Looking for a new job in the legal field is not the easiest thing to do in the best of times. During the COVID-19 pandemic various people/companies still in full/partial lockdown, budgets being slashed due to falling revenues in industries across the board, and more make the task even more difficult.
Those who are serious about performing a legal job search in spite of these things look for new approaches and strategies to help them be successful. One such strategy is to enlist the aid of a legal recruiter. Legal recruiters can search for jobs in the legal field while you are busy at your current job and that’s not all.
Legal recruiters in Denver, and across the nation, have years of experience filling jobs in the legal field such as associate attorney, partner, paralegal, and more. Legal recruiters can tell the type of personnel solutions that will best suit a company by having an in-depth knowledge of a law firm’s structure, responsibilities, strategic goals, etc. They achieve this by staying in constant contact with client law firms and upholding the highest standards when it comes to the personnel they place there.
Legal recruiters develop recruitment strategies, reach out to potential candidates, attend recruitment events and hiring fairs, and create a talent management plan to retain current employees.
As someone looking for a new or better job in the legal field, getting in contact with a legal recruiter in general is very important, but if you already have one or a few law firms that you want to work for in mind, getting in contact with those corresponding legal recruiters is highly effective. You can find them at hiring fairs, legal association events, or even contact them directly on LinkedIn. Make sure the legal recruiter is associated with the law firm where you are interested working before making contact, just to be safe.
Legal recruiters will typically do due diligence to make sure you are qualified for the jobs in the legal field you are looking for.
Assuming you fulfil the requirements of the legal jobs you are interested in, they can help you get your resume in front of the right people and avoid the preverbal “stack of resumes” that end up on a random HR representative’s desk. They do this via years of networking and collaboration between the recruitment agency and the law firm. The best legal recruiters can even aid in salary negotiations if a law firm shows interest in hiring you for your dream legal job!
