Does your firm provide billable credit for hiring activities (candidate interviews, campus recruiting events, etc.)? Mine does not and I don’t know how annoyed to be.

Mine does not, but it’s mostly virtual now, so not as big a time sink.

Not annoyed at all. It’s called being a good firm citizen and it’s part of your deal with the firm.

Latham gives credit for up to 50 “commitment hours” which includes recruiting.

Yes, but there’s a cap at 100 hours

Only for diversity related recruiting events at MLB (or whatever they refer to it as these days) with a cap of 50 hours per billable year

like

Mine gives credit for a number of random categories of activity but recruiting/hiring is not one.

Diversity event participation, sustainability event participation, innovation (though this category has more rules and is harder to qualify for), watching oral arguments or depositions when you’re not on the matter (things that teach/build skills but that clients can’t be billed for), then the usual pro bono

Most do not or provide a very small number of allocated hours

Yes, as part of a bucket of nonbillable hours that are creditable toward bonus that is capped at 100 hours. No minimum threshold to reach or clear for eligibility.

It’s pretty great. We also have the first 40 hours of vacation counted toward bonus target.
