Friedman Williams

Things are changing! 📢 We started Grant & Maxie as a standalone subsidiary of Friedman Williams, to focus purely on legal search. We’ve enjoyed success in finding the perfect legal roles for candidates and want to ensure that we can meet business demand. We want to be positive that our clients always have access to our team, our business and a great pool of top-tier talent. So, that being said, Friedman Williams will merge in Grant & Maxie and its employees will join the wider team to sit across all disciplines. A bigger team, for bigger and better results. 🚀 Friedman Williams: for all your recruitment needs. #legalrecruitment #recruitment

“We need someone yesterday.” And while we get it - rushed hiring usually leads to one outcome. A bad hire. We had a client who insisted on filling a seat ASAP. Didn’t take the time to interview properly. Didn’t think long-term. And what happened? The person wasn’t the right fit The company was already frustrated And they were back to square one Here’s what we tell every client: Hire for the job today - but also for the job in the future. If you’re only thinking about filling a seat, you’re not thinking about growth. Take the time to find the right person Think about how they’ll fit in the long run Don’t just hire for Q1 - hire for the next few years Because rushed hiring isn’t hiring. It’s settling. Are you hiring for today - or hiring for the future? 

We’re moving further into Q1 and here are the recruitment trends we’re seeing: 1) AI and automation These tools are streamlining processes, but they’re no substitute for human connection when finding the perfect hire 2) Quality over quantity Companies are focusing on hiring the right person, not just filling seats 3) Fair compensation The market is competitive, and offering salaries that reflect the required skill set is non-negotiable. Even in a tech-driven world, recruitment is about people - and we only place the right people in the right vacancies. You can count on us to stay on top of trends. If you want to stay ahead, let’s talk about how we can help. Call us on: 855-FW-HIRES https://lnkd.in/e8AQWQpC

If you’re job hunting this January, here’s one thing you need to do: Stand out for the right reasons.   And yes, that includes your social media presence.   Clients are looking you up.   If they see posts or photos that might raise concerns - whether it’s unprofessional content or questionable behavior - it can hurt your chances.   I’ve seen it happen: One candidate lost a life-changing offer because their social media didn’t align with the values of the firm.   Here’s how to stand out instead: - Be honest and ethical about why you’re looking for a new role - Clearly express your career goals - Audit your online presence - make sure it reflects your professional story   Your career is yours to shape.   Make sure you’re putting your best foot forward in every way.

Tough times test teams - but they also build them. At Friedman Williams, we believe in the power of positivity to keep our team moving forward. Here’s how we stay motivated when things get challenging: - Even small victories deserve recognition, so reinforce the wins - We encourage our team to believe in their abilities and the goals we’ve set - Just because something isn’t easy doesn’t mean it’s impossible, so keep perspective You can only achieve what you truly believe in. Tough times don’t last - but tough teams do. What are your go-to strategies for keeping morale high at work? We’d love to hear them!

Are you really prioritizing quality of life for your team? We know that clear communication, development opportunities, and transparency go a long way, but so does understanding what your employees truly value in their day-to-day lives.

We know what employers are looking for in candidates right now 👀   Employers → are we on the right track? Candidates → are these your priorities when interviewing?   It’s not just about qualifications or years of experience anymore. Employers are prioritizing something else entirely.   Here’s what they’re after:   ⚡ Adaptability ↳ Can you roll with the punches and thrive in changing environments?   💭 Problem-solving ↳ How well can you navigate challenges, especially under pressure?   🤝 Collaboration ↳ It’s not just about working solo. Can you communicate and work seamlessly in a team?   💡 Proactivity ↳ Are you taking initiative, or waiting for things to happen?   It’s these traits that set standout star candidates apart from the rest!   If you’re looking to move forward in your career, it’s worth focusing on HOW you work, not just what you know. #legalrecruitment #legal #hiring

Maybe it’s time to “shoot your shot.”   Too many people hold back, waiting for:   - The perfect moment - The perfect conditions - The perfect plan   But the truth?    There’s never a perfect time ❌   Whether it’s:   - Asking for that promotion - Pitching a new idea to your boss - Making a bold career move   …taking action is what creates opportunities.    Sure, it’s uncomfortable, and sometimes it’s a risk. But the biggest breakthroughs come when you feel uncomfortable.    Do you agree?

You can tell a lot about someone by their digital presence 👀   Some people are not smart about social media - even if they’re the best fit for a role, if a quick search brings up unsavoury content, it’s likely they’re not getting the job.   On the other hand, if a candidate has absolutely no digital footprint at all, that can also be a concern.   In our opinion, it’s about striking the right balance.   But some people just like to be private and stay offline, don’t they?   What do you think?

Another great milestone to share !!
