5 top law firms like White & Case and Mayer Brown run through their summer associate recruitment plans, from using '3D resumes' to expanding the schools they're considering candidates from

Susanne Schaeffer, attorney recruitment manager at Mayer Brown.Susanne Schaeffer, attorney recruitment manager at Mayer Brown, said that the firm is likely participating in more campus OCIs this year now that most of them are going virtual. Typically the firm attends around 38 schools. This year, Schaeffer told Business Insider that it has 42 OCIs on its roster, and are collecting resumes from an additional 12 schools.

A primary way that Mayer Brown is reaching out to students is by organizing meet-and-greet breakout rooms over Zoom, where two to three students can go in and out of virtual rooms and meet different attorneys.

SMH. I was a very successful attorney recruiter for some of the best L.A. law firms and you really only need time, a phone and a slew of resumes, which flood in each day. It's not that difficult to find great talent and anything else, is just extra.
