For Our Candidates
Thank you for considering Oak Ridge Legal Search! It is our privilege and honor to assist our candidates reach their career goals, and appreciate you considering our agency to guide you through the recruitment process.
If you select Oak Ridge Legal Search, we will begin by asking for your resume and some additional documentation so we can evaluate your materials and discuss your goals with you. After an initial consultation, we will begin searching for positions that best suit your interests. Our recruiting process is completely confidential so any information you share with us, including your application materials, are strictly between us until you give your permission to disclose. In addition, you are under no obligation to work with us and can sever the work relationship at any time. As a candidate, you will not pay us anything for our placement services.
Why Choose Oak Ridge Legal Search?
What makes us different from all of the other agencies out there? Put it simply, we know what internal firm recruiting professionals look for, because our founder served that role for over 10 years. We know the common mistakes candidates and agencies make in submitting application materials for positions. We understand the frustrations legal recruiting departments face when reviewing applicant materials that are missing crucial pieces of information, aren’t relevant for the positions for which they are submitted, or are working with agencies that don’t seem to know or understand the basic concepts required to advocate for their candidates. We know what to look for, and how to best position your application so that it is seriously considered.
We endeavor to formulate close working relationships with our candidates. We work best when there is an open exchange of information between the candidate and our agency. While the market is such that we cannot guarantee we will find your dream job, we will be honest and forthright about our efforts, and the feedback we receive. If we are not able to work with you for any reason, we will tell you as soon as we are made aware of any potential areas of concern. We know there are many options out there, and although we will not ask for you to work with us exclusively, we will have a greater chance of success if we are your one and only agency.

Yakov, Litigation Attorney
"Lisa is one of the most thoughtful recruiters I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She is so knowledgeable about the what a job search looks like to an attorney candidate and how stressful it can be. She NEVER sent my information out without confirming with me first (and I've had many recruiters do this without permission). She truly cares about her candidates and advocating for them. Anyone would be lucky to work with Lisa!"
Laurel, Trusts & Estates Attorney
"I cannot say enough good things about Lisa.
During the course of my job search, I met about 40 recruiters, and in my personal opinion, Lisa is right up at the top. She is highly professional, extremely knowledgeable about the legal market and empathetic. I met Lisa when I applied for a litigation position at an Am Law 200 firm. She thoroughly screened me in an hour long virtual interview and we developed a good rapport. After which, I felt she was definitely someone I could work with, and she accepted me as a candidate.
In this tough market, she advocated strongly on my behalf to firms she believed I might be a good fit for. I think she truly believes in her candidates. But Lisa is not just about the candidate. She wants to make placements that are equally beneficial to the firms for which she works.
I could go on, but it’s for these reasons that I wholeheartedly recommend her to any candidate or firm in the market."
Andrew, Litigation Attorney
"I had the privilege of working with Lisa Vooys during my job search this year, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Lisa is an exceptionally loyal and hardworking recruiter who goes above and beyond to ensure her candidates are supported at every step of the process. From the very first conversation, Lisa made it clear that she was genuinely invested in my success. She took the time to understand my skills, career goals, and preferences, and she worked tirelessly to find opportunities that aligned with them. Throughout the process, her kindness and empathy stood out—she was always available to offer encouragement, advice, and insight, even during the most challenging moments. What truly sets Lisa apart is her unwavering advocacy. She made me feel seen and valued as a candidate, and she consistently championed my abilities to potential employers. Her efforts gave me the confidence I needed to navigate the job market and
ultimately land a role that I’m excited about. If you’re looking for a recruiter who is not only professional and diligent but also genuinely cares about the people she works with, I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa Vooys. She is a true partner in every sense of the word."
