"That's massive for them in their life, and you can be a very small part in that and help them. That's very very rewarding" Tom Oliver joined me for the latest episode of The Law According To... podcast, which is now available (link in the comments). Here's a little glimpse into what you can expect. #podcast #hiring #lawjobs #legalcareers

RIP Liam Payne. It's heartbreaking when anyone passes away, especially someone so young with so much life ahead of them. No matter the circumstances (hopefully it was just a tragic accident), it's a painful reminder of how fragile life is and how important it is to cherish the people closest to us. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time.

We dive deep into his legal journey and uncover valuable insights for anyone looking to advance in the legal profession. Stay tuned—you won’t want to miss this! #podcast #lawcareers #lawjobs

What is the biggest issue for law firms when recruiting? Procrastination! Having a recruitment process that is too slow will mean you'll miss out on the best candidates So if you're struggling to hire legal talent right now it's time to review your process ✅ Ensure that everybody who needs to be involved is fully informed and ready to go ✅ Remove any unnecessary gaps or hurdles ✅Make your recruitment process clear simple and most importantly fast Do this and you'll notice a big difference

Self-Care vs Career Advancement Should this really be a choice we have to make? It's easy to get caught up in the hustle, trying to advance our careers and lend a hand whenever we can. But here's the thing: Overloading ourselves can lead to stress, anxiety, and, eventually, burnout. 😔 Embrace the power of saying NO. 🚫 Confidently declining when you're already swamped not only boosts productivity but also contributes to your mental well-being. ❤️ Prioritise self-care and find that balance. #mentalhealthawareness #WorkLifeBalance #MentalWellness 💼🌈

As a small business owner, where can you go when you don't have all the answers? I've been a part of The HoLT for several months now and the amount of value and support it has provided me is exceptional. Networking, community, support, advice, wellbeing, masterclasses, and much, much more. I've tried a few community groups over the past 2-3 years and whilst they all had their plus points, none were as comprehensive as The HoLT. If you're looking for a community to support you and your business, I suggest this one 🤩

Planned on being at #recexpo2024 at #BirminghamNEC today, but far too busy so had to bin it off. To all those going, have a great couple of days. There is always plenty of value to be had and loads of great takeaways. Instead, here I am, beavering away searching for wonderful people for some fabulous employers.

Aww! Check out what just turned up in the post 👌 Just in time to wear whilst hosting this afternoon's The HoLT community call. Thanks Lea, you're an absolute super⭐⭐⭐

Are you using unconscious bias in your job adverts? What is unconscious bias? It’s how a person thinks, often depending on their life experiences and sometimes they have beliefs and views about other people that might not be right or reasonable. This means they could make a decision influenced by false beliefs or assumptions. Here are my FIVE top tips to avoid unconscious bias ⭐ Just being aware of unconscious bias in the first place ⭐ Getting recruiting managers to agree to make each other aware if they notice stereotyping ⭐ Holding back some details on job application forms/CVs, such as the applicant's name or sex, that could affect recruiting managers' opinions (this is called 'blind screening') ⭐ At each stage, having more than one person sifting job applications, interviewing the applicants and deciding who gets the job ⭐ Keeping a written record of why decisions were made What would you add to this list? #hiring #lawjobs #humanresources #legalcareers
