Friedman Williams

Things are changing! 📢 We started Grant & Maxie as a standalone subsidiary of Friedman Williams, to focus purely on legal search. We’ve enjoyed success in finding the perfect legal roles for candidates and want to ensure that we can meet business demand. We want to be positive that our clients always have access to our team, our business and a great pool of top-tier talent. So, that being said, Friedman Williams will merge in Grant & Maxie and its employees will join the wider team to sit across all disciplines. A bigger team, for bigger and better results. 🚀 Friedman Williams: for all your recruitment needs. #legalrecruitment #recruitment

You can tell a lot about someone by their digital presence 👀   Some people are not smart about social media - even if they’re the best fit for a role, if a quick search brings up unsavoury content, it’s likely they’re not getting the job.   On the other hand, if a candidate has absolutely no digital footprint at all, that can also be a concern.   In our opinion, it’s about striking the right balance.   But some people just like to be private and stay offline, don’t they?   What do you think?

Another great milestone to share !!

Summer holidays are over and most of our team has had some time away, and enjoyed a little rest an relaxation 🌴   But none of our clients or candidates have even noticed.   At Friedman Williams, we pride ourselves on being: - Responsive - Available - Prompt We know that our clients and candidates aren’t always available to get things moving during the traditional 9-5.   That’s why, whether it’s the weekend or a holiday, someone will always be there for you.   If you’re looking for a recruitment partner that is always at the end of the phone, get in touch with us today!   https://lnkd.in/e35WPAMC 

The team at Friedman Williams aren’t just phonecall recruiters.   We are also on the ground and in the field…   Starting today and over the next few weeks, me and the team will be attending some great conferences for the Legal Marketing Association in: > Charlotte, LMA Southeast Region > Boston, LMA Northeast Region > Washington DC, LMA Mid-Atlantic Region > Chicago, LMA Midwest Region > Las Vegas, Techwest x LMA Southwest Region   And Friedman Williams is also a proud sponsor of these all!   If there’s anything I’ve learned over the last few years, it’s that people want to make connections. They want to meet the people they’re working with and surround themselves with likeminded people.   In my opinion, there’s no better way to do business and build those personal and professional connections than being in the room.   Do you agree? Will I be seeing you at one of these events? #LMA #LMASE24 #LMANE24 #LMAMidAtlantic #LMAMidwest #LMASW #LegalMarketing

So appreciative of the kind words and always here to support the Legal Marketing Association members in anyway we can.

High quality vs cheaper, mediocre talent.   It’s a no-brainer, right? 🤔   You’d think so, but there are so many times I’ve seen clients seeking the “perfect” candidate on under market salaries.   Hiring mediocre talent is a great way to “barely” stay above water while trying to keep consistency within a role.   But you’re never going to get the superstar who’ll go above and beyond.   We’ll always listen to what our clients want.    But we’ll also encourage them to speak with a ‘wild card or out of the box” candidate.   A little more expensive, a little more qualified.   Often, maybe even 8 out of 10 times, that candidate is hired and clients experience much more:   ➖ Retention ➖ Satisfaction   When something is cheaper in the short-term, it can end up costing you more in the long-term.   Let us save you time and money in the long run.

We know we’re not the only recruitment firm out there...   But our clients choose to work with us because we’re not like other agencies ↓   We pride ourselves on our:   → Follow-up → Professionalism → Commitment to success → Understanding of what our client needs → Ability to consult our clients on the current market   Not every recruitment agency has all five.   Our way of working means you’re never left in the dark and our commitment to you is finding your star candidate, whatever it takes.    Make sure your hiring process is as tight as it can be.   Are you open to letting us help? 🤔 Get in touch: https://lnkd.in/ec_Rug5G

Here’s a hiring tip for you 👇🏼   Don’t settle for the first candidate you meet…even if you think they’re great.   Even when you think the first candidate you interview checks all the boxes, many times it’s worth meeting more.   You may not realize it, but you could be feeling the pressure to hire. We are always strong in telling our clients to slow down to avoid a bad hire.   We don’t want to see you settle.    Let the process win out over rushing - consider a few people.   If that first person still hits the mark, great.   But don’t focus so hard on getting the hire off your plate that you make the wrong decision.   There’s always time to see just one more person. #recruitment #legalrecruitment #legal
