Darnell Shuart spent 8 years at one of New Orleans’ largest law firms as a paralegal before switching careers and utilizing her legal experience with two national and international staffing companies. She founded Shuart & Associates in 1989 as one of the few search firms in the region devoted strictly to legal placements. Under her leadership, and with the help of several key recruiters over the years, the company expanded to offer temporary staffing, an attorney search division, and an eDiscovery project division. Darnell has been an active member of the National Association of Legal Search Consultants since 1993 and served on its Board of Directors. Over the years she has placed thousands of talented candidates in various direct hire and contract positions throughout the Gulf South. Many of her clients consider her a trusted advisor in guiding their careers and for firm hiring strategies. In addition to her recruiting career, Darnell is a 400-hour certified yoga teacher and Reiki Master. “I am truly humbled when I look back, and excited as I look forward.”
