A Multistate Litigation Firm’s Partnership with City Personnel
A multistate plaintiff litigation firm was seeking a partnership to bolster their recruitment efforts for their Rhode Island office. With their central HR based out of state, they aimed to collaborate with a local external partner for tailored assistance in identifying local talent, advising on pay rates, and screening potential candidates.
In this case study, we will respect our client's privacy by referring to them as 'the Client.'
Challenges
- Limited Resources for Candidate Screening: Managing recruitment efforts remotely could strain the firm’s resources, particularly in terms of efficiently screening potential candidates to ensure they meet the firm’s standards and requirements.
- Understanding Local Compensation Trends: Without a presence in Rhode Island, the firm may struggle to accurately assess competitive pay rates in the local legal industry, potentially affecting their ability to attract top candidates.
- Lack of Local Expertise: With their central HR located out of state, the firm lacked direct knowledge of the Rhode Island job market, making it challenging to identify suitable local talent.
- Limited availability of local legal talent: Pinpointing suitable candidates can be difficult due to the restricted availability of local legal professionals. This is further complicated by the necessity to steer clear of potential conflicts of interest with firms that the plaintiff litigation firm engages with, adding strain to both ethical considerations and recruitment endeavors.
Results
The partnership between this plaintiff litigation firm and City Personnel produced the following results:
- Since 2013, City Personnel has been instrumental in providing a stream of Paralegal and Legal Assistant candidates.
- Having consistently placed top talent, City Personnel became the preferred recruitment partner for both new positions and staff replacements for the Client.
Approach
- Needs Assessment: City Personnel conducted an evaluation of the plaintiff litigation firm’s recruitment needs, recognizing the challenges posed by their remote HR setup and lack of local expertise. We focused on understanding their specific requirements, including the need for tailored assistance in identifying local talent and navigating local compensation trends. By aligning our strategy with their objectives, we ensured a targeted approach to sourcing candidates who could seamlessly integrate into their Rhode Island office.
- Talent Sourcing: Leveraging our extensive network and expertise in talent acquisition, we embarked on a comprehensive search to identify potential candidates who met the firm’s criteria. City Personnel tapped into their understanding of the Rhode Island job market to pinpoint suitable talent. This approach aimed to address the firm’s challenge of limited resources for candidate screening while maximizing the quality of candidates presented.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the partnership between the plaintiff litigation firm and City Personnel adeptly addressed the challenges of remote Human Resources for their Rhode Island office. By meticulously assessing needs, sourcing talent strategically, and implementing thorough screening processes, this collaboration yielded successful outcomes.
