What is your background as a recruiter?

Like many people, I “stumbled” into recruitment during my final year of law school. I never intended to stay in recruitment for long and always wanted to work as a lawyer. I started working for an international recruitment agency as a Candidate Manager and eventually worked my way up to become Manager of the Legal team. I really enjoyed it. Recruitment is a very “people-centric” industry and that applies to me too. I joined Beacon Legal in 2018 to focus on in-house legal recruiting and currently lead Beacon’s In-House Legal department.

What changes do you think we will see in the recruitment industry over the next 12 months?

There’s no doubt that recruiting trends have changed recently. 2021 and 2022 have truly been a candidate-dominated market. This year we’ve seen fewer job openings, stagnant salaries, and downsizing. The situation is not dire, and talented legal candidates are still very marketable, but the landscape is very different than in past years. The recruiters who will navigate the next 12 months effectively are those who have built (and continue to build) strong relationships with candidates and clients over time. It will be very difficult for “transactional” recruiters.

What is one piece of advice you would give to employers?

Perfect your hiring process. This means you (and your interviewers) need to have a clear understanding of: what makes you unique as a company, what sets you apart from your competitors, what you’re looking for in candidates, and what the logistics of the hiring process look like. You also need to have a clear understanding of what candidates are looking for and pitch your services accordingly.
