• HiringPartner specializes in the legal market and will make your hiring process, faster, easier, and less expensive.

How Not to Find the Best Legal Talent

1. Cast a wide net over an audience of millions.
2. Spend hundreds to thousands of dollars to fill each position.
3. Use hundreds of staff hours for sifting through and reviewing résumés, contacting and rejecting candidates, etc.
4. Repeat as necessary, for as long as necessary.

Is this what you’re doing? HiringPartner has a much better way.

Why HiringPartner

You could go with a number of general job boards and have access to millions of applicants—as is their claim. But what good is that kind of coverage when among those millions are accountants, truck drivers, bankers, analysts, secretaries, nurses, sales associates, clerks, etc., everyone but lawyers?

It isn’t: It’s a time waster. Instead, you want job boards that target attorneys. You also want to go where the C-suite officers, administrators, paralegals, legal assistants, secretaries, marketers, IT, court runners, and other support and legal staff specific to your industry are also searching. If you want to reach your best candidates, you need to speak their language.

What you want is a full-service ATS designed specifically for legal employers. You want HiringPartner.

One advantage to using HiringPartner is your ability to post legal job openings to more than 100 job boards where legal candidates are searching for positions. How will this improver your hiring process? Recruiters claim they get better results when they post job openings to profession-specific boards than when posting to a general job board. While this may also be the case with other job sectors; it’s especially true in the legal industry. Profession-specific sites, like HiringPartner, also serve as portals sites for generating traffic with those in the field. We generate traffic in a community of legal job employers and legal job seekers that come to read and share our extensive archive of articles on corporate culture, benefits, career tracks, job search strategies, and more: everything lawyers need to know, whatever their career level.

We provide the treasure map

Having access to a larger pool of candidates is a start, but it’s not enough. Your job postings need to be searchable on sites that cater to the appropriate talent pool. The wider audience that HiringPartner provides also gives you an advantage of a high probability of filling your vacancy sooner. This is a clear benefit over applicant tracking systems that have only a limited focus or reach.

But finding the ore is only the beginning; getting to the gold is what you need: While increased volume is important, you need the tools to help you mine for the highest quality material, and in this case, the highest quality candidates.

• The right tools are important because the average corporate job opening will attract 250 résumés. We’ll do better than that.
• 75% of applicants aren’t qualified for the posting they’re submitting for.
• 98% of all applicants will get eliminated through the initial résumé screening process.
• From that pool of potentially hundreds applicants, only 4-10, less than 2%, will reach the interview stage

Controlling the process

Without the right controls, a bigger pool will only bring you more unsuitable applicants. Our propriety ATS is designed specifically for hiring legal candidates. Only HiringPartner allows you to sort candidates by law school, graduation date, practice area, current law firm, and other criteria that is essential and specific to hiring attorneys. HiringPartner helps you quickly and easily identify legal candidates that fit your needs. HiringPartner utilizes a variety of algorithms including Boolean and string search, searching for appropriate key words and phrases, and other functions—this improves your chances of finding the best attorneys and legal candidates. Through your personalized dashboard, you can adjust your parameters and hone in on practice areas, backgrounds, experience, skills, etc. that better suit your needs.

Not only can post your openings through HiringPartner, but our ATS also includes features to:

• Filter out applicants that don’t meet your precise criteria
• Schedule interviews with candidates
• Send rejection notices
• Send personalized responses with the click of a button
• Use job description templates to save time posting jobs
• Narrow your search criteria or change your search parameters
• Rank candidates
• Save candidates for future openings
• Sort and search through all résumés received at any time

We can also create a micro site through HiringPartner that can appear on your law firm’s website or link to your careers page to automatically update closed jobs or new openings.. It will be optimized for apps and easy for legal job seekers to find and navigate.

Additionally, HiringPartner allows you to target candidates by geographical locations, attorney practice area niches, specializations, types of actual experience—we’ve designed our system to give you only what you’re looking as efficiently as possible.

Getting to your treasure (without giving it up)

Most popular job sites charge hundreds of dollars per posting, either as a monthly or weekly fee or as a pay-per-click model (which is vulnerable to “click fraud”). But a high price doesn’t guarantee high results; neither does it guarantee that your posts will have the reach that HiringPartner provides. Most boards post jobs to a few sites; most post only to their own site. We post our legal jobs to more than 100 locations.

Your legal job listing will be accessible on sites where attorneys and legal professionals are already searching. This includes law school job boards, specialize job boards, such as LawCrossing, and social networking and aggregate sites. We focus on finding candidates in the legal industry, and our team of researchers makes us the leader at this.

State-of-the-art Customer Service

Often, one of the casualties of a highly efficient automated system (think Amazon or eBay) is the ability of being able to speak to someone on the phone.

Not so with HiringPartner.

When it comes to state-of-the-art service, we’re old school: When you call, we answer. There’s no better system that will ever be. We’ve a team dedicated to making sure HiringPartner functions exactly as you’d expect it to. We stand behind our promises.

None of our competitors can match us for service: None.
