THE NEED FOR IT PROFESSIONALS AND TECH SAVVY PARALEGALS ON THE RISE AT LAW FIRMS

It’s clear now that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we do business. Working from home, holding Zoom conferences, handling documents online, and e-filings have all had a profound impact on the way firms operate, and it’s beginning to shape the future of the legal sector. In February of this year, Team BRYTER wrote that in-house legal technology budgets will grow 200% by 2025.  As these departments become more and more dependent on technology to keep up the pace, the need for IT specialists and tech-savvy legal professionals will most likely skyrocket.

The Growing Landscape of E-Discovery

One specialty predicted to continue in high demand is e-discovery/litigation. As document formatting changes due to improvements in software, professionals who are well-acquainted with the latest in e-discovery and knowledgeable about file compatibility across different platforms will have a leg up against other candidates. A paralegal with a background in predictive coding and further analysis software might cut document review by hours and make for a highly valued prospect.

It’s All in the Cloud(s)

The move from local storage to cloud computing has created a whole new set of legal issues and responsibilities. The ability to share, organize, and privatize files on a company’s cloud is vital. Setting the appropriate permissions for access and maintaining healthy network security makes all the difference in protecting client privacy. On top of that, complex litigation and other regulatory issues can arise from improper data management, so keeping data on the cloud safe will only become more critical in the coming years.

Software Familiarity

Recruiters are always looking out for candidates with experience using legal research products such as Westlaw and Lexis. While potential employers expect proficiency in client software suites such as Microsoft Office, any knowledge of law practice management software such as Clio and PracticePanther will go a long way. As more software goes mobile, it’s not a bad idea to brush up on the various legal apps for phones and tablets out there.

 

Workflow, in general, will continue to embrace both automation and digitization, and having tech-friendly skills at hand will only help your chances on the market. By updating your skill set in these areas, you’ll raise your chances of success in the face of future tech innovations and a changing work environment. As an employer, knowing which candidates fit best in a tech-heavy climate will place you ahead of the curve.

 

We have been matching top companies with top talent in the Gulf Region for more than a decade. Our focus is on building long-term relationships with the companies we assist. Call us today at 888-366-6508. We can help you find the best candidate to join your legal or IT team or aid job seekers in finding the most appropriate position for their talents.

SRS Offers Free Resume Review to Legal and IT Professionals in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana

New Orleans, Louisiana, April 10, 2020

Responding to the direct need of thousands of workers being laid off throughout the Greater New Orleans area and Baton Rouge, Strategic Recruitment Solutions (‘SRS”) is offering a Free Professional Resume Review. The resume review specifically targets professionals in the legal and Informational Technology (IT) fields.

SRS, a leader in executive search solutions specializing in the Legal and IT fields, partners with most of the law firms and technology companies throughout the Gulf Coast region. That is why SRS can provide access to legal and IT jobs that are often not advertised on job boards, or even on a company’s website.

“Many people are being laid off or let go as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. We want to do our part to show we care and are here to help our community,” said Amy Shanks, director of the Louisiana Legal Division at SRS in New Orleans. “Our legal and IT recruiter teams in New Orleans and Baton Rouge are ready to review each resume and offer job seekers our suggestions for improvement. We want to ensure each resume we receive passes the six-second test.”

Most hiring managers make up their minds whether your resume merits a second look within six seconds or less. “That’s why the top of your resume is crucial”, Shanks said. It is vital that your resume is engaging and includes the most polished and concise presentation of your skills, education, goals, and experience. The legal and IT fields are always competitive. However, with the help of SRS’s experienced recruiters, your resume will stand out from the rest.

The Most Common Resume Mistakes

Resumes should be professional, formatted with visual attention-catching information, and be grammatically correct. Most importantly, your resume should focus on the exact requirements of the job position. “We want to make sure your resume highlights your career the way it should,” Shanks said. “We treat each resume as 100% confidential and will not share it outside of SRS.”

About Strategic Recruitment Solutions

For more than a decade, SRS has been helping job seekers find their ideal opportunity. Most importantly, we want to do our part in helping you find employment. If you are a top performer in the Legal Industry or Informational Technology, submit your resume today. Exceptional talent is in high demand at the top-performing companies and we can help you land your dream job.
