To put it lightly, the hiring market is tough right now. How many positions in your firm have been open or left unfilled for quite some time? This is a perfect storm, really. Market activities and demand for legal services are high, but there aren’t enough resources to get work out the door.
Everyday a seat is empty, revenue opportunities and client satisfaction become challenged. This is a unique time and something I haven’t seen in over a decade of recruiting in the legal market. This is good news if you are an attorney exploring a move, as this is a great time to see your value and if another platform might be a better fit.
With the current challenges, it’s always a good idea to revisit best practices to make sure we are putting ourselves in the best position to be successful.
Stop doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result. If you’re going to win the war on talent, you’ve got to step up the offense. Identify the challenges. Analyze what hasn’t worked. Implement a new game plan. Good luck!
