General Information
Good question! Partly because there has traditionally been a nationwide shortage of a certain standard of lawyer, and secondly, because finding a new opportunity is not often simply a case of looking at online job boards. At any one time, there may be 6 or 7 vacancies for a particular area of the country, but we will know that there are a number of other law firms in that area have vacancies but not bothered continually advertising them. Firms do not always advertise new jobs; partly because they know that legal recruitment consultants can assist, and secondly because the cost of advertising is prohibitive for the return they will get. It can take 2-3 years to get a vacancy filled in some areas of the country.
