I highly recommend Charles. He really cares about his candidates, is responsive, and goes the extra mile to make sure that the job is a good fit both on a cultural and professional level. I would not be working where I am - sincerely a dream job - if it were not for him. Whether you are a hiring manager or someone looking for a new role, you are in great hands with Charles.

Morris Z, Managing Partner

I've worked with quite a few recruiters over the course of my career and Charles was by far the most professional, motivated, trustworthy and plugged-in recruiter I had the pleasure of working with. Charles was able to land me about a dozen or more interviews with at least a dozen or so of the top law firms in the country, he also coached me through my resume and helped me prepare for each interview. Most importantly, when the offers came, which in itself had much to do with Charles' efforts, he not only took the time to discuss each of my options in depth, but genuinely cared that I was making the right decision for me. I know this because he made suggestions and gave me advice to go to firms that were a better fit for me, but which may have not necessarily provided him with the highest recruitment fees. He genuinely cares about his clients, responds almost immediately every time, calls, texts and makes sure you make the best possible decision for you, your career and your goals.

Heath I, NY Partner

Charles went out of his way to help me find the right law firm ... Charles took the time to understand my practice ... I was impressed by his responsiveness and dedication to helping me find a place that was the right fit both professionally and personally. Charles always put what was best for my needs and goals first while keeping an eye out for opportunities I had not previously considered. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Charles again and encourage any attorney looking for a new role to work with Charles.

My name is Charles Cabrejos...

I started Alta-JD to recruit honestly and vigorously with the full freedom to prioritize my candidates' well-being over everything else. I am fully dedicated to every single one of my attorney candidates, and I can handle any situation that may arise in the recruiting process. I've seen it all before. I have closed close to 100 placements over the past 4 years and placed with all the top firms, including Latham, Skadden, Simpson Thacher, Debevoise, Kirkland, Weil, and more. Additionally, my candidates receive offers from virtually every notable law firm in existence. I have also closed over $1 Million in bonuses for my candidates.
