Do You Have a Strategy Around Your Hiring Process?
A strategy for staffing and hiring is critical to law firm growth. The process can be daunting. However, having a plan in place will positively affect your practice’s profitability and team morale. A hiring strategy will cultivate growth, maximize profitability, and keep your team happy.
Selecting a great candidate is more than the experience and education you see on their resume. How do you know if the new candidate will work well with your existing team? Using tools like the DISC profile will help you align communication and workstyle preferences to the role, responsibilities, your expectations, and your team. Consider current hiring trends – what are your colleagues and competitors offering new employees? If you find a great candidate, you want your open position to be the role and law firm they’re seeking.
Candidate Strengths and Work Style Preferences
“Behavioral-style test instruments identify key aspects of a candidate’s personality in order to determine their suitability for the job in question. As a predictor of performance, these tests are far more reliable than interviews alone.”
We recommend using the DISC Assessment in the hiring process to help align the role and responsibilities to the communication and work style preferences.

Hiring Trends
A critical element of attracting candidates who will be committed to your practice is making your offering competitive and attractive in the marketplace. In a post-pandemic era, understanding candidate needs and wants will make your offer attractive. Benefits, time-off and a plan for work-life balance are considerations to candidates seeking a new role.
Two examples of 2023 hiring trends include: *using social media to recruit and offering benefits that emphasize health and wellbeing.
