The legal world is just beginning to see the potential of generative AI. According to the International Legal Technology Association’s 2023 tech survey, 85% of law firms currently use generative AI tools for business tasks. However, there are several untapped sectors in law that can benefit immensely from AI, such as legal recruiting.

Legal recruitment operations are outdated, imprecise, and flooded with applicants. It is a lengthy process to find candidates that stand out due to the excess of applicants, not to mention costly. Successful law firms understand the importance of not only acquiring the best talent but retaining it as well. Too often firms will fill a role only for the candidate to leave after a few months then it’s back to the drawing board. So, how do you avoid this? The key to retaining talent is placing an emphasis on relationships from the very start during recruitment. 

At Talent Engines, we recognize the power of generative AI with regard to the talent acquisition process, so we created a comprehensive AI powered lawyer database that replicates the kinds of relationships produced by referrals. We pair our AI software with a human Talent Advisor to oversee the process and answer any questions a firm may have before, during, or after the placement. In addition, the talent advisor ensures that the human element remains intact despite using generative AI to speed up the process and produce better results. 

While a candidate’s educational background, skills, and previous experiences are still heavily taken into account, Talent Engines aims to highlight relationship dynamics during the recruitment process. When positive relationships are formed in the workplace, candidates find they’re happier within their role, thus leading to less turnover and more success for the firm. Thanks to the rise of generative AI in Biglaw, we can make the best placements far easier and faster than ever before, ultimately enabling law firms to reach the top.
