As immigration laws evolve and global mobility increases, the demand for specialized legal support is on the rise. Here, we explore proactive strategies for keeping your legal team fully staffed with the qualified immigration attorneys and support staff you need.
To ensure you have the team members you need, keep job descriptions up to date, diversify your reach, and work with an experienced staffing partner to streamline the hiring process.
Update Immigration Attorney Job Descriptions
If you’re having trouble drawing in qualified candidates, the challenge may lie in your job descriptions.
Review the job descriptions for the immigration attorneys and support staff you need. If possible, have team members who are already filling these roles review the descriptions as well. Make sure the job description clearly identifies what a “day in the life” of this role looks like. Clear descriptions help qualified applicants see themselves in the job posting – and apply for the role.
Diversify Your Reach for Candidates
Finding immigration attorneys and support staff can be challenging. By reaching beyond your usual search fields, you increase your chances of connecting with the qualified people you need.
A staffing partner can help. Staffing firms know how immigration attorneys and support staff look for jobs and what they expect to see in a job description. Your staffing partner can help you connect with talent that might not otherwise hear about the opportunity you offer.
Streamline the Hiring Process
Hiring new talent comes with time pressures. Every day you spend on the task is a day you lose from other essential job duties. It’s also a day that goes by without the qualified people your organization needs.
A staffing partner can help you streamline the process. Your recruiting expert can take on tasks like reviewing resumes, holding initial phone interviews, and checking references and educational background. You can confidently interview recommended candidates, knowing that your staffing partner has done the work to introduce you to the best applicants.
