In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Susan Mendelsohn discuss:

Susan’s strategy and relationship driven approach to recruiting.
Mistakes and misconceptions have regarding recruiting and bringing in new lawyers.
Being recruitable as a lawyer and what to look for when looking to move.
How the pandemic has affected recruiting.

Key Takeaways:

As a law firm, be very specific about what your needs are and identify what the opportunity is.
Demonstrate that you are out, marketing your firm and yourself, and identifying opportunities and bringing in business.
If you are not successful at your firm, evaluate if it is you or if it is your firm.
As things start to return to normalcy and the pandemic winds down, there will be a lot of movement as lawyers and firms find the right fit.

"I think the biggest mistake is not really identifying what the opportunity is, and being very specific about it: Why do you have that need? What is the opportunity for that person? Come to the table having something identifiable and exciting to that candidate. " — Susan Mendelsohn
