Law Department Management Blog
Never having seen any data on the sources of new hires, I feel obliged to fabricate pseudo statistics:
48.37 percent of all new hires came to the attention of the general counsel from unsolicited resumes; 34.36 come from lawyers the general counsel knows personally; 12.4 percent from executive search firms; 8.23 percent from lawyers other lawyers in the department know, and 1.234 percent simply appeared on the headcount.
Please note that I have reported inflation-adjusted modal weighted moving average medians, with seasonal corrections and an emotional intelligence refraction index of 3.48, not to mention rounding off outlier percentages.
