In this episode, Alay and Dominic discuss:

Job hiring through LinkedIn.
Building your dream team.
Leveraging your network and your current employees.
Standing out from the competition to grab the attention of your candidates.
What to do from interview to onboarding.

Key Takeaways:

Make sure you’re on LinkedIn and post – it’s free! If you can add a visual, people are more likely to look at it. If you can do a video, that’s even better!
The best hires tend to have a connection to your firm in some fashion.
Relationships are built over time. When things change, and they often change quickly, you want to already have people in mind.
Leverage other members of your team during the hiring process. You, as the attorney, do not need to do everything from start to finish.
