Senior Manager of Partner Recruiting
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to map content to these headings appropriately. The posting includes:
- About the role: maybe "Why Seyfarth" and "The Opportunity". Could be "About the role" heading.
- Responsibilities: "The Day-To-Day" bullet list.
- Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: "You Have" includes experience, education, network, etc. Could split into Requirements (minimum experience, education), Qualifications (preferred), Skills (knowledge, abilities). But we should only include sections if there is real specific content. We can combine maybe.
- Benefits: "What We Provide" includes competitive salary and benefits, culture, etc. Also later benefits: paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, 401(k). So Benefits section.
- Pay: salary ranges for LA and SF.
- Schedule: maybe mention flexible work schedule, occasional travel, extended hours. That's in "You Have": Ability to accommodate a flexible work schedule that will occasionally require travel and extended hours. So we can put Schedule.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal disclaimer, location specific language about fair chance, etc. Remove those. Also remove navigation, cookie, etc. Also remove "More About Seyfarth" maybe not needed if not a heading; but we could incorporate into About the role? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly Skills not needed if covered.
We must not repeat job title. Use for each section heading.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details from the posting, but we can format as lists.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not include headings with empty content.
Let's extract substantive content:
From "Why Seyfarth":
- "we understand that great people are the key to our success, and we provide the opportunities to match."
- "If you join us, you’ll work with state-of-the-art technology in a friendly and professional environment, and we will continue to invest in your professional development."
- "If you want the freedom to grow at a firm that is invested in your future, keep reading."
That's prose.
"The Opportunity":
- "As the Senior Manager of Partner Recruiting, you will oversee and manage the recruitment, onboarding and integration for all lateral partners in the firm’s West Coast offices."
- "You will report to the Senior Director of Legal Recruiting and work closely with Department Chairs, Office Managing Partners and other stakeholders in the assigned offices to identify, assess and recruit lateral partners and groups, in alignment with the firm’s lateral hiring priorities and growth strategy."
"The Day-To-Day": list of duties (each sentence seems a duty). We'll convert each to
- .
"You Have": list of requirements/qualifications/skills.
Let's parse "You Have":
- Minimum of 6+ years of legal recruiting/talent management experience in a law firm or other professional services setting, including experience with lateral partner recruiting, required.
- Bachelor's Degree Required; J.D. Preferred.
- Existing network of relationships with productive recruiters and search firms at the partner candidate level required.
- Prior experience managing direct reports strongly preferred.
- A strong knowledge of the legal market and relationships in legal professional groups and other organizations related to the legal industry.
- Sophisticated strategic and analytical thinking, drive, initiative, and demonstrated problem-solving ability required.
- Effective client service skills, with proven organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to prioritize and multi-task effectively.
- Excellent oral and written communication skills, including strong interpersonal skills and the ability to interact effectively with stakeholders and candidates at all levels.
- Proficiency in the use of computer programs, including Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), and legal recruiting databases and applicant tracking programs (e.g., LawCruit, viDesktop, Firm Prospects, etc.).
- Ability to accommodate a flexible work schedule that will occasionally require travel and extended hours.
- Ability to exercise good judgment and to recognize and treat confidential information in a professional manner.
We can split: Requirements (minimum experience, education, network, maybe managing direct reports). Qualifications (preferred items). Skills (knowledge, strategic thinking, client service, communication, proficiency, judgment). But we can also just have one Requirements section with all. However instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We can put all "You Have" items under Requirements as a list.
"What We Provide":
- "Seyfarth provides competitive salary and benefits at all levels, and our culture embraces the entrepreneurial spirit of its professionals like no other firm."
- "Our professional staff are a collaborative team, helping to define the unique client experience offered by the firm."
- "We understand that it takes more than attorneys to build a successful legal practice; everyone participates in our commitment to excellence."
Later: "We offer a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, and 401(k)."
Also: "This job is also eligible for an annual merit increase and bonus pay."
We can combine.
Pay: salary ranges: LA and SF both $175,000 to $200,000 annually based on 40-hour work week. Also note merit increase and bonus pay.
Schedule: flexible work schedule, occasional travel, extended hours.
We must not include location specifics like addresses? The posting includes "This position is based in Los Angeles, CA 90067 This position is based in Los Angeles, CA 90017 This position is based in San Francisco, CA 94105". That's location info. Should we keep? It's substantive. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? But we have no heading for Location. Could include in About the role paragraph. Or we could add a short p with location info. Since we don't have a heading for location, we can embed in About the role.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, fair chance language, legal disclaimer, etc. Also remove "More About Seyfarth" maybe not needed but could be part of About the role. However "More About Seyfarth" includes description of firm size and services. That's substantive. We'll keep.
Thus About the role section will combine: Why Seyfarth, The Opportunity, More About Seyfarth, location.
Let's craft:
