They contacted me about a position after I applied. We set up a day to talk on the phone. I called twice. No one picked up. I called a third time, and the agent said that he was too busy driving to talk to me. They're unreliable, and job seekers are better off with Robert Half Legal or any other recruiter. They're just paid a nice commission for every T-14 graduate that they find a position for. Anyone else is better than these sharks who schedule but ignore calls, when it's inconvenient for them. Appointments shouldn't be hard to come by, right?

Yorkson Legal is a great opportunity! Eric is responsive and professional and communicates well. The interview process with Eric and the overall experience of getting on a project was done in a very professional and timely manner. The onboarding staff communicates well and the process runs smoothly.

Initially, Helene reached out to me on LinkedIn with an opportunity that appeared to be a good fit with my skillset and experience. She was right! Helene is friendly and direct in her communication style, which I appreciate. The interview process moved quickly with Yorkson and their client; and, the communications and expectations were clear. Chantel gracefully managed the hiring paperwork, which can be an epic and tedious task :) Thank you to both Helene and Chantel! I am grateful for the opportunity.

What a surprise! Found Yorkson on LinkedIn and submitted my CV. They called me immediately, and I had an interview the next day. Was hired later that week for a salary that was more than I expected and with a top ten global company. Helene and crew are wonderful. Highly recommended.

Andrew Rider of Yorkson Legal was wonderful to work with and I found the recruitment experience very professional. I would highly recommend working with them. I appreciate Andrew's efforts for making sure that I understood what the position entailed and his timely follow up to make sure my first few days went well. I cannot thank him enough for being so kind, encouraging and supportive.

Amrish and the team at Yorkson got me into a position in April 2018 in a quick and efficient manner. They have been helpful along the way and have given swift answers to anything I've had questions about. Yorkson generally makes it easy for their hires to concentrate on the assignment they were brought in for, and Yorkson does a good job with handling any related background stuff in the meantime.

I worked with Sara Kim at Yorkson and she was extremely helpful throughout the entire interviewing process with multiple law firms. She was a great advocate on my behalf during follow-up interviews and helped me prepare for meeting with attorneys and hiring managers. Sara was always responsive to my phone calls and emails and was very accommodating to my needs. I would be happy to recommend her to a friend.

I would and do regularly recommend Yorkson to people.
Look, kiddies - here's the thing about Yorkson and most employment agencies: If you have something to offer that they need, they're all over you. If not, eff you. It's not personal - not when they're treating you nice, and not when they're ghosting you. It's business.
I first came to Yorkson via Diane Amato who was super nice and professional. On my way out, she introduced me to Sara Kim who commenced to giving me a quick once-over before putting her face back down into whatever she was reading and giving a

Some where over the rainbow is where you'll find the supposed jobs that they post. I won't say too much because I only had a skype interview and two emails afterward telling me about their openings and that's it. After reading the other reviews posted here, I'm like, "My God, just who did this agency help?" The answer: one person; based on the reviews. If you ask me, I'd bet a penny that she's got the wrong place.

Terrible place. They are the WORST at running fake ads, on their own site and on Craigslist and Indeed and probably other sites as well. Google some of the text in their ads and see how often it pops up, or save their ads and compare them to ads they run later. If you apply for one of their jobs and Kim or someone else calls you breathlessly to say they want to meet with you right away, don't get your hopes up. It seems that recruiters get little bonuses merely for signing people up these days.

If i could give this place negative stars i would. They are the most unhelpful unprofessional people i've ever seen. Especially Sara Kim. She sends you job descriptions and then never sends your resume out. She's dirty and unprofessional. Don't bother. How these people are in business i have NO clue.

USELESS!!!! I have been signed up with Yorkson Legal for over six years now - and have not received one single job from them. I would receive emails from Sara Kim daily about opportunities and after responding and even calling her, I would not receive a response back. I have fifteen years experience as a Paralegal. The one positive review from Caitlin is over six years old and while it states that the personnel were engaging and attentive the real question is- did they get her a job?

Yorkson Legal has been one of the most positive experiences that I have had with a staffing agency since I moved to New York almost a year ago. All of the agents I interacted with were both engaging and attentive, and the dedicated support and feedback that they provided me was essential to my job search. If you're looking for personalized service with attention to your personal needs and strengths this is the place to go.
