Why hiring the right lawyers takes longer, and costs more

You can't hire what you can't see

What leading law firms are doing differently

Recruitment and retention continue to top the priority list for law firms across Australia and New Zealand. Yet many firms are still relying on outdated, reactive recruitment models that inflate costs, delay hiring, and limit access to quality talent.

This short, practical brochure explores the real reasons legal hiring remains so difficult — and how greater visibility and data are transforming recruitment outcomes.

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

Traditional Recruitment is broken. What works now is building relationships early and using tech to create a pipeline of quality candidates.
