It is therefore vital that a clear strategy for selection interviewing is in place within your firm - one that will ensure the highest quality decision making is achieved to secure the right people the first time round.

Effective Selection Interviewing for Law Firms is written by Simon Nash, HR director at leading Channel Island firm Carey Olsen. Previously serving as HR director for some of the world's largest companies, he draws on best practice from across the corporate world and applies it directly to the very specific context of lawyer recruitment.
