“Art Gunther is a first-rate recruiter. Yes,
Art located an excellent position for me. But beyond that, he took the
time to discuss all aspects of the position and the process with me,
and to consider and address my concerns. Switching careers always
results in some amount of dislocation, but I think Art's time and
effort made the process as straightforward and painless as possible.
Art provides truly excellent service. I continue to be extremely happy
with the in-house position that Art located for me more than two years
ago.”
Chief Counsel Large Public Company
“Christe Lyons is a
first-rate legal recruiter and, frankly, the only recruiter I recommend to
those seeking to make a lateral move in the Chicago legal
marketplace. Christe's knowledge of the Chicago market is
unparalleled. But, more importantly, it is her intelligence and
interpersonal skills that make her an invaluable asset to any attorney, whether
at the partner or associate level, looking to make a lateral move in the
Chicago area. Christe expends a tremendous amount of time and energy
getting to know her candidates in order to find a career move that
truly fits the candidate as well as the prospective employer. ”
Partner Quarles & Brady
“Lindsay was
amazing. Lindsay did not just focus on finding a job for me but instead
focused on finding a job that remedied the concerns I had at my current
job. She was extremely patient and helped me assess the various
opportunities that were available. I would recommend her to any person in the
legal field that would like guidance about other positions available in the
market.”
Corporate Counsel Technology Co. Legal Department
“Art
is great! I told Art that I was interested in not only switching firms,
but also practice areas. Unlike most recruiters, Art never tried
talking me out of changing practice areas. Instead, he listened to me
and was a great source of information and advice. Art dedicated himself
to helping me reach my career goals. I most appreciated how available
Art was during my job search. We spoke almost daily when I was
interviewing, and it was great knowing that I could just call for moral
support during that stressful time. Art was there from beginning to
end. Without Art, I don't think I would be where I am today: extremely
happy in my new position at my new firm. I recommend Art to friends of
mine regularly.”
Associate Grippo & Elden
“Christe Lyons is truly a full service legal recruiter.
From day one she was honest and open with me about my job prospects and what I
could be doing to bolster my chances of a successful placement. She took
the time to comment on my resume and gave me weekly updates on my job
search. She truly seems to have her hand on the pulse of the legal
market. Christe took the time to get to know me and did a fantastic job
of narrowing down the list of firms where I would be a good fit.
When it comes time to recommend a legal recruiter, I give one name--Christe Lyons.”
Associate Horwood, Marcus & Berk
“Lindsay coached me through the interview process. I'd use her again if I wasn't so happy with my current position!”
In-House Counsel Professional Trade Association
“It
was clear from my very first contact with Art that he wanted to do
everything he could to make sure that any move I made was right for me.
He met with me, asked thoughtful and insightful questions (many on
subjects that I had not even thought about in considering whether to
make a move), provided invaluable advice on law firms and other career
issues, and took a genuine interest in my well-being. And he listened
and worked diligently on my behalf. The result? A terrific placement at
Freeborn & Peters. I wholeheartedly recommend the Gunther Group to
anyone looking for assistance in making the right career move.”
Partner Freeborn & Peters
“Switching jobs is never easy. Christe Lyons
took the time to understand me from both a personal and professional
perspective. Christe put me in the best position to succeed with each
opportunity, providing resume advice, client background, and interview
preparation. During the process, it was refreshing that Christe was tracking me
down with updates whereas with other recruiting firms it is usually the other
way around. I have been with my current employer for four years and could
not be happier. If you are looking for someone who will always work with
your best interests in mind, I suggest reaching out to Christe Lyons as The
Gunther Group. ”
Corporate Counsel Consulting Firm
“In
placing our group with a new firm, my partners and I agree that Art did
a terrific job for us. Art worked closely with us to identify the best
platform to which to move our practices. He understood the dynamics of
working with a group of lawyers, each member with his own interests and
concerns. I recommend Art to other partners (or groups) seeking a
thorough, yet efficient and confidential search. As a co-department
head at my new firm, I look forward to working with the Gunther Group
to find talented attorneys to add to our practice.”
Partner Schiff Hardin & Waite
“A good friend of mine referred me to Art
Gunther. I immediately got the impression that Art had my best interest
in mind. And as I sit here today, I have an enormous amount of
gratitude for Art. I would not be here in a job that I love if it were
not for Art. He pursued my job search with diligence, persistence and a
genuine interest in my well-being. Nothing prevented Art from zealously
pursuing all possible leads for me and keeping on top of my search for
almost six months. I sit here today, in large part, due to his efforts.”
Associate Novack & Macey
“Christe Lyons is the recruiter you will be recommending to
people you know who are looking for a change.
She not only has the integrity, expertise and background to help you
meet your career goals and aspirations, she takes the time to listen and
understand both you and your goals in order to help find the best job
match. Christe is so easy to talk to and
extremely honest and straightforward.
She genuinely has your best interest at heart. Christe went the “extra mile” for me from
start to finish in finding me a job that I love with an amazing company, and I could
not be happier that our paths crossed.
She is a wonderful recruiter and a wonderful person!”
Corporate Counsel Public Company
“My experience with Art taught me that not
all legal recruiters are 'headhunters.' I never had to worry that Art
was steering me to a firm that would provide him with the biggest fee.
Together we found a firm where I enjoy working. When friends of mine
aren't enjoying their work, I insist they stop whining and do something
about it: call Art Gunther.”
Associate Greenberg Traurig, P.C.
“Art, thank
you for the time you put into helping me make a transition. You
made an otherwise stressful process much easier to endure because you
were patient and thoughtful. I appreciate your efforts and your follow
up. Hopefully there will not be a next time but if there is, I
look forward to working with you again!“
