Legal Recruiter Directory Releases Comprehensive Study on the State of Legal Recruiting Across Major U.S. Cities

Initial Findings Available Now in Multi-Part Series of Insights for Legal Professionals and Employers

The Legal Recruiter Directory, the leading online resource for connecting legal professionals with top-tier recruiters nationwide, has just released the first of a series of comprehensive studies examining the current landscape of legal recruiting across the United States. Drawing on an extensive review of the Legal Recruiter Directory’s internal data, these insights provide valuable information for law firms, corporate legal departments, and candidates navigating today’s competitive legal market.

While creating this series, the Legal Recruiter Directory leveraged its own data for legal recruiters that covered over sixty of the largest cities in the industry. These legal recruiters were vetted before entry on the platform and encompass the vast majority of the legal market. The organization then collected population, lawyer, and law firm data as well as additional legal search firm data from other sources before publishing its findings.

The initial two reports, “Cities with the Most Legal Recruiters” and “Cities with the Least Legal Recruiters,” reveal key trends across metropolitan areas and highlight where legal professionals have the greatest access to specialized recruiting support. These articles mark the beginning of a larger, multi-part series that will delve deeper into the shifting dynamics within the legal recruiting space, offering an in-depth look at hiring trends, regional differences, and emerging practice areas.
