Deep dives
The Ineffectiveness of Job Boards
Relying solely on job boards for hiring is not an effective strategy for law firms. Most high-quality candidates are not actively seeking new positions and only about 30% of potential applicants are using these platforms. This methodological reliance can lead to a diluted talent pool, often filled with lower-quality applicants. By depending on job postings, firms miss out on top-tier candidates who are satisfied in their current roles but could be open to new opportunities.
