Expert advice on hiring Lawyers

These signals will help you decide whether a candidate is suitable for the job:

• If recruiters do not hire lawyers based on their individual strengths and weaknesses, they may not be able to attract the most promising candidates
• If recruiters focus too much on one aspect of a candidate, they may not be able to adequately focus on another, potentially important characteristic
• If recruiters focus too much on the most logical qualities in a candidate, they may not be able to accurately identify a candidate who, while they may show all the important qualities on paper, may not be able to perform efficiently under pressure
• If recruiters only focus on established graduates who have a strong work history and work ethic, they may not be able to discover a lawyer who does not have the advantage of being taught by great professors, but who has a keen instinct for all other aspects of the job
• If Recruiters alter the historical track record of applicant distribution, it may have a positive impact on the company in the future, but it will have a little positive impact on the current satisfaction of the professionals at the firm.
