Employee motivation matters just as much in law firms as it does in any other industry. In fact, we happen to think it’s more important. It’s imperative that law firms attract and retain talented staff who are engaged in fulfilling the values of the office. Retention is important for two distinct reasons. First, there is the expense of hiring and training new staff, even if they’re experienced. To keep this cost to a minimum and to break even with it, retention of staff is crucial. Second, many law firms rely on the creation and nurturing of long-term relationships with their clients. That is much easier done when a law firm doesn’t experience massive or frequent turnover.
Law firm hiring mirrors the hiring efforts of other industries. It’s gone digital. Digital recruitment for law firms certainly has the potential to make things easier, but it also creates specific issues that should be addressed before a law firm adopts a digital acquisition strategy.
Scaling up is great, but it certainly comes with its challenges. Those challenges often start as soon as you recognize that you must find the right candidate to help better serve your growing client base. Interviewing potential lawyers is different than interviewing clients and witnesses. It’s imperative that you’re able to find and hire the right candidate. Yet, interviewing attorneys to potentially join your law firm takes more than asking the standard interview questions found all over the internet. You really need a way to determine whether candidates have the legal skills, client-focused attitude, and personality to help keep your law firm growing.
