Filling a Long-Term Paralegal Vacancy
Case Study: Resolving a Persistent Patent Paralegal Vacancy
Industry: Legal / Patent Paralegal
A prominent law firm faced an ongoing challenge in filling a Patent Paralegal vacancy. Internal changes, compensation adjustments, and shifting priorities had left the role open for an extended period. The firm needed a solution to secure a highly skilled candidate who could meet the demands of the position while aligning with new organizational goals.
We partnered with the client to reassess the position’s compensation range and build a strong pipeline of patent paralegals across three target locations. By pre-interviewing candidates and evaluating their fit with the revised role description, we identified top-tier talent, including a highly experienced candidate who had previously been outside the budget. This approach enabled the client to expand their search and ultimately hire the right individual for the role.
Revised Compensation Strategy: Adjusting the compensation range strengthened the pipeline and attracted higher-quality candidates.
High-Quality Placement: The client successfully hired a well-qualified candidate who exceeded the original role expectations.
Sustainable Pipeline: Powerwell delivered a robust pipeline of candidates, providing the client with ongoing hiring options for the future.
Powerwell’s collaborative approach to refining role parameters and sourcing top candidates broke through previous hiring challenges. By aligning the search strategy with the client’s evolving needs, we facilitated the placement of a high-caliber Patent Paralegal and laid the groundwork for long-term staffing success.
This case demonstrates Powerwell’s ability to adapt strategies and deliver results for even the most persistent vacancies.
