Reduction in hiring cost according to our clients
If you’ve tried to hire a lawyer in the last 12 months, it almost certainly took longer and cost more than you expected.
You can’t hire what you can’t see
Law firms have invested heavily in technology to optimise how people work but far less in how people are found, attracted, and retained.
The firms achieving better hiring outcomes share a common advantage: visibility.
Using Technology provides visibility of the legal talent market. With visibility, recruitment shifts from reactive and urgent to planned, strategic, and efficient.
The Legal Talent Challenge brochure explains:
- Why traditional recruitment models are no longer fit for purpose
- The hidden cost of long hiring cycles and reactive hiring
- How data-driven recruitment gives firms a competitive edge
- What leading law firms are doing to recruit faster — without agencies
- How always-on talent pipelines reduce pressure when roles open

Why law firms can’t find legal talent is one of the biggest challenges facing the legal profession today. While many firms blame a legal talent shortage, the real issue is often visibility.
