Ideal Talent Group

What does Ideal Talent Group do?

We're a recruiting firm based in Tampa. Legal is our largest practice, where we place associate attorneys, of counsel, and partners at firms from mid-size practices through the AM Law 100, along with in-house legal departments. We also recruit in healthcare, construction, finance, manufacturing, energy, and food and beverage.

Do you work with firms outside Florida?

Yes. We recruit nationwide from our Tampa office, and our attorney network covers 42 states.

How does your fee work?

We work on contingency. There's no cost until you hire someone, and nothing up front. For candidates it's free at every stage, because the hiring firm pays our fee, never the attorney or the professional we place.

How long does a search take?

Most searches close in about five to six weeks, from the first call to a signed offer. On associate roles you'll usually have a vetted shortlist within days, since we already know the attorneys in those markets. If a role is unusual enough to run longer, we'll tell you that before you open the search.

Are conversations confidential?

Yes. For candidates, every conversation is confidential from the first message, and nothing about you reaches a firm without your approval. For firms, we can run a search quietly when a hire needs to stay off the market, including a replacement for someone still in the seat.The Engagement
