Three Signs It’s Time to Finally Outsource Your Legal Hiring Needs

Is your team struggling to keep up with recruitment demands? If so, you’re not alone – and it may be time to reach out for help.

Here, we highlight three key indicators that it’s time to partner with a legal recruitment firm. From saving time to accessing top-tier talent, find out how outsourcing your hiring needs can streamline your process and boost your firm’s productivity.

You Can’t Find the People You Need When You Need Them

One sign it’s time to outsource your legal hiring needs is that you can’t find qualified candidates when you need to add someone to your team.

Failure to connect with qualified talent can have several causes. An experienced legal recruitment firm can diagnose exactly why you’re not attracting the right applicants – and fix the problem.

Legal recruiters also specialize in building strong relationships with qualified legal talent. Chances are good that your staffing partner will know someone who offers a good fit for the role.

You Can Find the Right Talent, But You’re Overwhelmed by the Process

Perhaps you have the opposite problem: You have plenty of good candidates. So many, in fact, that sorting through their resumes, checking references, and scheduling interviews is overwhelming.

If this sounds familiar, a legal recruiting firm can help. Legal recruiters take many of the initial tasks off your hands, like reading resumes and contacting references. Your staffing partner forwards you the information for the best candidates for the role – allowing you to focus on finding the right fit.

Your Hiring Costs are Straining Your Budget

Hiring can be costly. An open position is losing the productivity associated with that role. It also undermines the productivity of the rest of your team, as they take time away from their own work to cover the open position’s essential tasks. Add the costs of reaching out to candidates, conducting interviews and background checks, and other expenses, and your hiring budget may be stretched to its limit.

In this situation, it may be tough to consider working with a legal recruiting firm. Yet your staffing partner can typically lower your overall costs. Their efficiency and deep knowledge of legal recruiting leads to better outcomes in less time for your organization.
