Finding great people is one of the biggest challenges law firm owners face. In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley sits down with Aaron Rothert and Chris Murphy to tackle the constant complaint: “There are no good people out there.”
The truth is, great talent does exist, but many firms miss it because they hire reactively, define roles too vaguely, and approach the process with the wrong mindset. Aaron and Chris challenge that thinking and share practical ways to hire with more clarity, strategy, and confidence.
Together, they share six strategies for hiring more effectively, from avoiding the trap of hiring when your team is already overloaded to getting specific about the role you need to fill and showing candidates the real opportunity your firm can offer.
This is part one of a two-part series. Next week: how to keep the great people you find.
