Everything we do hinges on our trustworthy reputation and we work hard to maintain it. Please review our Privacy Policy to learn more.

The ALT Process

Consult

ALT collaborates with you to assess your hiring needs, position criteria and expectations to define the ideal candidate. We’ll prepare the job description and help you set a competitive compensation package. We develop the search strategy, tailored to your role and ideal start date. We set a clear timeline for the recruit and have regular progress check-ins.

Explore

You can count on us to thoroughly cover the market and present a stellar pool of candidates. We connect with active and passive candidates through extensive, virtually unimpeded headhunting, leveraging our network, digital marketing, and our database.

Connect

We meet the best candidates for the job in person to assess their fit for the role and, more widely, for your organization. Our candidate meeting forges a relationship that yields insights and motivations well beyond the resume.

Recommend

With consent from the best candidates, we objectively assess for skill and fit with your organization. By consensus, we further streamline our recommendations while comparing and contrasting the candidates most well suited for your team.

Interview

Our recruiters take the lead on all interview scheduling, follow-up, and debriefing – so you can focus on having productive conversations with your potential hire. With interviews complete, we’ll help you select a finalist and set the terms of a competitive offer.

Talent Acquisition

We’ll help you close the deal. We provide guidance on the offer package, present the verbal offer and handle candidate negotiations to get the candidate to “yes”.

Firm Offer

ALT conducts references and any background checks you require on request. When the terms and conditions are firm, we present your written offer for candidate signature.

Relationship & Guarantee

We’re not done yet. We follow up with you and the new hire throughout the first year to make sure that the new hire is everything you expect. Better still, we’re confident in our placement and back it up with the most comprehensive guarantee in the industry. This is just the start of a long-term relationship.
