  Leopard Solutions has a history of working hard to offer their clients the best professional systems to aid them in legal recruitment.  Our products set a higher standard than any other service and our clients can attest to that fact.  Over the past year, our focus has grown to include providing free services to both legal recruiters and attorneys.  Our attorney website was designed to bring attorneys to the table, deliver important information and to bring attorneys and recruiters together.  Our free job board now has 2000 visitors per week, and attorneys are applying directly to recruiters for opportunities posted there.  The job board remains a FREE service for all to use – attorneys to search and recruiters to post.

Our goal is to be more than just a data provider. We are seeking to be the ONE place that attorneys, recruiters and law firms need to go for news, finding employment, reaching out to others and law firm information.  We continue to grow, adding value and important tools that both clients and guests can use.  Our law school project involves law schools around the country and brings their students and alumni to our site for research and job information.  Our attorney site helps attorneys research their moves and locate recruiters to aid them in their search.  The Leopard List, Leopard Job Search and Leopard Reporting help our clients in countless ways, and gives our clients back the valuable gift of TIME. We provide the job orders, research and attorneys they need to perform their job quickly and effectively at a cost savings our clients recognize early on. 

This week, we will be providing yet another FREE service to the industry.  No matter what your experience is, no matter how long you’ve been recruiting, there is always something new to learn.  If this downturn has taught the world anything, it’s that you must adapt to survive.  New methods should be explored, new streams of revenue discovered and new ways to conduct your business considered. 

On Wednesday, October 14th at 4:00 EDT, Leopard Solutions will be sponsoring a live webinar with recruiter trainer, Scott Love.  The topic will be, ‘How to Beat the Odds and Win Big in a Down Market’.  As a consultant and trainer to the industry, Scott has helped organizations gain better margins by improving their operational performance and client development strategies, and has helped recruiters to master the business and get better production with more peace of mind.

Leopard Solutions invites clients and special guests to attend the free session.  Clients will find login information on their user home page and guests can email us for login information. We hope that you’ll join us for the session and join our legal community by taking advantage of all we offer!

HOW TO BEAT THE ODDS AND WIN BIG IN A DOWN MARKET

What if there was a way to help insulate your desk from economic risk in how you do business? During lean times, the business is going to go to someone, but not everyone.  Will it go to you?  During this program, Scott Love will share a specific model of success during lean times in the recruiting and staffing business.

Tips For Job Interviewing

by Wendy Oliveras 13. October 2009 08:32
Interviewing for a job is very much like being on a blind date and meeting someone for the first time.  You do not know what to expect.  However, the formality of a job interview is much greater than an initial social meeting, but the idea is basically the same.  The purpose of a job interview, regardless of its nature, is for a prospective employer to have the opportunity to meet with you in person or to speak with you on the telephone in order to compare you to other potential candidates who are also applying for the same position.  This is why I highly recommend that your resume and interview preparation be made in advance.  Keep in mind that resumes containing grammatical errors are almost always immediately rejected, as well as showing up for your job interview late and inappropriately dressed can also validate a pass on your candidacy.  Notwithstanding, the following is an outline of useful tips to help can become a more confident applicant in your face-to-face or telephone interview.

TIPS - FACE-TO-FACE

    Make sure to practice interviewing prior to the interview.  Perhaps you can have mock interviews and involve your family or friends to help you practice your techniques.

    Do not leave your cell phone on.  Make sure that your cell is shut off prior to entering the office.

    Know your 30 second pitch.  At some point, you may need to explain why you are a perfect fit for the position.

    Dress for the job you want.

    Try to articulate your words and sentences as best as you can.  Try to avoid saying any slang words or phrases, such as “Yeah – instead of Yes”; “You know”; and “Umm”.

    Make sure you conduct your due diligence about the company before the interview.  If you do not know enough about the company, this may turn off to the interviewer.

    Do not talk too much about yourself and how great you think you are.  Allow the interviewer to talk and take the lead. 

    Don’t forget to follow up by sending a thank you note by email or letter. 

Alternatively, if you live in another state where the employer is located, some companies may opt for an initial telephone interview as phase 1 of their interview process.  If a telephone interview is requested, please do not assume that it is less challenging than a face-to-face interview.  Though a telephone interview may alleviate some anxiety about what to wear, there are still several guidelines I suggest you follow to help you conduct your telephone interview in a more professional manner.
