FOR LAW FIRMS
20 MINUTES. NO OBLIGATION. HONEST ADVICE.
Job boards and general recruiters are built for roles that are easy to fill. Recruitify is built for the ones that are not, the seat that has lost two attorneys in a row, the director role that has sat open for months, the search where the job description does not match what the firm actually needs.
HIRING STRATEGY
When Posting the Job Isn't Enough
Client Problem
A law firm needed to hire a senior attorney for a highly specialized practice area. Like many firms, they started by posting the position themselves and waiting for qualified attorneys to apply. They also relied on referrals from their own team. The role remained open because the attorneys they wanted either weren't applying or simply weren't looking for a new opportunity.
Recruitify Diagnosis
The problem wasn't the market. It was the search strategy. There are generally three ways to find candidates: post the job and wait for applications, ask your own team for referrals, or proactively identify and recruit attorneys who aren't actively looking. The firm had already exhausted the first two. This search required the third.
Recommendation
The firm had already done what most firms do. They posted the position themselves and relied on referrals. Recruitify wasn't hired to repost the job. Recruitify was hired to find attorneys the firm couldn't reach on its own. Over approximately 25 hours, I sourced candidates, conducted targeted outreach, held Zoom interviews, and personally vetted attorneys before presenting anyone to the client. The strongest attorney was never going to apply to the firm's job posting. The search had to go find them.
Business Outcome
The position was filled in approximately one month. More importantly, the firm solved a search that had repeatedly stalled by changing the strategy instead of repeating the same process.
Why It Mattered
Posting a job works when the right attorney is already looking. The hardest legal searches are usually won by finding attorneys who weren't planning to make a move until the right opportunity found them.

What Law Firms Say
There's a big difference between hiring a recruiter and engaging a trusted talent optimization partner. The former generates resumes with a focus on closing fast deals. The latter carefully procures talent based on your true business needs while maintaining a trusted relationship. Marcus is the latter, and that's why I've partnered with him for several years.
Corey Castillo, Chief Operating officer, Lagerlof LLP
I've worked with a few recruiters over the years to fill positions in our firm, and Marcus is by far the best and most professional. He's honest and will always give it to you straight. He filled a really difficult position and was creative in making the deal happen.
