Legal Recruiting Manager

When Brenda graduated magna cum laude from Bowling Green State University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a specialization in Finance, she fully anticipated a lengthy career of crunching numbers. She joined Owens Corning World Headquarters in Toledo, OH as a Financial Analyst shortly after graduation, and was soon offered a spot on the company’s college recruiting team. It was in that role that she discovered an unexpected love for talent searching and networking, and her newfound desire for creating people connections altered her course. In 2006, Brenda was recruited to join Legal Resource Group as a Legal Executive Recruiter, and spent the next eleven years filling C-level positions for mid-sized and large law firms. She found not only her niche in senior legal administrative recruiting, but also an untapped gift and passion for professional matchmaking.

Brenda’s keen attention to detail, exceptional organizational skills, and personable, honest, no-nonsense nature lend naturally to a track record of successful placements in some of the nation’s best and brightest law firms. Brenda’s successful placements span the C-suite of the legal industry and include Chiefs and Directors in the areas of Business Development, Marketing, Pricing, Technology, Finance, Operations and Business Intake for Am Law 100 and Am Law 200 firms. Her greatest strength, however, is the ability to work well with people, a must-have in forging lasting client-candidate relationships.
