Axiom's New Permanent Recruitment Solutions Now Available in the UK
"Our new recruitment solutions help our clients overcome long-standing challenges in legal hiring, such as prolonged timelines, uncertainty about fit, and difficulty in finding the right talent," said Sara Morgan, Chief Talent Officer for Legal Talent. "We have thousands of world-class lawyers on our bench across 14 practice areas. We believe we hire more legal talent than anyone else in the world—including traditional recruiters—so we have unique expertise in legal recruiting beyond corporate HR teams and executive search firms. Our new recruitment solutions build on our longstanding leadership in the legal talent marketplace with truly fantastic talent, creating additional value and flexibility for in-house teams."
Axiom's recruitment solutions give clients two easy ways to rapidly find and hire permanent placements. Both solutions capitalize on Axiom's expansive talent network, benefit from Axiom's legal industry expertise, and help address unique requirements associated with legal recruiting.
The hiring challenge is real. Employers estimate the total cost to hire a new employee can be three to four times the position's salary, and that it costs a company six to nine months of an employee's salary to replace them, according to a report by The Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM). And when a bad hire turns over, the total cost—including lost training, lost productivity, and the time managers invest in supporting HR-specific roles of the hiring process—is typically about 40% of the individual's salary.1
Upping those costs: delays in hiring for professional roles exacerbated by job market trends. Applications per job opening across both business and technical roles have tripled since 2021, overwhelming recruiters and extending an already painfully long recruiting cycle.2 From January 2021 to January 2024, growth in job applications that HR recruiters must plod through has grown 207% for business roles and 161% for technical roles.3
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, satisfaction with HR services is inconsistent. It's swung wildly since 2014 from a low industry average Net Promoter® Score (NPS) of 8 ("good") to a high of 46 ("favourable"). But in that same 10 year period, not once has it approached Axiom's current legal services industry-leading talent NPS of 68, which lands Axiom at the high end of the "excellent" category.4, 5
"Clients asked and we're answering with innovative solutions they need today," said Leslie Diorio, Vice President of Talent Recruiting at Axiom. "With Axiom's recruitment solutions, clients don't have to endure the long waits, countless interviews, and complexity of recruiting a permanent hire, or worry about the downstream issues that can come with hiring the wrong candidate. They can benefit from our deep expertise in recruiting, vetting, and placing high-calibre lawyers across 14 practice areas and every major industry to make hiring faster and easier than ever. Today's Axiom is the legal department's one-stop-shop for getting the outstanding talent they need, when and where they need it, to achieve their goals."
Daniel Hayter, Vice President and Managing Director of Axiom London, agrees: "Axiom is delighted to bring recruitment solutions to our customers in the UK, which is our second largest market outside of North America. In the UK's highly competitive market, Axiom's recruitment solutions will help our clients source the very best legal talent across 14 practice areas and every level of experience they need.
