I had the pleasure of working with Leah during my recent job search, and I can say without hesitation that she is exactly the kind of recruiter you hope to find. From the very first conversation, Leah made it clear that she was in my corner. She kept me informed at every stage of the process. Notably absent from our time together: Me expending energy waiting by the phone and chasing down updates. She was consistently responsive and reliable, which matters more than people realize when you're a candidate navigating the uncertainty of a job search. Especially these days where ghosting has become the norm. Leah brought me a genuinely exciting opportunity with a large firm of real prestige and scale. When the initial offer came in below where I needed it to be, she didn't just pass it along and call it done she went to bat for me. She advocated for my experience and the value I was bringing to the table, and she negotiated us to a number I was genuinely happy to sign. Beyond her professionalism, Leah is warm, personable, and easy to talk to. She made what can be a stressful process feel collaborative and human and I am really grateful to her for bringing that energy to the table. If you're a candidate looking for a recruiter who will treat you as a person and not just a placement, I can't recommend Leah highly enough. 10/10 experience and I would happily work with her again.

I relocated to Atlanta being fairly junior level in the legal field, but I knew what area of law I wanted to pursue. Before I found Leah at Platinum Staffing, several legal recruiting agencies/recruiters tried to push me to interview for positions I wasn't interested in. Leah was the opposite of that; we had an open and honest dialogue about my career goals and she respected my preferences. It was such a relief to work with a recruiter who really listened to my needs for my next step in my career. I went on several interviews with Leah's clients and each position appealed to me in different aspects. Leah took the time to discuss the pros/cons to each position before I interviewed and, following my interviews. Her insight was objective and very valuable to me in my decision making process. I have been with my current firm for over 5 years now and couldn't be happier. I still keep in touch with Leah and refer friends/colleagues to her; she is truly a rare find in the legal recruiting industry, for both the candidates and her clients. read more

I have known and worked with Leah at Platinum Staffing for almost 20 years. She is not only very specialized in her field of legal recruiting, she genuinely cares about the candidates she represents and takes the time to understand their needs; both professionally and personally. I find it dismaying to see this one negative review by Holly W since obviously, there are many other very positive reviews posted about Platinum Staffing and the candidates' experiences with Leah. I've referred many colleagues to Leah over the years and, all have been pleased with her work and representation. She has a niche in that her services are about quality, not quantity with placements; she takes the time to ensure the candidate is completely comfortable throughout the process of interviewing and, negotiating of the actual job offer. I would encourage anyone who would like to see accurate reviews about Leah Thompson at Platinum Staffing to review the recommendations on her LinkedIn profile; https://www.linkedin.com/in/leah-thompson-58a39a4a/ read more

As a senior Legal Assistant, I have worked with many legal recruiters and, not always had the best experience. Leah was on top of everything for me throughout the process and kept me up to date continuously while I was interviewing with her clients; that is not the norm for most recruiters and you are usually left wondering at times about if you got an interview and, the feedback once you have interviewed. She is very considerate to her candidates and ensures she gets answers needed from her clients not just following your resume submission, but once you've interviewed as well. I found this type of communication and trust to really put me at ease during my job search. I am now with a firm that is the perfect fit for me. The responsibilities of the position are within my skillset and, it's also allowing me to expand my skillset. I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Leah as a well qualified Legal Recruiter to both candidates looking for a new position and, clients looking to hire. read more

I highly recommend Leah. She is an expert in her field. I recently moved to Georgia and was working at a law firm, but I wanted an opportunity that I was passionate about and offered more than what I currently had. A friend introduced me to Leah and that changed my life. Leah was extremely passionate, assertive, patient, and extremely professional when it came to getting me placed with the right firm. She went over and beyond and fought for the best for me and would not let me settle! She mentored me, coached me, guided me, and showed me how to not settle and go after exactly what I want. She is a Career Coach as well! I appreciate her and I value our relationship. She is a woman that you always want to stay connected with. Because of her passion, dedication, consistency, mentorship, and relentlessness, I was offered a position with my dream job! Leah - thank you so very much for everything that you have done! You are truly the Best!!!! Forever grateful!!! Love her! read more

I cannot recommend Leah Thompson highly enough. Four years ago, she placed me in a role that has exceeded every expectation I had--not just professionally, but personally. What could have been "just another job" became a cornerstone chapter of my career, and that doesn't happen by accident. Leah has an exceptional ability to truly see people--not just their resumes, but their potential. She listened carefully, asked the right questions, and aligned me with an opportunity that matched both my skill set and long-term vision. That level of intuition, discernment, and care is rare in recruiting. What sets Leah apart is her integrity and follow-through. She didn't disappear after the placement--she remained invested in my success. That tells you everything you need to know about how she operates: she's not transactional; she's transformational. If you're working with Leah, you're in expert hands. She doesn't just place people--she changes trajectories read more

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience working with Leah at Platinum Staffing. I am a senior litigation paralegal and, have always held very demanding positions. At the time Leah and I started working together, I was going through a very difficult phase with a negative working environment as well as a complicated family situation. Leah took the time and patience to work with me despite our continuous roadblocks that came up during my job search process. She remained in touch with me actively and, continued to encourage me despite those challenges. Leah is excellent at what she does as a legal recruiter but more importantly, treats you as the candidate as a person, not just the opportunity to make a commission by placing you. She's wonderful and I highly recommend her to anyone taking on the daunting task of a job search, especially given the state of our nation with COVD. Thanks for all you did for me Leah! read more

I cannot recommend Leah at Platinum Staffing strongly enough; she is wonderful. Most recruiters don't give you one on one attention and, you get calls from recruiters with the agency you've never even met. Leah has built her business with such expertise that it's well known how she treats candidates. This is why I was referred to her by a colleague; it was the best move of my legal career to work with Leah and allow her to find the perfect position for me based on the phase I was in for my career. Leah is well connected in the legal field and has strong relationships with most of the top HR professionals with very reputable firms. She placed me in my current position and I couldn't be happier. If you're looking for new opportunities in the legal field, you are in very good hands with Leah representing you and, your preferences for your next career move. read more

Leah is the best legal recruiter I've worked with; she helped me transition from a small firm to a much larger international firm. She didn't just get me the interview, she guided me through the entire process and coached me to set me up for success. I've never had a recruiter spend that much time and energy to help me move forward in my career. It's dismaying to me to see this negative review and in my opinion, it seems more like a personal issue than professional. I've gone through the 13 other positive reviews and I am posting in full support of those. Leah is great at what she does on a professional basis, but also just a kind person who goes above and beyond to make sure her candidates are comfortable throughout the interview and job placement process. I cannot recommend her and her agency highly enough. read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience working with Leah at Platinum Staffing; she is phenomenal at what she does. As a career paralegal, I've had many bad experiences with legal recruiters and Leah redeemed my faith in the industry. She took the time to get to know me professionally and personally and took everything in my life into account (not just my professional job history) into experience when presenting me with opportunities she had with her clients. I have been in my current position for close to 10 years; that alone says she knows how to find the exact fit for your professional goals as well as what will work well for you to have work/life balance. She's great and I will continue to refer my professional contacts to her. Thanks Leah for all of the assistance over the years! read more

I first met Leah when I was laid off from my legal job many years ago. A friend of mine gave me her number and I got in touch with her right away. After an initial call to determine what I was looking for, she went right to work to find me a new job. Within a week, she placed me in a new position which lasted for 10+ years. With her unmatched experience in recruiting the right people for the right jobs, and her impeccable timing, she is truly a miracle worker! She deeply cares for her clients, and operates with a powerful combination of integrity, experience, and dedication. I would not be where I am today without her. And I am not alone - I know several people who found their dream jobs with Leah, and I send all my job-seeking friends to her without hesitation. She is truly the best! read more

I was so discouraged after registering with several staffing agencies before I started working with Leah Thompson at Platinum Staffing, Inc. My job search was specific in that I was heading into retirement and only wanted a part time position close to home. Within days of Leah interviewing me, she lined up an interview with her client, a lovely law firm with a feasible commute for me from home. It was the exact fit I needed and I received a job offer that day. I cannot thank Leah enough for her understanding and consideration of my needs at this phase in my life/career and, I couldn't have asked for a better professional fit! If you want to be really listened too by your recruiter, Leah is exactly who you ought to work with in Atlanta. :-) read more

I have worked with Leah for over 10 years. She has placed me at some excellent firms, including the one I'm at now. Definitely the best firm I've ever worked for! Leah has always been professional and honest. She has also been very kind and supportive. I went through some difficult times with my brother fighting for his life in a hospital during my start at a 2 new jobs, at 2 separate firms, 5 years apart, and she was very understanding. I consider her a friend now. I would highly recommend her to anyone I know! And I have recommended her. She is very good at her job and knows people in the legal field not only professionally, but personally. She cares about her clients and the lawyers she works with. Leah is an excellent recruiter! read more

I have known Leah for a little over 11 years. She assisted me when I was relocating to Atlanta from as smaller town in Georgia. She worked diligently in getting me multiple interviews at several mid-size and large law firms. Leah placed me with the firm I am at now and have been with for 11 years. She worked very hard in helping me find the right place and I have been completely satisfied. She is honest and knows the industry. Leah was so encouraging and believed in me when I was unsure of the move I was making. She has stayed in touch with me all these years and continues to check in on me from time to time. I have recommended several people to her over the years without hesitation. Leah is one of the best! read more

If I could give Leah at Platinum Staffing 10 stars, I would. I was new to Atlanta and she guided me through the process of interviewing effectively in the Atlanta legal market seamlessly. I couldn't believe the one on one attention I was provided by her in comparison to the other recruiting agencies I'd worked with in the Atlanta area. It's clear Leah cares about her candidates as people and doesn't just view them as a money maker. She listened carefully to my priorities for my career and made sure to only send me on interviews for positions that were in line with those priorities. I've been with my current firm for 5 years and couldn't be happier. Thank you Leah! read more

I couldn't have been happier with Leah's assistance during my job search. I'd already been in touch with several other agencies in Atlanta by the time I was in touch with Leah. She immediately produced interviews for me for positions that were totally line with my preferences for the next step in my career. By week's end, I had 3 job offers and Leah was extremely helpful with discussing all of the options to determine which would be the best fit for me long term. 8 years later and I'm still employed with the same firm and, received several promotions. Leah is a wonderful recruiter to work in addition to being very personable throughout the process! :-) read more

Platinum Staffing has a long term, excellent reputation in matching companies and candidates for professional positions. I was fortunate enough to be found by Leah Thompson and she directed me to my last 10 year position. I was not initially the firm's first choice of candidates; however, Leah saw my potential and pursued the position when it became available a few months later. I not only was reconsidered and hired, but also enjoyed an unexpected, fun, exciting and successful higher position when I was promoted a few, years later. Thank You Platinum Staffing. I would never, ever obtained that position without your wise and experienced insight. read more

If you are seeking employment and are looking for an excellent recruiter, I cannot recommend Leah Thompson at Platinum Staffing, Inc. enough. I have never had a more positive experience working with a recruiter than with Leah. After taking a short break in my career, Leah knew I was "new" to the 2024 job market. Leah took her time to review my resume, make suggestions, and coach me in the interview process. She found an open position in my field, presented me, and landed me an interview. What sets Leah apart from other recruiters is her promptness in getting back to you the next day. She is down to earth and cares about you and your career. read more

I worked with Leah to start my career in the legal field. Other agencies said they really couldn't help me because of my lack of experience. Because Leah has great relationships with the law firms in Atlanta, she was able to produce interviews for me for entry level positions with three firms. One wasn't willing to pay an agency to fill the position and, she still referred me to the firm and recommended they interview me. To this day, I credit Leah's hard work and advice throughout my job search for where I am today; a well experienced litigation paralegal with a firm ranked in the top 5 law firms on a global level. Thanks, Leah! read more
