GLI - Global Recruiting Network

Since 1986, Grimes Legal, Inc. (GLI) has served its clients on an intense level as one of the legal industry's most successful recruiting consultancies. With hundreds of successful search assignments completed nationally and internationally, offices in Bowling Green, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Portland and Washington, DC, and a client history of repeat business in our portfolio, GLI is recognized nationally as one of the premier recruiters of premium legal and executive talent.

Career and hiring decisions are among the most important choices you will ever make because they affect every qualitative and quantitative aspect of your life and the lives of others. This is equally true for an individual seeking "the" position, a company seeking "the" candidate, or a firm seeking "the" merger.

GLI understands the intricate mechanics of all these scenarios and, more importantly, the dynamics of how to create them for our clients and for individuals. We are a comprehensive resource for selecting, evaluating and matching executive talent with defined business environments.

GLI locates, qualifies and recruits proven performers in diverse areas of specialization. We conduct thorough research into all aspects of a client's management philosophy, corporate culture and the business environment into which the candidate or acquisition must ultimately fit. By understanding the critical organizational aspects that guide each client's business, we strive to achieve the perfect match – for all parties.

In hundreds of successful assignments, the GLI method for brokering personnel matches and mergers has been tested and proven. We invite you to journey through our site and discover why.

HISTORY

Nancy Grimes founded Grimes Legal, Inc. (GLI) in 1986 to provide businesses with unique resources for locating, qualifying and recruiting proven performers in diverse areas of specialization. We achieve this by first working to understand the business needs of our clients. This requires thorough research into nuances of the industries in which our clients flourish, learning the philosophies of management which guide our clients’ business and professional strategies and focusing objectively on their individual cultures.

At GLI, we understand that the work of those candidates we place will have lasting implications for our clients long after we complete our assignments. That’s why we measure our success not just by the number of placements we make, but by the number of successful placements – those who remain with our clients long after we’ve introduced them.

WHY GLI?

Unfailing tenacity in completing our assignments successfully with a sense of urgency…flexibility to act quickly on client needs while reacting to external market factors which influence our searches…pursuing our assignments with honesty, integrity and attention to detail…a passion for total client service; these are the traits which separate GLI from the mainstream.

We work with our clients as an integral team member – an indispensable resource for locating and recruiting the highest echelon of talent available to fill any given position, and as a viable extension of the client’s public relations effort. And always with the goal of constantly redefining the standards by which premium executive recruiting is conducted, without confinements, restrictions or formulas.

THAT IS WHAT MAKES GLI EXCEPTIONAL.

OBJECTIVE: THE PERFECT MATCH

The objective of any search assignment is always the same: to match a client’s specific personnel need with the ideal candidate to fill that position in a mutually beneficial manner for both parties. GLI considers it part of the assignment to overcome any obstacles which separate the parties, whether they are financially or emotionally rooted. For a full year after each successful placement, GLI conducts regular follow-up with both the client and candidate to ensure we have, in fact, performed the assignment successfully.

THE GLI ADVANTAGE

The role of GLI is a varied one requiring diverse skills: researcher, private investigator, industry expert, confidant, negotiator and salesperson. It is the blending of these traits which enables GLI to perform consistently at any level. In all cases, GLI must:

• Understand the client’s goals and objectives, as well as position requirements;
• Analyze thoroughly the environment in which the candidate will be required to function competently;
• Comprehensively research the industry for compatible talent and personality;
• Make confidential contact with viable candidates and qualify them via a series of interviews;
• Evaluate the personality and qualifications of the candidate in relation to the position to be filled;
• Motivate the candidate to make a career change by outlining the benefits they would realize;
• Mediate and assist in negotiating the offer and acceptance;
• Conduct regular follow-up to ensure satisfaction for both sides.
