• Build and maintain talent pipelines using LinkedIn Recruiter, Workable, and other sourcing platforms.
• Develop and execute sourcing strategies tailored to different legal specializations (e.g., personal injury, litigation, workers’ compensation, employment law).
• Conduct structured interviews to evaluate candidates’ technical, behavioral, and cultural fit.
