About Blackstone
A search firm built on judgment and trust.
We founded Blackstone Recruiting to bring a more thoughtful approach to legal hiring — fewer, better introductions and relationships that last well beyond a single placement.
Who We Are
Our story
Blackstone Recruiting was founded on a simple belief: the hires that shape an organization deserve more than a database search and a stack of résumés. Alex started the firm to offer something more personal — a recruiter who takes the time to understand both the role and the people, and who stays involved long after an offer is signed.
Blackstone Recruiting focuses entirely on the legal profession, where hiring decisions carry outsized consequences for firms, legal departments and the clients they serve. The right attorney is rarely the one who answers a job posting. Finding them takes relationships, market knowledge and the patience to assess candidates properly.
We work with a deliberately limited number of clients at a time so that every search gets senior attention from start to finish. Our measure of success is simple: placements that are still thriving years later.
As a fully remote firm, we work with clients and candidates across the United States, meeting people where they are rather than where our office happens to be.
What We Stand For
The principles behind every search.
Discretion
We protect the confidentiality of clients and candidates alike, without exception.
Candor
We tell clients and candidates what we actually think, even when it isn't what they hoped to hear.
Rigor
We do the work: thorough interviews, real reference checks and careful assessment.
Partnership
We measure ourselves by long-term outcomes, not by the number of résumés we send.

Leadership
The people who will run your search.
