There are literally 4,000 different answers for this, depending on each individual firm. Some have stacked associates and the partner in need directs the posting. In some firms, the firm management (management committee, equity shareholder group, etc.) perceives the need and directs the posting. Some firms have a recruiting or hiring partner who handles it individually. There are a number of other different ways too.

I can’t get out. I’m a barred attorney looking to move into a JD preferred role. I don’t like being at a firm. I’ve applied to hundreds (literally) of contract, compliance, regulatory, etc. sort of jobs. I’m not looking for a crazy salary either. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. How do I make the switch? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

And then I want to come back to present day, quit this life-leeching, soul-sucking job and start over doing something else entirely. Too much? Oh well. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
