Culture Index Survey: Submit candidates to the client without requiring the survey upfront. Once the client expresses interest in interviewing a candidate, have the candidate complete the Culture Index Survey before scheduling the first interview. They do not interview candidates who have not completed the survey (this survey identifies intrinsic traits and work habits – it shows us strengths and weaknesses, but specifically shows us how to best communicate, mentor and support our employees. For attorneys specifically, we identify where they are the strongest and weakest in their work habits so that we may pair them with a team to best support them and set them up for success. This system has revolutionized our recruiting and hiring process for the better.)
