Noticing a lot of Defense firms "Urgently Hiring" and using every available recruiter to fill vacant jobs.

Are they growing or is it just a revolving door?

If the salary range is A-Z why does the offer always come back close to A?

Shouldn't that tell you something as to why you can't fill these positions?

I get really suspicious when I see "urgently hiring" listings. To me, it's an indicator that they didn't plan well and they're scrambling. I apply anywhere, though, because in this economy, we don't really have other options.

I am not seeing that as Paralegal, I get a message just about every other day without applying to jobs. What city are you in?

Usually it’s a revolving door and, in my experience, it definitely is the lack of adequate compensation that is the cause. Firms like that are great places to get experience but not where you want to end up long term, if you have options.

Urgent hiring is a red flag for me, for any established business, they should have business continuity plans and should not really need “urgent hire”

I’d say a lot would depend on the actual law firm hiring. Knew someone that worked at a PI firm that would hire attorneys with no PI experience and then sit there and wonder why they weren’t meeting the goals set out for them. Sure, some will get it and knock it out of the park and some just don’t have a clue, no matter what.

I have found that, after the lull in civil trials during COVID, when trials began again, many litigators (here) decided they had enough of litigating and the food fight of getting ready for trial.

It’s a revolving door. People get burned out on the overload of work they pour on you. I know. Been feeling it for 4 years. Ready to move on.

Over 20 years here, couldn’t deal with it anymore, had to get out.

Definitely a revolving door.

I have an offer accepted from Elevance 125k (Anthem) and w a good team and seems that WLB would be ok. Also, Amazon hiring manager wants to interview me for a job. Is just a hiring manager int. so obvi nothing guaranteed. Salary if offered will be more than 150k. My question is should I accept the interview and see where it goes? Is it really worth it to proceed with a company like Amazon for 25k+. I live in CA so $ is imp but I do have a toddler so WLB is also imp. Both role are Sr. MGR.

Good Morning all,

Since I pivoted into TA (from the Wild West known as Finance) Tech Recruiting has always been the goal. But I’m having a hard time finding a way to get into that space (I do understand there’s a hiring crisis). Nevertheless, does anyone know of tech companies that are hiring? I may be low on the experience side so I’m willing to look at contract/ entry roles as well. Also, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I accepted a job offer in April to start a few months from now, post clerkship. All conflicts/background check went smoothly etc. Since accepting my offer, the firm has increased their 1st year pay across the board to be higher than my offer was (which was, at the time, what 2nd yeas got). When should I reach out to the recruitment attorney leading up to my start date? Or should I? (Haven't spoken since May) Should I bring up the salary or just assume its higher?
