Attorneys · Partners · In-house Counsel
We place attorneys and legal professionals with law firms and companies worth working for, one well-made match at a time.
What we do
We place attorneys and legal professionals across the country, from lateral associates to in-house counsel, and we sweat the details the big search firms skip.
We place attorneys coast to coast, with real knowledge of practice areas, markets, and salary bands, and the senior-recruiter attention the big search firms drop.
Every candidate gets a real conversation, not a keyword scan. Every employer gets a shortlist we'd stake our name on, never a stack of maybes.
We measure success in placements that stick. If a match isn't right for both sides, it doesn't happen. That's how a small firm earns repeat clients.

Who we are
Northside Recruiting was founded in 2025 on a simple observation: the best hires happen through people who actually know the work and take the time to know you.
We’re a small team of legal recruiters based in Chicago’s Northside, placing attorneys and legal professionals with law firms and companies across the country. We keep our client list short on purpose, so every search gets senior attention.
How it works
Every search starts by understanding what you actually want — the role, the team, the trade-offs — not just matching keywords on a résumé.
Employers get a focused slate of genuinely vetted candidates. Candidates only hear about roles that truly fit. No spray-and-pray in either direction.
We handle the awkward parts — scheduling, feedback, offers — and check in after you start. A placement only counts if it lasts.
Whether you’re hunting for your next role or your next hire, it starts with a conversation.
