Lateral hiring rose 16.4% last year. Recruiter quality hasn't kept pace. The average lateral search still takes 4-6 months and produces dozens of unvetted resumes. Candidates who don't match your practice area, let alone your sub-practice or firm culture.
Most recruiting databases classify attorneys into 10-15 practice areas. We classify into 219 because insurance coverage and insurance defense are different searches. Employment ERISA and employment discrimination are different searches.
Every candidate in our database is verified against state bar records. You see bar number, admission date, and status before you see a name. We tag practice side (plaintiff vs. defense) because that switch kills placements.
Contingency-based. You pay only when you hire.
