How Personal Branding Impacts Your Prospects for Employment

October 4, 2022

Personal branding creates a recognizable name for yourself. In simplest terms, it is the process of letting the world (or at least the legal community) know who you are. All too few law professionals focus on the development of their personal brand, which means doing so is a great way to separate yourself from the competition in the eyes of employers (i.e. private law firms). This review discusses the benefits of personal branding for lawyers, particularly as it relates to employment purposes.

Why Your Austin Firm Isn’t Finding the Dream Candidate

September 20, 2022

If your Austin-area firm finds itself struggling to find ideal legal candidates, know that you aren’t alone. Multiple businesses across various market sectors can’t find job candidates at all in this difficult environment. According to CNBC, “roughly 47.4 million people voluntarily left their jobs for better work during the pandemic and Great Resignation [in 2021]. For comparison, 42.1 million people quit in 2019, at the time considered the tightest labor market on record.” While legal markets have begun to recover, finding the right candidate for the job remains a challenge for many firms, partnerships, and companies.

While all of us would conclude that promoting diversity and inclusion in recruitment is a positive thing, precious few organizations seem to achieve it, particularly at higher levels of an organization.
