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

Interviewing? A word of warning here Just because someone is good at interviewing doesn’t make them a great candidate for the role. It can be that candidates appear good due to having high charisma or have done a lot of interviews. Regardless of the camaraderie, focus on them hitting the criteria you need of experience and being able to articulate what they have done, rather than how well they “come across”. The reason I say this is that I have hired prior, people who come across well and because of that I have not drilled into the details as they do incredibly well in being passionate and avoiding the details. Unfortunately, I have seen many a #privateequity firm do the same usually, I hear, that we had a perfect candidate who came across so well and talked the talk but couldn’t walk the walk. Do not get me wrong, executive search firms getting this wrong and then firms turning to Raw Selection to fix it and do it correctly has won me many a private equity firm, but learn from their mistakes and not your own. #privateequity #hiring

So we all know it's important for law firms to gauge how well a candidate fits their firm. But on the flip side, do I frequently get feedback from candidates that a law firm hasn't necessarily presented its best self in an interview setting?
 Answer:
 From time to time, yes! 🤔 Here’s how some top firms are ensuring they attract the best talent: 1️⃣ Showcase culture - Highlight your firm's culture and values clearly during the interview. 2️⃣ Engage authentically - Ensure interviewers engage with candidates in a genuine and approachable manner. 3️⃣ Offer transparency - Provide clear insights into career progression and work-life balance. 4️⃣ Mindful interaction - Train interviewers to be mindful of their interaction style, ensuring they don’t unintentionally deter top talent.

The bar is very low for recruiters (fortunately or unfortunately) Just last week, we had a client shift their business to us... Because another previous firm was late in starting a video call for an interview. Yes, late to starting their own client / candidate's interview! It left such a sour taste with the client. (rightfully so) Now -- the bar is low, too low in fact, in the recruitment world. This is both our advantage and our Achilles' heel. It allows us to exceed expectations effortlessly, but winning trust upfront is a game of patience and persistence. In our first candidate interview with them, were 5 minutes early. It's baffling how the tiniest things can make the biggest difference. It's not always about the grand gestures, the impressive presentations, or the long list of credentials. Sometimes, it's just about showing up. On time, every time. Raise the recruiting standard! #recruiting #headhunter #healthcare #manufacturing

Good luck to my candidate interviewing at a TOP 5 firm today. This candidate initially reached out to me because she wanted to relocate but was not confident about her options in a new market. We were able to pinpoint exactly what she was looking for in a new position, and landed her three interviews at top firms within one week. Whether you are looking to relocate to a new market, or just move to a new firm, I can help you create a targeted approach to your job search. Let's connect! #legalrecruiting #lawfirmjobs #recruiting
