In this episode, Alay and Dominic discuss:

Attracting the right talent when you can’t afford to pay them top salaries.
Advantages of a smaller law firm.
Separating yourself from the competition in the war for talent.

Key Takeaways:

Finding talent is similar to finding clients – people will come to your firm because of what you do and what you represent.
Smaller firms could offer more control over the work environment, less bureaucracy, a different culture, and even more fun.
The reason you hire employees is for them to help you – keep that firmly in mind. Employees should allow your job to be easier and more fun.
There are creative ways to look for job candidates. Consider posting video content, especially one with captions, because it will capture the attention of more people.
