BENEFITS OF CANDIDATE FOCUSED LEGAL RECRUITING
-
Brandon, Pathfinder’s Founder, shares the same experiences as the candidates he seeks to place.
He graduated with honors from a Top 20 law school, is licensed to practice law in New York and Florida, and lateraled from an Am Law Top 200 firm to an Am Law Top 5 firm after his second year of practice.
Brandon leverages this experience and his connections in Big Law to assist candidates and law firms in achieving their respective career and recruiting goals.
-
Pathfinder owns 10+ years of law firm data covering 1,000+ firms. This data includes partner promotions, lateral retention rates, salaries, overall growth, and more.
We break the data down by region and practice area so candidates have access to the best information for their decisions.
For example, we can show which firm promoted the most litigation partners in NYC over the last 10+ years. We believe candidates need information like this to make the best choice for them.
-
We provide unique monthly market reports for each associate. These reports include recent laterals, salary changes, job openings, and promotions for your practice area and region.

“In order to grow, you must give up the struggle to remain the same, and learn to embrace change at all times.”
