Hiring in a Law Firm Is Broken

A resume tells you where someone worked. It doesn't tell you if they'll crumble under deadline pressure, clash with your lead attorney, or quietly disengage after 90 days.

A tailor-made road map to your best era

Resumes Can't Fix It

Most law firms are hiring based on credentials and gut feeling. The result? Industry-wide, about half of all hires don't work out.

Every bad hire costs you money, time, client relationships, and team morale. In a small firm, one wrong person can throw off everything.

There's a better way to screen candidates before you make an offer.

A 15-Minute Assessment That Reveals What an Interview Can't

What A Resume Tells You

  • Where they worked
  • What they studied
  • Their job titles
  • Skills they claim

What Our Assessments Tell You

  • How they work with others
  • How they handle pressure
  • Whether they take accountability
  • How they actually communicate

Here's Exactly What You'll See for Every Candidate

Performance Insights

These key performance factors drive the overall screening score.

Using the four workplace insights that form the basis for essentially all human performance, the overall screening score is a reflection of these in combination. Remember, a Borderline (D Level) score should alert you to explore that particular area, which can be done using the associated interview questions.

Four Workplace Insights Excellent (A Level) Above Average (B Level) Average (C Level) Borderline (D Level)
Working Effectively with Others Connects with and support customers, co-workers, and managers/leaders
Getting Things Done Remains engaged and productive while under stress and pressure
Knowing What to Do Prioritize workplace activities, duties, and responsibilities
Personal Responsibility & Accountability Be responsible for one's own actions — not blame others for mistakes

A Satisfactory/Cautionary score on four critical factors: working with others, getting things done, knowing what to prioritize, and personal accountability

We Used These Assessments at Our Own Law Firm. Hiring Success Went from 50% to 80%.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a regular DISC test I can buy online?

Our assessments combine DISC with the Hartman Values Index, which measures decision-making quality and accountability. You also get tailored interview questions and development suggestions for every candidate — not just a personality profile.

Can I use this for existing employees, not just new hires?

Yes. The AI comparison tools in the portal are specifically designed for team dynamics — they analyze results across your team to identify compatibility strengths and potential friction points.

How long does the assessment take?

About 15 minutes. Results are available immediately.

What if someone gets a 'Cautionary' score — does that mean don't hire them?

No. It's a flag, not a disqualifier. Use the tailored interview questions to explore that area further before making your decision.

How much does it cost?

$100–$200 per assessment depending on type. No subscription or minimum purchase required.

Is this scientifically validated?

Yes. DISC is one of the most widely used behavioral tools worldwide. The Hartman Values Index is based on the research of Dr. Robert S. Hartman, whose work was nominated for a Nobel Prize.
