“I don’t have Educational bias.” I can’t tell you how happy I was to hear a client (with fantastic Big-Law & impressive academic credentials) say this, earlier in the week! It’s so frustrating when asked to limit the candidate pool to those who studied at a top law school. University choice doesn’t tell you the full story, but a good recruiter will! 😉 I often ask candidates how they picked which law school to attend, responses vary: ✏ Offered a free ride at XXX so took it!! ✏ Had a sick relative/ caring responsibility so opted to stay close to the family home. ✏ Family affiliation with XXX institution. ✏ Really liked the ethos! ✏ Strong fit with sports interests. As we keep striving for diverse teams, diversity of thought and a more diverse workforce, I hope more hiring managers see the bigger picture & stop limiting candidate pools by law school attendance. #lawschoollife #diversetalent #diverseworkforce #inclusiveleadership #recruiterlife

📣 Compliance Update 📣 "Los Angeles Announces New Fair Chance Ordinance" Los Angeles has unveiled a new Fair Chance Ordinance aimed at enhancing employment opportunities for individuals with prior criminal records.
