Client: Boutique IP Law Firm
Industry: Legal
This IP firm looks after some of the best creatives, entertainers, personalities, lifestyle companies, media platforms, publishers, fashion brands and products across the globe with large ties to Europe, the UK, US & Asia.
Challenge:
The firm was urgently seeking a Trademark Attorney to join its growing team. Given the tight talent market and the specific requirements of the role, they posed significant obstacles in finding suitable candidates via their own means. They were also time-poor and therefore, we were hired by the firm to assist with recruitment as a Partner on-site. Meaning we were to attend first and second-round interviews alongside the principal of the firm.
The law firm needed a Trademark Attorney with specialised knowledge and a strong understanding of intellectual property law and more specifically trademark matters. This added an additional layer of complexity to the search process.
Our Approach:
Targeted LinkedIn Search: Leveraging our extensive network and expertise in legal recruitment, we conducted a comprehensive search on LinkedIn, specifically targeting qualified Attorneys with a background in trademark Law.
Thorough Screening and Assessment: We employed a rigorous screening process to identify candidates who met the client’s criteria. This involved reviewing resumes, accessing qualifications, and conducting all interviews on-site with the client to assess the candidates’ skills, experience, and cultural fit.
Efficient Communication and Collaboration: We maintained communication with the client throughout the process, providing regular updates and gathering feedback. This ensured a collaborative approach and alignment in identifying the most suitable candidates.
Results:
Within less than seven days of the client’s initial brief, we identified and presented a qualified Trademark Attorney. We swiftly conducted initial interviews, and successfully placed a qualified Trademark Attorney at this firm. Our efficient and targeted recruitment approach enabled the client to fill this role promptly.
We now consult with this client on a regular basis as their external recruitment partner.
