Fee Earners: Why Job Boards Miss the Mark

01.04.24 08:00 AM Comment(s) By Eltic Limited

For recruiters targeting the legal sector in the UK, specifically those looking to place solicitors, the traditional job board approach falls drastically short. Fee earners, with their specialized skills and high demand, are not scouring job boards for their next opportunity. Instead, they're more likely to entertain offers that come through personal, direct outreach. This nuanced aspect of legal recruitment underscores the need for a more strategic, personalized approach to sourcing candidates.

Eltic emerges as a pivotal solution in this context. Offering a meticulously curated list of potential candidates, Eltic provides recruiters with two crucial pieces of information: the Move Score and the Experience Score. These metrics allow recruiters to identify not just any candidates, but the right candidates—those who are most likely to be open to new opportunities and have the necessary experience in their field.

To effectively place fee earners, recruiters must evolve beyond posting and praying on job boards. Utilizing Eltic's list, recruiters can pinpoint and connect with high-caliber legal professionals on LinkedIn. This initial connection lays the groundwork for a more personalized engagement strategy. When the time comes to fill a position, having a pre-established relationship with candidates from Eltic's list can significantly enhance the effectiveness of your outreach.

The modern legal recruitment landscape requires more than just access to candidates; it demands insights into their career movements and aspirations. Eltic's list, enriched with advanced data like the Move and Experience Scores, equips recruiters with the intelligence needed to not only reach but resonate with fee earners.

In a competitive field where personal touch makes all the difference, Eltic's data-driven approach is the key to not just competing but succeeding in placing top-tier legal talent.
