Shelley Logan joined the Kinney team in Dallas to spearhead the expansion of our recruiting and staffing services to include paralegals, legal secretaries, office administrators and other legal professionals.
In the past, clients have requested our help in filling these positions, and we were able to accommodate such needs on a one-off basis. However, the continuously growing legal job market both in Texas and throughout the United States has resulted in the need for a dedicated professional staffing division within Kinney Recruiting.
We have been very fortunate to recruit Shelley away from Southwest Airlines, where she served in a wide array of positions for 12 years. Since joining as the head of our professional staff division, Shelley has been inundated with jobs from around the state and has been very busy sourcing high quality candidates for our clients. We are now in a position to assist with virtually any job opening within a corporate legal group or law firm, and our clients are happy to have one source for all their staffing needs. The new division will provide the same high level of service and market knowledge that Kinney Recruiting is known for in its attorney recruitment practice.
If you are a candidate or client, we would be happy to discuss our professional legal staff recruiting services at any time. Please email Shelley to set up a call and learn more about what we can do for you!
