How?
Our success in helping firms add laterals and companies add C-Level talent is based on unique methods we have developed for each step of the recruiting and screening process including:

Our unique client interview protocol. We interview an average of 12-15 key partners or corporate managers, including each leader in your organization to generate our Search Document.
- This Search Document guides every aspect of our partnership. It outlines:
  - the metrics you seek,
  - your differentiators with regard to attracting laterals,
  - and the traits of your best people and your culture.
This diligence process allows us to differentiate you and to tell your story in a unique way.
Highly trained Search Consultants utilizing a distinctive approach to recruiting potential candidates based on an adaptation of Miller-Heiman’s “Strategic Selling” and “Conceptual Selling” methodologies.
Our proprietary CBI (Chronological Behavior-based Interview). We extensively interview candidates over the course of several meetings to gain insight into their career goals, demonstrated traits, and priorities to identify cultural similarities and differences with your firm.
A well-defined methodology to manage both the interview and offer phases of the hiring process to ensure the successful recruitment and on-boarding of candidates.

SC, Esq.

“I think that the best way to refer to The Advocates is as a true “value-added” service provider in the legal placement business. I have worked with a number of competitors in the past twenty years. In virtually all of the cases, their involvement began and ended with putting me in contact with another law firm. With The Advocates, that was only the beginning of the services. The Advocates truly lived up to their title, taking a very active role in the process, including having face-to-face meetings with the members of the prospective law firms, staging mock interviews with me, and negotiating my compensation package. The insights, assistance, and advice that I received from The Advocates was invaluable assistance in helping me to achieve my goals.”
