Legal recruitment resource centre for Irish law firms
Updated: 12 hours ago
Recruiting for a law firm involves more than publishing a vacancy. A clear brief, a realistic offer and a consistent selection process help both the firm and the candidate make an informed decision. This resource centre brings together Pembroke Legal’s practical guides for employers and applicants in Ireland.
Start with the hiring brief
Decide what work needs doing, who will supervise it and what package the firm can support. Separate essential experience from skills that can be developed. Our advertising and salary guides help turn that brief into a listing candidates can understand.
Assess candidates consistently
Use the same core criteria when reviewing CVs and conducting interviews. Prepare role-related questions, ask for anonymised examples and record the evidence behind the decision. The interview guides include an agenda and practical follow-up questions.
Manage the journey
Keep candidates informed, make the agreed terms clear and prepare the first month before the new colleague arrives. Use the platform FAQs for the practical steps of posting, applying and managing applications. These guides explain general recruitment practice; they do not replace advice on a particular legal or contractual question.
