Partner vs Vendor

Not a Vendor. A Partner

Hiring a legal search firm is an important decision for any law firm or legal department. The livelihood of your business is dependent on the employees who bring their skills, experiences and personalities to the job everyday. By partnering with a search firm, you are asking an outsider to handle the all-important task of choosing some of the people who contribute to the dynamic and the pace of your business environment.

WalkerSearchGroup does not operate as an outsider. As an extension of your recruiting department we will provide dedicated recruiting resources to work for filling openings within your company. Our Search Consultants and Recruiters blend in-depth knowledge of specific legal job classifications, with professional recruiting skills and a unique understanding of what matters most to diverse legal candidate communities, in order to assist you in building and inclusive organization of the best legal talent.

Investigate

As the first step, we review your company, practice areas and your current initiatives. We consult with you in order to develop an understanding of your organizational culture and specific position and hiring criteria. An appreciation of the management style and personalities involved is crucial. It is also vital that we fully understand the open opportunity and its significance to the overall organization. We must be able to represent your organization to the greatest possible advantage to potential candidates.

Communicate

After the personal and professional candidate requirements are defined, we deliver a comprehensive job description for your review. Upon approval, the description is used to communicate the scope of the opportunity to our staff and to prospective candidates.

Plan

Given the assignment parameters, we draft a sourcing plan customized to your specific need and most capable of articulating your initiatives and goals, thereby producing skilled candidates who will fit not only the position requirements, but also the company culture.

Search

We identify and "work" all sources likely to generate the most qualified potential candidates. We utilize such tools as (internet sites, career events, professional associations, colleges and universities, alumni associates, and print advertising) to isolate and identify "Hidden Candidates" that you can't reach on your own. As a resource solely dedicated to this function, our team typically executes these sourcing processes within minutes of receiving a job requisition. Within hours, our recruiters can reach out and present your opportunity, to more candidates than your staff can talk to in weeks. Our processes are designed to facilitate high volume, direct communication with candidates in the shortest amount of time.

Screen

We then qualify those candidates who appear to be best suited for further evaluation. We analyze their qualifications, motivation, cultural compatibility, and level of interest in your company and the opportunity. A relatively small segment of candidates are chosen for presentation. We then work with you to coordinate and schedule interviews.

Verify

Once finalists are determined and you and the candidate express solid interest, we screen the candidates to verify employment, educational and responsibility information as well as the impressions gained during the interview process.
