Are you looking for a senior manager or leader for compliance, financial crime, risk, legal or finance in your business? These are critical hires and can make a huge difference to the success of the company overall. Candidates like these don't tend to just turn up - it requires networking, skill and knowledge to find the best match for you. This is where we can add huge value - check out our video below to find out from Quentin how we can help with senior-level hires. #hiring #talent #leadership

Companies should interview General Counsel by sending the following email: Scope: Here’s a vague fact pattern. Legacy (and outdated) contract attached. Lots of grey issues. Lots of risk - privacy, regulatory, and financial. Little explanation. Need a quick turnaround. CEO wants to move forward. Assignment: Provide a response. Timer: 1 hour. This would cut out 5 redundant rounds of interviews. Minimize the internal burden. Expedite the decision. And improve hit rate. You either have the chops or don’t. #generalcounsel #hiring #ceo

#ExecutiveJobTitles. A topic that repeatedly comes up is quantifying your experience when your job titles don't truly describe the size or impact of your leadership. Job titles can mean different things at different companies depending on the size/structure. At one company, you might be a "Deputy General Counsel," and at another company you might be a "VP of Legal." Or, in a heavily matrixed organization, you might be a "Director," yet that role is leading an entire business unit and you're on the executive leadership team for that business unit. I've seen situations where a client is the "VP of Operations" and the de facto COO, yet doesn't actually hold the COO title because there hasn't been a designated title given. This has also happened to a client who was an SVP of Engineering (and the highest tech executive in the company where there wasn't a designated CTO). The key is to quantify your experience by explaining what that title means in that specific company and further detailing your experience and leadership oversight, including the reporting structure. It's imperative to showcase the growth of your role over time -- increased responsibilities, increased team leadership, and increased budget oversight are ways to showcase it. For reference, I have an article in Above the Law that discusses this common occurrence within the in-house world: https://lnkd.in/gz-BMw_7 It also provides instructive and actionable advice on how to leverage things in your resume and LinkedIn profile. Many of these strategies are applicable to non-legal executives as well. #inhousecounsel #jobtitles #generalcounsel #executivesearch #resumetips

𝗜𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗹 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲? I've seen both sides of this question. Hiring exceptional general counsel and in-house counsel isn't simply a matter of intuition or networking. Nor is it a purely rational process of data and methodology. The art lies in discerning a candidate’s deeper qualities: their motivation, personality, and vision for the role. It also involves understanding an organization's distinctive culture and how the candidate can complement it. The science aspect involves diligent research and strategic networking, using proprietary and public databases, and analyzing market data and compensation trends to pinpoint ideal candidates. This leads to well-informed, strategic hiring decisions. Successful legal talent acquisition combines both art and science. It requires deeply knowing people and effectively using data. I see art as the destination and science as the route to get there. The two work hand-in-hand. My role as a legal executive search professional sits at the heart of this combination. At Major, Lindsey & Africa, my team and I do more than fill positions. We help businesses grow and transform with strategic GC and in-house counsel hires. We match companies with leaders who shape their future and align with their values. 🤝 Is your legal team ready for such a transformative leader?
