Moneyball for Law Firms: Rethinking Associate Talent Acquisition


Course Description:

Can your firm benefit from a "Moneyball" stats-driven approach to talent?  If Companies like Xerox, IBM and Proctor & Gamble have done so, why not your firm?

 

Moneyball is the practice of adding overlooked efficiencies and inefficiencies in any methodology mix to arrive at an optimal ‘team’ of success-driving criteria.

 

Forward-thinking law firms are using Moneyball analytics to predict the likelihood of a candidate’s success at the firm well before the in-person interview. By screening resumes during the OCI process for the attributes that actually matter at your firm – not just the traditional measures of success such as grades, law review and top schools – the firm can greatly increase its ability to hire more A-players and fewer C-players.  

 

Far and away the gains are huge.  In fact, research at one Am Law 100 firm revealed that hiring ten midlevel A-players—instead of C-players—would contribute between $2 million and $5 million to the firm's bottom line annually.

CoursE highlights:

This comprehensive audio conference on CD explores how Moneyball principles are being applied in law firm hiring with great success, including how to: 

  • Determine areas of your hiring tradition you may want to re-evaluate
  • Honestly identify the needs of your firm and the qualities you are really lacking and looking for to produce a more rounded, successful team 
  • Create a strategy for detecting these qualities
  • Identify what you are trying to maximize now. Is it money?  Is it expertise? Is it the best work for your firm?
  • Determine what behaviors are driving clients -- and are you effectively harnessing them?
  • Examine how well you are maximizing and remunerating current talent. Are you penalizing some colleagues for using their talents for the firm?
  • Innovate with this methodology to impact more areas of your practice
