Brief

Deutsch Miller sought to appoint a high-calibre Legal Assistant to support their growing commercial practice. Recruiting directly had proven challenging; advertising produced a high volume of unsuitable applicants and securing candidates with both the required technical capability and cultural alignment was difficult in a competitive legal support market.

“We struggled to attract high-calibre candidates with both the technical skill set and cultural alignment required for the role. Advertising alone produced a high volume of unsuitable applicants, and the market was extremely competitive.”
