Hiring Shouldn’t Be the Bottleneck to Your Firm’s Growth.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one who “gets it” at your firm, chances are your hiring process is broken—and costing you time, energy, and clients.
  • You’ve hired support staff only to replace them 6 months later.
  • You’ve wasted time (and money) on recruiters who didn’t deliver.
  • Your firm’s growth is capped by weak admin performance and constant turnover.
  • You don’t have a proven process, just guesswork and gut feeling.
  • You’re stuck doing the screening, interviews, and onboarding—again. 
Inside the Legal Recruiting Guide is "The Smart Hire® Interview Questions" that gives you the exact 32 questions law firm owners use to hire right the first time—without wasting another hour.

"Nothing's as expensive as a bad hire"
 
"Jonathan and I need an excellent administrative assistant/paralegal as we continue to grow. We started asking around to other lawyers and other professionals and kept running into dead ends. In the end we hired Molly Hall at Hiring & Empowering Solutions and have been BLOWN AWAY by their process.

I must say that I am over the moon with the level of service Molly and her team have provided to us. Yes, you have to pay for the service but I can tell you from prior experience, there’s nothing as expensive as a bad hire.. Molly’s team and their process go a long way to avoid a bad outcome like that. I’m beyond grateful for their help, and will 100% use them for our next hire.

If you’re looking for admin/paralegal help, you will do yourself and your practice a disservice if you don’t work with Molly first.

"Saved me so much time, effort & stress"
 
“We called Hiring & Empowering Solutions after a staff member gave two weeks notice. They immediately crafted a job description that fit our needs. Advertisements for the position went out quickly and interviews were lined up quickly allowing us to have the new person hired with a start date immediately after the departing staff member left.

Molly sifted through all the responses, vetted the candidates, and only had me meet with the people that she had pre-screened. Instead of a dozen interviews, I did two interviews. She also handled all the scheduling. The systematic approach saved me so much time and effort. The stress was removed from my shoulders. They are professional and the entire process is stress free for the business owner.”
