Search Methodology
Sourcing & Engagement
The job market for experienced attorneys is extremely candidate-driven and competitive. Law firms are constantly seeking to hire attorneys, especially those with experience giving guidance on legal structure and framework, as well as requisite legal and regulatory compliance within a niche or up-and-coming industry.
Page Executive’s team specializes in lateral attorney hiring and has a strong network with professionals in law firms across the US. The team proactively engages with high-performing candidates over a period to gain an understanding of each one’s expertise and career aspirations, connecting them to opportunities within law firms that may not be openly advertised.
Through nurturing relationships with attorneys, the Page Executive team periodically shares CVs of high-demand candidates with niche expertise to law firms.
Associates with experience handling regulatory and legal issues in FinTech and Blockchain are relatively few and far between. Knowing well that many law firms are looking to position themselves as trusted advisers to FinTech and Blockchain companies, Page Executive shared a top candidate’s CV with our Client.
Assessment
Upon reviewing the candidate’s CV, our Client was very keen to review further application materials, including his deal sheets and writing samples.
With the green signal to progress, Page Executive set up an interview between the candidate and the co-chairs of the Client’s Investment Fund practice.
Delivery
Once the candidate was interviewed, the Client made an offer through Page Executive. Through smart collaboration and effective engagement, Page Executive helped the Client secure the right candidate who was not actively looking for a move but had the precise specialized experience they were looking for.
