Kathleen was an incredible partner and guide through my most recent interview process - she really listened and gave me the space to make sure I found the right opportunity rather than rushing to fill a role and move on. Would 100% be my first call for future searches and would recommend to anyone!

 LAURA KILIAN

Head of Legal, Picsart

Kathleen is awesome. She stands out as a fierce champion for attorneys in her recruitment portfolio, skillfully positioning their expertise to secure ideal placements in a competitive market. With Kathleen's strategic guidance and extensive network, attorneys gain access to career-defining opportunities that would remain hidden without her exceptional industry intuition. I strongly recommend working with Kathleen on any job search!

Head of Legal & Compliance, Prefect

Working with Virginia made me enjoy changing jobs (despite some tough logistics) and she was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Making a career move can be a stressful experience under any circumstances, but it is even more difficult when the physical move involves switching coasts! Virginia not only helped me present myself as a candidate in the most favorable light, she also helped me understand the firm, get a sense of what living in Los Angeles would be like, what the interviewers were seeking, and whether the opportunity fit my professional goals (spoiler alert: it has absolutely been a great fit).

With Virginia and Whistler Partners, it was clear that they understood what made my profile and resumé unique, and why I was a good fit for the position they ultimately helped place me in. Rather than pitching me multiple opportunities and focusing on getting me to make a switch, Virginia came to me with a role specifically suited to my experiences while helping me explore and identify other similar jobs. Whistler's knowledge of me as a candidate and why I was a good fit led to a successful hiring and I couldn't be happier that Virginia reached out.

On the one hand, my experience was so good that I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again. On the other hand, they did such a good job placing me that I don't think I'll ever entertain another job search again! Although, if I need to use a recruiting firm to help me hire someone in the future, I know exactly who I will be calling first.

MATTHEW BERNSTEIN

Corp Attorney  at Loeb & Loeb

I've had the privilege of working with Whistler and Kathleen Mon from both sides of the table. During my tenure as Chief of Staff to the General Counsel at Gopuff Kathleen helped me find dynamic tech and regulatory lawyers that were great additions to our team. Kathleen listened (rare in a recruiter these days), helped us build on-point candidate profiles, and then brought amazing candidates to the table. Most importantly, she understood that finding the right culture fit was equally, if not more, important than finding a candidate with the right set of skills. It made the search process easy and effective.

Most recently, I worked with Kathleen as a candidate. In a world of mega recruiting agencies, working with Kathleen on the candidate side was a breath of fresh air. She communicated honestly, was super responsive, and gave me great feedback and advice during the entire process - from resume prep through the interview stages. Kathleen landed me a role I am absolutely thrilled about and it would not have been possible without her. I can't thank her enough and I highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking to take that next step in their career!

NAT FLANDREAU

VP of Legal at Hubble Contacts

I’ve met a lot of recruiters over the years, but very few measure up to Kathleen.  She’s a straight shooter, and it doesn’t hurt that her team has some of the best connections in the industry.  

KENT S.

General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer at Fynn

Kathleen and Virginia have been wonderful to work with, both on the search and ramping us quickly into the legal discipline, market and archetypes. We saw a full panel and got our top choice. They’ve been an outstanding partner.

IAN TIEN

CEO at Mattermost

I've never worked with a talent partner like Kathleen. She has great insights into each candidate with whom she works and represents them incredibly well. We were not sure if we were going to find the right fit for our position but then we met Kathleen. Every candidate she showed us was qualified and the process felt collaborative, not transactional. It was really a pleasure to work with Kathleen and we have recommended her services to portfolio companies and colleagues at other funds and will continue to do so.

DAVID BERG

CFO at Rainfall Ventures

Sean and the Whistler team deeply understand the in-house and law firm markets and how they work together. As we've grown, I've relied on them to help us think through new openings, understand the market and find top talent.

LEE IACOCCA, had he worked in legal recruiting, we're sure

Whistler Partners is an outstanding firm, and they've become the gold standard for tech recruiting both on the law firm side and in-house. They have a deep bench, and they have all  of the same resources (if not more than) the big shops do, but their differentiators are unparalleled relationships and how they make the overall experience to be highly personalized.

SACHIN BANSAL

General Counsel at SecurityScorecard

I spent over 6 months trying to hire the right in-house GC, using different agencies and interviewing dozens of candidates. Then came Kathleen.

She spent a considerable amount of time with me to understand the role, and more importantly to understand our company's culture.

Her very first intro blew the competition out of the water, and I'm happy to say she's starting next week. These guys are snipers!

OMRI DOR

Co-Founder & COO of Obligo

Emily brings a strong network and deep understanding of our priorities. She takes the time to understand the combination of creativity, raw intellect, experience, and niceness we prioritize. She is iterative, efficient, and genuinely invested in building our team. Emily is an absolute pleasure to work with and works hard to achieve our goals.

RACHEL RUBIN

VP, Programs at Roivant Social Ventures

I'd like to thank you so much for your assistance throughout the recruiting process, and for helping us find a great candidate. We're so appreciative of Whistler's support!

LEIGH CHECCHIO

General Counsel at The Trevor Project

Working with the Whistler team was an absolute pleasure. I can’t think of another firm that could have put so many well-qualified candidates together for a single opening.
