Ryan Malloy, recruiter at VOYlegal: While at first glance candidates may attribute their unhappiness to hours, culture, and/or money, there is usually something else occurring below the surface. What are the main reasons lawyers want to leave jobs? As well as speaking with VOYlegal recruiters, we got the 411 from associates who’ve recently lateralled to give you better insight and some top tips for finding a job you love… Not that anecdotal evidence is completely without merit of course. In short, DuPree says using data “enables us to provide our candidates with more than just a list of open positions – not just anecdotal evidence.” It’s also shown that competition for litigation positions is the fiercest. And that third-year associates account for the highest percentage of lateral moves. The data can provide an even more detailed picture, which, according to fellow recruiter Anna Sanders, means they can answer questions like “Where did the last five folks from your firm end up? What about alums from your law school, in your practice area, or in your market?” VOYlegal’s use of data can tell them, for example, that the Atlanta and Texas markets have seen the highest percentage associate growth in the last four years.
“Lateralling can broaden and enhance associates’ legal skill sets which will in turn make them more marketable, successful attorneys in the future.” Isabel DuPree, one of VOYlegal’s recruiters, explains: “This helps us identify employers that may be interested in a candidate even though there is not a current opening, and to assess a candidate’s strengths and weaknesses in the market.” As well as identifying where the opportunities are, they can look at historical and recent hiring patterns across different firms and markets. That magic, as we all know, is data analytics.ĭata is just one of the tools that VOYlegal’s recruiters use to help match attorneys on the job hunt with the right firm for them. Whether it’s designer shoes, concert tickets or a state-of-the-art coffee machine, it feels like these days you scarcely have to think of the items on your wish list and they appear in the sidebar of whichever website you’re visiting, as if by magic.
