“There are no great candidates” can feel like the obvious explanation when your law firm keeps struggling to hire or retain good people. But if employees repeatedly leave, new hires never get properly trained, or every search starts after your team is already overwhelmed, the candidate pool may not be the only problem.
In this episode of From Esq. to Owner, Aaron Rothert puts me in the interview seat to ask what law firm owners should examine before blaming the hiring market. They discuss how to identify the role your firm actually needs, why hiring too late can undermine a new employee from day one, how to cast a wider net for candidates, and why onboarding and training are just as important as finding the right person.
The right hire at the right time can create capacity, support growth, and give a law firm owner more freedom. Listen to learn how to build a hiring process that gives good people a better chance to become great team members.
