1. A Healthy Work Environment
It’s incredibly important to provide your employees with an environment where they can grow professionally and individually.

2. Promote Your Firm as You Would to Prospective Clients
Show candidates how great your business is, giving examples of workplace culture and projects you’ve worked on. Remember that recruitment is a two way process and that you are trying to attract the candidates, as much as they are trying to impress.
Be open about expectations of the role, salaries and workplace culture so that candidates know exactly what to expect and what you are offering.
3. Make the Recruitment Process Easy
Be clear about the process at each stage of recruitment and be quick at getting back to candidates. The best talent in the legal industry is likely to be in high demand so communicating and not leaving people waiting will go a long way.
