I'd like to give a shout out and share this post from my dear friend and sometimes collaborator, Somaya Ouazzani of Mimoza Fleur Search. Somaya is a true expert in her field supporting firms and senior individuals with moves in the City. I so admire her commitment to equality, ethics and really helping people to find the right fit. Her post below speaks of the current recruitment market and some of the challenges. Through my work as a coach/trainer/mentor, I see these challenges in a different lens but both of us are passionate about helping lawyers to find their happy places, where they thrive and and can grow into the lawyers and leaders they are meant to become. Issues around confidence and imposter syndrome are real, although they can be dressed up sneakily as something else such as "I don't like what I see from senior management and would never want to be like that", or "I don't want to lose myself or my work life balance" or "I'm not tough enough" or one of many more things. If a person sometimes wonders what "more" might look like, more in terms of promotion, (yes pay), responsibility, leadership/mentoring, then that thing might be for them. I'd really encourage a chat with Somaya. #futureleaders #promotions #partnership #law

We spend a lot of time discussing opportunities with candidates, which can often involve taking apart preconceived ideas about what working in any particular role might mean at a specific firm. We often have the luxury of both the full picture and the time to discuss the opportunity in more detail with our candidates which includes, where appropriate, rebutting any misplaced assumptions. The top 5 concerns we hear from our candidates: 🤏 The role will be too narrow 📖 A lack of wider project exposure 🤝 A lack of autonomy ⬅️ The role looks like a sideways move or the title is discouraging 🫰 There is no real buy-in from the partnership and senior stakeholders https://lnkd.in/ey-rgiKu #lawfirm #lawjobs #hiringadvice

#TuesdayTips (yes, I'm still running with this hashtag). "I'm so nervous for my first day of work at a new law firm. How can I prepare myself for success?" If this is you, here's how: 👨💻 Research the Firm: One of the most underrated points that I've highlighted in past posts and will continue to forever. Understand the firm's practice areas, clients, and culture to align yourself better with its values and be prepared for conversations and interactions. The more you know about the firm you're about to start working at, the more set up for success you'll be. ⌚ Arrive Early: First impressions are always imperative, not only when meeting your new superiors, but also your colleagues working similar roles as yourself. Demonstrate reliability and commitment by arriving early, giving yourself time to familiarize with the office and connect with colleagues before the workday starts. Start rapport building ASAP! ✅ Stay Positive and Confident: Believe in yourself. You got this job for a reason. Approach your first day with optimism and self-assurance, knowing that your skills and attitude contribute positively to your integration and success within the firm. Good luck out there! #LawFirm #NewJobs #Employment #Recruiting #LegalOpportunities #NewBeginnings
