Are you a law firm owner who is looking to hire for their firm? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer podcast, Tyson delves into the challenges of hiring in law firms, inspired by a listener submission from Ryan Webber. 

Hiring within law firms is a very important aspect to ensuring a firm is successful. Relying on job boards, like LinkedIn, is not a lucrative way to hire talent. Law firms need to focus on proactive hiring to find suitable employees. Tyson provides the example of networking as a great way to hire. Former employees will often provide great recommendations for who they think would be great fits for a firm.

Proactive hiring also involves firms marketing themselves to prospective lawyers. You need to tell candidates why you are the best firm to work for and why they will be successful. Sometimes this involves investing in marketing campaigns or meeting the prospective candidate where they are at. Most recruiters don’t realize that hiring top talent is a dance between the prospective employee and a law firm. Both need to come to the table prepared to interview each other and pull out all the stops to ensure each side picks the other.
