    The 8-Step Law Firm Hiring Process Overview for Growth

    Your law firm hiring process is bleeding money on bad fits. Here's the 8-step system that cuts our turnover. Law firms hire whoever shows up and wonder why turnover kills growth. The constraint isn't finding candidates—it's filtering them systematically before bad fits waste months and frustrate your team.  This hiring funnel legal industry approach tackles employee turnover reduction through candidate screening systems that catch culture mismatch early. Each stage—from job description optimization through multi-stage interviews—builds toward bad hire prevention.  You'll learn the operational interview process Sterling uses for pressure testing, plus the culture fit interviews that protect your team. The system works because skills gaps close faster than culture gaps.

    What Data Taught Me About Law Firm Budget Allocation

    Law firm budget allocation wastes money when you don't prioritize intent. Here's the 5-step system we use at Sterling Lawyers. Poor campaign segmentation drains budget on low-value service lines and research keywords instead of revenue-driving divorce cases. Most firms waste their budget on low-value keywords, while high-intent divorce searches remain underfunded. We segment campaigns by service profitability and purchase intent. It’s not about budget size—it’s about allocation. These five budget rules maximize ROI through intent-based targeting and service-line segmentation. Weekly data reviews prevent waste.
