Mindy Baggish

Mindy is a former AmLaw 100 attorney who has a long history of counseling attorneys. She began her legal recruiting career in the 90s at a boutique recruiting firm and later served as the Director of Career Services at UC Davis School of Law for nearly a decade. Since leaving academia, Swan Legal Search has been lucky to benefit from Mindy's dedication, integrity and enthusiasm for several years now.

Mindy firmly believes that everyone should be happy where they work. She has dedicated her career to ensuring candidates find the right fit through individual recruiting. She takes the time to learn about her candidates as individuals, even outside of their careers — frequently creating virtual bonds with their pets and families. Doing this helps Mindy get to know what makes candidates tick. Using these insights, Mindy develops an individual plan for each candidate, which opens doors and encourages them to explore new opportunities.

Mindy also believes in doing what it takes to prepare candidates for the search process. She provides them with the tools necessary to succeed.

When Mindy isn't working to place candidates, she spends her time volunteering at animal shelters working with dogs. Among her favorite animal welfare organizations is Best Friends Animal Society. Every year, for her birthday and winter holiday break, she and her partner make a pilgrimage to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah to volunteer in Dogtown. In addition to animal philanthropic work, Mindy is also involved with Lambda Legal, an LGBTQ advocacy organization.
