Scale Up Counsel is a next-generation talent platform that connects law firms and companies with vetted lawyers through peer recommendations.
In a landscape where 73% of hiring professionals cite a lack of qualified applicants as their biggest challenge and only 10-15% of LinkedIn applicants meet role requirements, Scale Up Counsel is looking to outpace legal recruiting by leveraging the power of professional networks and domain expertise. Unlike traditional recruiting platforms that rely on generalist recruiters, Scale Up Counsel has built an invite-only community of experienced legal professionals who leverage their networks to recommend qualified candidates for open roles. This approach ensures hiring managers receive pre-vetted, tenured candidates personally vouched for by industry experts.
The traditional recruiting model is fundamentally broken. Hiring managers have always struggled with the flood of unqualified applications, but AI has dramatically worsened this problem. Now, candidates can use ChatGPT to generate perfect-looking resumes, leading to an overwhelming volume of seemingly qualified candidates who, in reality, don't match their listed credentials. AI will only make the recruiting market harder.
The platform stands out by offering significant financial incentives to its expert community, with members earning up to 50% of contingent search fees - ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 per successful placement. This innovative model ensures high-quality referrals while fairly compensating industry professionals for leveraging their networks and expertise. With thousands of lawyer members, Scale Up Counsel will accelerate time-to-hire by leveraging warm leads, bringing the most qualified, vetted applicants to the forefront, and placing them into positions, typically in 30 days or less.
As the number of customized outbound messages increases, the most qualified candidates are inundated and often unresponsive. The best candidates that ignore messages on LinkedIn from recruiters are hanging out with Scale Up Counsel members after work. We're solving this by building a curated community of industry leaders who actually know and can vouch for the talent they're referring. Our members will average 5+ years of experience in legal bringing both extensive networks and genuine judgment to the hiring process. This is something AI can't replicate.
Its rigorous vetting process for community members and candidate referrals sets Scale Up Counsel apart. While traditional platforms automatically route all applications to hiring managers, Scale Up Counsel implements a two-layer screening process. First, candidates must be recommended by verified community members. Then, Scale Up Counsel team conducts additional screening to ensure alignment with the role requirements before presenting candidates to hiring managers.
As we all get inundated by more and more communication, trusted recommendations from people we know can cut through. Scale Up Counsel brings this to recruiting in a powerful way.
Scale Up Counsel plans to expand its community of expert members, enhance its platform capabilities, and grow its team to serve more companies seeking high-quality talent.
