The mind readers at Above the Bar connected me with the job I wanted, even though I was not searching and had not told... anyone what I really wanted. Also, Matthew Pond was a joy to work with through the entire process. He guided me along every step, was informative, diligent, and responsive. Let Above the Bar help you find your match.read more

The First Two Candidates - Both Winners. They Both Fit My Needs and Were Hired. Matthew Pond took the time to have a... detailed and substantive conversation not only about my current needs but also about my firm's historic reality and future vision. With that he promptly found me candidates that were perfect!. His Competition Have Barely Found Me Any Candidates - Let Alone Perfect Matches!read more

I felt more comfortable working with Matthew than any other recruiter in the past. He was great at listening to what I was looking for and trying to find a realistic and favorable fit. Great guy.

Taylor is very smart, funny, personable, and overall a great representative. I was always impressed at Taylor’s responsiveness.

I strongly believe that Taylor is well-positioned to guide the next generation of lawyers along their career paths.

Working with Matthew was a wonderful experience. I greatly appreciated his attention to detail throughout the process, not just in his review of and revisions to my cover letter and resume, but in his help with preparing me for interviews. On top of all the truly valuable substantive assistance, Matthew followed up in ways that put him above and beyond any other recruiters, including checking in during and after each step of the process and congratulating me after my first day at the new job. With the time and care that Matthew puts in, it feels as if you are his only (or most important!) client.
