No. We are a job board that allows law firms to post job openings and receive applications.

Unlimited postings. Proactive outreach to over 150,000 attorneys at Large, Midsize, Boutique firms, driving candidates directly to your jobs. Increased visibility of your firm and open jobs.

We keep it simple. Two plans that allow unlimited postings and three plans that allow one to three reuseable posting slots per month.

We do not offer a free trial as the recruiting life-cycle does not lend itself to one. Our platform is intuitive to use and even if you make one hire in a year, the annualized cost of Lateral Careers will be saving you tens of thousands of dollars compared to a traditional legal search firm.

We are a niche job board for the law firms and only law firms are permitted to post on our site. No 3rd parties. No clutter. In addition, our powerful outreach (just like a traditional headhunter) proactively invites both active and passive candidates to apply to your jobs instead of waiting for them to search for you.

Instead of spending hours sourcing candidates, we reach out to attorneys and legal professionals and drive them directly to your openings. That means you can spend less time sourcing candidates and more time building candidate relationships.

There are a few to consider.

How many candidates are viewing your jobs and subsequently applying.

It is your choice how candidates apply. You can require candidates to apply on your website or via email.

If candidates apply to an email address, these candidates will be listed as ‘applicants.’

If candidates are redirected to your website and click the link provided on Lateral Careers, we will capture that information.

Lateral Careers doesn’t want to stand in the way of your recruitment efforts, and therefore candidates might also bypass all links and visit your webpage directly. We can’t provide information on this.
