THE PROBLEM: Most job sites charge hundreds of dollars per posting. These expensive posting often get no results at all. Attorney jobs can be found on hundreds of websites and attorneys typically use multiple sites when posting their jobs.

THE SOLUTION: Other job sites distribute jobs but to far fewer sites. HiringPartner distributes your jobs to 100+ legal job sites. Most job sites only post to themselves. We distribute your jobs to over 100+ legal job sites.

THE PROBLEM: One of the biggest time sucks and unnecessary expenses of running a law firm is having to respond to resumes. Making matters more difficult; most of the resumes that law firms receive are not qualified for the positions the law firm has available. Because of this, the resumes need to be rejected. The influx of these resumes means that you constantly need to review these resumes, send rejection letters, send rejection emails, or input these resumes into an online applicant tracking system for later review. For many law firms, this can create an enormous administrative burden that wastes time that could be used for billing and other more productive tasks. Moreover, there are follow up emails and calls from attorneys and others inquiring about the state of their submission to the firm.

THE SOLUTION: HiringPartner largely makes the stress of rejecting resumes a thing of the past. You can easily reject candidates in an intuitive and simple way on the site, customize your rejection emails and always review applicants quickly before they get out of hand. Applicants that come into your firm can be immediately rejected after they arrive.

THE PROBLEM: Most law firms receive lots of applicants on an ongoing basis. These applicants may be in the wrong practice area, or the wrong class year for a current position at the time they are received. Moreover, because resumes are constantly coming at the firm in a variety of ways, many of them are often lost, misplaced, or wind up in the wrong email folder. This means you are working almost exclusively on new resumes and even new resumes may be being lost and misplaced. This can cost your law firm lost revenue and missed opportunities now and in the future. The cost not centralizing your resumes is a huge one.

THE SOLUTION: Because every resume received by HiringPartner goes directly into your personal ATS, you will always have access to it. If there are jobs at a later date that open up, you can easily pull up this candidate, and they may be matching at that time. This obviates the need to remarket a job. Also, because every resume is going into a centralized place, you can rest assured you are not losing resumes. Every resume you ever receive is centralized and goes directly into your database. Just because a candidate is not a good fit for one of your current positions, does not need you will not have a use for them in the future. HiringPartner saves all of your past applicants so that you will be able to view and use them in the future. This will save you money and time because you can check back in with past applicants and see if they might have an interest in using you in the future.

THE PROBLEM: Writing strong job descriptions takes a lot of time. Also, many law firms tend to have the same sorts of position over and over again. Most of the time, though, every time a law firm has a new position a new job description is written because people do not remember (or keep) all of the work they did in the past. This takes a lot of time and is wasted administrative time that could be used for other things. Also, because attorneys and others come and go inside of recruiting departments, this information is not centralized, and this results in significant additional expense.

THE SOLUTION: HiringPartner centralizes all of your legal jobs in one place and allows you to close jobs as they are filled and then re-activate new jobs when they reopen. You can also see all of the applicants associated with each job in the future and often simply reactivate these candidates. You can easily sort through and see all of your current and past jobs in one place. This allows you to get a quick and easy snapshot of your recruiting needs so that you can see exactly what is going on with your firm.

THE PROBLEM: Law firms often have multiple open positions at the same time and different people in charge of hiring for each position. This means that someone will need to look through each applicant and attempt to understand—to the best of their ability—what position this attorney is applying to. This is inefficient from an administrative standpoint and requires that the person reviewing resumes be educated on practice areas and the sorts of qualifications attorneys in each practice area need. Without substantial experience, understanding the strength of a patent attorney’s background, for example, is difficult for all but the most experienced patent attorneys. Decisions to reject candidates may often be made without fully understanding their background and other applicants for a given position may be circulated when they are not qualified. This is time-consuming, expensive and results in many otherwise highly qualified applicants being missed.

THE SOLUTION: Instead of just reviewing every applicant to your firm in one place, HiringPartner also gives you the ability to review applicants for each job. This means that those hiring for each job can see exactly who applied and review candidates this way. If your law firm has several openings at one time, this can make the process very easy. Each attorney doing the hiring can review all of the resumes in one place. This results in increased hiring efficiency. Instead of just seeing piles of applicants that are coming in, HiringPartner organizes each of these applicants so that you can see the applicants you receive for each position.

THE PROBLEM: Traditionally law firms have sorted through resumes they want to interview and then manually reach out to those they wanted to interview and then manually collect various review forms. This is a time-consuming process that is often quite inefficient.

THE SOLUTION: Interviews can be scheduled online. Instead of having to distribute and collect feedback forms, the entire process with HiringPartner of getting and collecting feedback is done online. This allows you to see feedback from every applicant that applies in one place.

THE PROBLEM: Most applicant tracking systems do not understand the profound importance that law firms place on practice area, law school graduation date, the candidate’s current firm and other “unique metrics” for law firm hiring. Most ATS’s are “one size fits all” and do not understand, or appreciate, how important these things are to law firms. Without this information readily at your disposal, it is difficult to consistently find the right people when they come in.

THE SOLUTION: HiringPartner sorts by all of the most important law firm metrics and allows you to quickly screen applicants that may and may or may not be suitable for your firm. Because HiringPartner is made just for law firms, we allow you to be far more efficient than you would be with an applicant tracking system and job board that does not exist solely for law firms hiring attorneys.

THE PROBLEM: Most applicant tracking systems make it difficult to add new candidates to your database, create new user accounts and add new jobs. This means that you may be limited by what you are seeking to do –or be forced to content with unnecessary fields, for example, in a one size fits all ATS system.

THE SOLUTION: HiringPartner is customized only for law firm hiring. We have only the fields you need for candidates. This saves you time and money in the recruitment process. HiringPartner gives you the ability to quickly add candidates, new users and jobs. You can even reactivate old jobs and save a great deal of time as well. You can have an unlimited number of users on the site as well.

THE PROBLEM: Most applicant tracking systems do not classify their jobs by practice area. Instead, they are “one size fits all”. This means that it can take considerable time reviewing the resumes to understand what the attorney does when they resume arrives.

THE SOLUTION: HiringPartner classified all attorneys and jobs in its database by practice area. This means that candidates in the database are properly sorted and findable for each job. Having a well-structured database will save you time and money.

THE PROBLEM: Most applicant tracking systems do not even send job alerts. When you post a job on your site, you are also not likely to get many applicants.

THE SOLUTION: HiringPartner, in contrast, searches our entire opt-in database and alerts every attorney that has ever indicated and interest in working in your area of the country and whose practice area and qualifications match what you are seeking.
