 Kanoff Legal Recruiters - for candidates

Our Commitment to Our Candidates

Making the decision to start with a new firm or to leave a current position, identifying  alternatives, and then going through the decision process when faced with choices can be a daunting experience for even the most experienced among us. I know because I have been there.

That is where a well-connected, honest and reliable recruitment specialist can make all the difference: one who is physically present in Brussels, who really does know the market and is well-placed to anticipate future trends. One who also  knows how to listen to your needs and is able to support and advise  you, step-by-step, through the recruitment process.

As independent recruiters we have no monthly or yearly quotas to fill. Our structure, as well as the manner in which we work is candidate-driven. We are only as good as the candidates we work with. As a result, we recruit only the highest quality candidates. We are no less demanding upon ourselves. We strive, on behalf of our candidates, to provide the very best service possible.

How We Work

Once we have received your CV we begin, where feasible, by scheduling a meeting at our offices to discuss your career plans as well as your prospects in the current market. We make our knowledge available to you by providing information on the Brussels job market in general and disclosing to you the names of  firms with current, relevant  openings. Should you decide to work with us we proceed as follows:  

  • CV review: making suggestions or modifications where appropriate;
  • Market strategy: once this is thought out, we introduce your CV to our client(s) along with introductory remarks. Your CV is always sent on a strictly confidential basis to our personal contacts within each firm;  
  • Arranging and scheduling interviews: as responses to your CV are received, we update you, scheduling interviews where requested by the client(s), and following  up with firms which have not yet responded; 
  • Preparation for interview(s): prior to interview, we meet with you to discuss the interview process and answer any questions which may arise;
  • Post interview: we follow up with our clients and provide valuable feedback with respect to the outcome(s) of the interview(s).  In the event of one or multiple offers, we listen to your concerns and, where requested, assist you in making the determination as to which move would most be in accordance with your career goals.
