Your law firm hiring process is bleeding money on bad fits. Here's the 8-step system that cuts our turnover.


Law firms hire whoever shows up and wonder why turnover kills growth. The constraint isn't finding candidates—it's filtering them systematically before bad fits waste months and frustrate your team. 


This hiring funnel legal industry approach tackles employee turnover reduction through candidate screening systems that catch culture mismatch early. Each stage—from job description optimization through multi-stage interviews—builds toward bad hire prevention. 


You'll learn the operational interview process Sterling uses for pressure testing, plus the culture fit interviews that protect your team. The system works because skills gaps close faster than culture gaps. Law firm team building requires staff retention strategies rooted in quality candidate selection, not spray-and-pray hiring mistakes law firms repeat constantly.
