Avis Caravello In the News

From:

The Recruiter's Roundtable

Moderated by Chris Braun, publisher of The Recorder and Cal Law

Excerpt from panel member Avis Caravello's remarks:

"One of the roles of the recruiter is to educate the firm about the marketplace and their place in it. We help them determine if their expectations are in line with what the marketplace will bear. And as a result of that, there is much more of an education process at the beginning of the search. Many firms are very up to speed on the current state of the market, and those tend to be firms that have chairmen who are very involved in the process across the country and are very in tuned to what's happening in each legal market. When a search kicks off and there isn't a strategy, then there can very often be disappointment. A firm needs to articulate and map out what it's looking for and what it can offer. Signals can cross pretty easily. Time is well spent at the beginning of the search to really strategize what the firm needs in order to grow and what they can expect. If they don't get what they expect, they need to recognize that maybe they should be moving in a different direction."
