ALM: Recruiters Hunt for Red Flags Suggesting In-House Hiring Boom Will Ebb
Legal has been considered a recession-proof industry, but Sonya Old Som, managing director for Diversified Search Group’s Legal, Risk, Compliance, and Government Affairs Practice, says there are signs that will point to a hiring slowdown.
“If people don’t feel confident making these big life changes, you’ll see a slowdown,” Som said. “The lifeblood of the legal industry is a certain amount of people deciding that they’re comfortable enough, and willing to take risks and make changes.”
