INSPIRING WORDS FROM STEVE JOBS:

“… You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you got to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.” – Stanford University commencement address, June 2005.

 ”That’s been one of my mantras – focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.” – Business Week, 1998.

“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost anything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. – Stanford University commencement address, June 2005.

Carlos Riaz is the Project Coordinator for the New York, NY market. After graduating college with a degree in Human Resource Management, Carlos spent 4 years working in the HR department of a large law firm in New York. During his tenure in human resources, Carlos discovered his favorite aspect of the position was his interaction with the attorneys. His “people skills” and his love for the legal arena were 2 characteristics that drew Carlos to legal recruiting. His desire to work with a top-notch, well-respected recruiting firm where he would have an opportunity to assist attorneys in reaching their career goals led him to GLI.

Carlos’ human resource background and legal firm experience assist him in coaching lawyers throughout their position search process. Carlos takes a personal interest in helping each candidate determine what their “perfect legal firm job” is and then strive to locate that opportunity. “Every candidate’s “dream job” is different, so it is imperative that I listen intently to get a full understanding of what he/she is looking for.

Carlos was attracted to GLI because of the firm’s principled and progressive methodology. “I remain impressed by the level of personal attention GLI recruiters gives their candidates. Those attorneys genuinely have representatives working on their behalf in the marketplace; people going the extra mile to locate opportunities that not just met but exceeded their expectations each and every time. THAT’S recruiting at its best”.

Carlos is an avid arts buff, so when he’s not working with candidates, you can usually find him checking out the newest exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the latest opera at the Metropolitan Opera, an interest he shares with Maria, his wife of 7 years. Carlos and Maria also stay very busy with their twin 3-year-old sons, Javier and Miguel.

Nancy Grimes and the GLI team are good to work with. My first experience with GLI was for one of our most difficult searches. Nancy took a significant amount of time working with both the senior partner in charge and the recruiting department to get a thorough understanding of what we were looking for and did a bang-up career opportunity selling the firm to prospective candidates. With her intense enthusiasm and thorough marketing plan, Nancy produced several viable candidates who met all the items on our “wish list”. That was a very rare occurrence. She’s truly unmatched in her knowledge of the industry and the Philadelphia legal market and is extremely diligent and responsive. We’ll definitely work with Nancy to fill future openings, especially the difficult ones!

“My experience with Nancy Grimes and GLI has been pivotal to the future of my legal career. Nancy is a consummate professional who shoots it “straight-from-the-hip”. I was impressed by her knowledge of the market. One of the things I most admired about Nancy is that she easily balanced the sometimes competing interests of providing her client outstanding representation and also going to bat for me. I was impressed with her friendly and personable approach. Nancy wasn’t out just to fill another job order. During our initial conversation, we discussed at length my goals and what I was looking for in a new opportunity. Nancy wanted to know what I liked about my current situation as well as what I didn’t like. She need to know me, not just my practice. She said this made it much easier to match my practice and my personality with a like-minded firm whose opportunity matched my experience and raised the odds of our “marriage” lasting. During the interview process, Nancy offered extremely beneficial counsel before the interviews and constructive insight after them to insure I made the best choice for my career. I’ve worked with other headhunters - working with GLI was a totally different experience; like bologna and filet mignon…there is no comparison!!”
