Why Applying to Firms Without Openings Can Land Your Dream Role

The Secret Job Market Few Attorneys Access

Most lawyers rely on job boards or firm postings to find opportunities—but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Many firms never post open positions because they prefer to hire quietly or already have trusted recruiters they work with. Some roles are created only when the right candidate appears. That means waiting for a posting could mean missing out entirely.

  
What
Where


By applying to firms even when no openings are listed, attorneys put themselves at the front of the line when a position suddenly becomes available. Instead of competing with hundreds of applicants after a job goes public, they may become the only candidate under consideration.

Why This Approach Works

  • First Dibs on New Roles: Reach firms before a job is public.
  • Little to No Competition: Stand out when there’s no crowd of applicants.
  • Opens Doors to Hidden Demand: Some firms create roles for standout candidates.
  • Builds Long-Term Relationships: Establish connections that can lead to future offers.
