Testimonials about B. Simone Green
Candidate Testimonials
“I met Simone Green several years ago at an Illinois Paralegal Association (IPA) function. After spending only a few moments with Simone, I knew right away that when I did decide to seek employment opportunities, I would be contacting her for assistance. While I had not yet taken advantage of Simone’s undeniable skills as a legal recruiter, I had so much confidence in her ability and expertise that I have referred many of my colleagues to use her services. I can honestly say that everyone I have referred to her has been thoroughly satisfied with her level of professionalism and the manner in which she has represented each of them, taking special care to understand the needs of the candidate while also meeting the requirements of her clients. I found that Simone works extremely hard to make sure she finds the right fit for the candidate. Having spent several years in my former position, leaving was a difficult decision. But when the time came, I entrusted Simone to find the right job for me. And she did!!! Simone was understanding and compassionate and helped me through the transition. Without question, I highly recommend Simone Green of CLS Legal Staffing.”

“I had a two-fold challenge when I first spoke with Simone Green: 1) I was moving back to Chicago, and 2) we were in a recession. Simone listened to my concerns and gave me straight answers. She understood the type of firm I was looking to join and the career I wanted to build. Using her connections, Simone matched me with a firm and a job that exceeded my expectations.”

“Graduating in May 2001, my outlook on finding employment in the legal field was bleak due to the economy. Fortunately I was referred to CLS Legal Staffing and guided by Simone Green. From our initial introduction, Simone was welcoming and forthright. Her sincere candidness was refreshing. As searching for a means of employment, one often encounters evasive tactics. Simone was readily available to answer any questions which I had. She was able to critically evaluate my personal and professional goals and point me in the right direction. My current position is due in part to Simone Green’s honesty, experience, and vast knowledge of the Chicago legal market.”

“I recently started working with CLS Legal Staffing as we had a need to hire a paralegal and our current methods of recruiting were not meeting our needs. Simone at CLS assisted us with the search and we ended up hiring one of the candidates they presented to us. Since then, we are now using them for two additional searches. CLS was efficient in their search and presented quality candidates.”
