Reach out to our team: Our Recruiters Sep 16, 2025 Smarter In-House Job Searching: How Lawyers Can Use AI Tools to Stand Out and Save Time By: Kaitlyn Hunter and Nancy Palermo with Contributions by Edwin Hopkins-Gillispie and Barry Parsons The legal job market has always been competitive, but today’s attorney candidates are navigating a landscape transformed by technology. Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a standard tool for both corporate employers and job seekers. Used wisely, it can help you accelerate your search, stand out in a crowded field, and tailor your applications in ways that weren’t possible even a few years ago. AI is not a silver bullet and won’t land you a job on its own. What it can do is act as a powerful aid. Think of it as a co-pilot in your in-house search. As with any tool, you need to use it thoughtfully, ethically, and with your own judgment. Why AI Matters in Your In-House Job Search In today’s job market, companies are flooded with applications, in turn causing them to use AI to help sort, screen, and evaluate candidates. According to a recent Resume Builder survey, 83% of companies use AI to screen resumes, but only about 18% of job seekers report using AI tools like ChatGPT to help prepare their materials. That means AI is shaping the process from both sides of the table. So, if you want to compete, you need to understand how these tools work and how to use them to your advantage. How Corporate Employers Are Using AI Before exploring how attorneys can leverage AI, it’s worth understanding how companies already use it: Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS): T hese platforms scan resumes for key words and skills, rank applicants, and often remove those who don’t meet predefined criteria before a human recruiter ever sees them. Online tools like Jobscan or ResumeWorded can help you test how well your resume matches a job description. Candidate Sourcing and Matching: Platforms like LinkedIn Recruiter use AI to scan job boards and match candidates to openings based on skills. Chatbots: Many employers now use AI-powered chatbots to screen candidates, schedule interviews, and answer FAQs. Some are obviously automated, while others can mimic human conversation remarkably well. Despite these technologies, humans still make the ultimate decisions. Recruiters and attorney hiring managers review resumes, decide who to interview, and evaluate fit. You must optimize your materials for both machines and humans , but more importantly, your personal connections within an organization and interview performance will go further than any AI tool. How Attorney Candidates Can Use AI Used strategically, AI can make your job search more efficient and more effective. Here are five key areas where it can help: Resume and Cover Letter Creation AI can refine your resume and cover letters by helping you: Proof for typos, inconsistencies, or grammatical errors. Translate jargon or technical skills into plain language. Tailor your materials to specific job descriptions. For example, instead of “Drafted and negotiated commercial contracts,” AI might suggest: “Drafted and reviewed commercial vendor contracts and sales agreements, supported contract negotiation processes, and coordinated cross-functional communication with internal teams and external partners.” Writing assistants like Jasper, Quillbot, and Rezi can help with phrasing, formatting, and ATS optimization. Always personalize and fact-check. AI is a starting point, not a final draft. Interview Preparation AI can generate potential interview questions based on a job description, including both technical and behavioral prompts. It can also suggest strong sample answers, create industry-specific question sets, and even provide questions to ask interviewers. Some tools allow you to practice by speaking your answers aloud and receive instant feedback on tone, clarity, and structure. This is a strong starting point but practicing with a friend or family member to avoid sounding too rehearsed or as though you are reading from a script is the best method. Company and Role Research Need to prepare for a meeting or interview? AI can quickly summarize a company’s mission, values, and recent news. This gives you a head start, but you should always confirm insights with human sources or the information on the company’s website. LinkedIn Optimization Your LinkedIn profile is often the first place recruiters look. AI can help you: Compare job descriptions across companies and extract the most common requirements. Rewrite your “About” section to highlight accomplishments and leadership. Suggest stronger headlines, bullet points, or outreach messages. Tailor your profile for visibility in LinkedIn’s search algorithm. Beyond writing support, AI can guide your content strategy: posting consistently, engaging with peers, and sharing authentic insights. Job Search Strategy AI can act as your career coach, helping you: Identify gaps between your experience and a job description. Draft networking scripts for different scenarios (cold outreach, reconnecting with contacts, following up after events). Create and refine your 2-minute elevator pitch. Set weekly job search goals and track progress. Again, AI is a starting point. Review for accuracy and make sure the content reflects your own voice. Risks to Be Aware Of Like any tool, AI comes with risks for both employers and attorney candidates. For Employers AI can unintentionally replicate or amplify bias if it’s trained on flawed data. Some states have already passed laws requiring bias audits and disclosures. Employers must be transparent when AI is being used, monitor developments, prepare for audits, and most importantly, ensure human oversight. For Job Seekers Candidates face different risks, including: Misrepresentation: AI-generated content that inflates experience or fabricates skills. Privacy Concerns: Uploading resumes or personal information into public AI tools without knowing how the data is stored or shared. Overreliance: Believing flawed job-matching tools over your own judgment. Detection Software: Some employers now use AI to flag AI-written applications, raising credibility issues. Always review, personalize, and own your materials. AI should enhance your voice, not replace it. Final Takeaways AI won’t get you a job, but used wisely, it can make you faster, sharper, and more prepared. It’s a tool that can help you focus on what really matters: building relationships, telling your story, and demonstrating the unique value you bring. Experiment with different tools, stay aware of the risks, and always keep authenticity at the center. The job search process is still, and will always be, about people.

Your search firm should reflect the same professional standards you uphold with your clients. Let Garrison handle your lateral partner recruitment. 8. Getting over the finish line Even once a partner accepts, there’s still the possibility of counter-offers, cold feet, or other unexpected complications that can undermine the deal. We understand the nuances of making a move and the deep level of trust we develop with candidates makes an important difference. We are skilled at helping partners address issues such as giving notice effectively, handling counter-offers, and ultimately making the transition with minimal disruption. We address some of these issues early in the process, ensuring they are anticipated and dealt with appropriately if they develop. 2. Reflecting your brand in the market When working on your search, we positively project your firm’s image and brand. Partners consistently tell us, “I never call recruiters back, but your approach was so refreshing I had to return your call.” Based on many years of experience, we know what stands out from the noise and resonates with partners, especially those who may not be actively looking. When a partner receives a call from Garrison, they likely know our firm and reputation for selectivity. The fact that we are conducting a search on your behalf reflects our belief in the quality of the opportunity, and this is consistently reinforced through our approach. Recruiting Partners and Groups < Back to For Employers 1. Designing the strongest search narrative The partners you seek are contacted multiple times a week by multiple firms and the outreaches begin to all sound the same. This is where we are different. We have learned that the most important ingredients for attracting a lateral partner are a strong strategic vision and a well-articulated search narrative. Marketing a search to lateral partners is much different than marketing your law firm services to clients, and we are experts in knowing what resonates with your target partners. To develop the strongest narrative, we go beyond “why are you looking?” and uncover selling points that will better position you in the market. Our detailed and comprehensive approach stands out and maximizes the likelihood of a favorable response. 5. Transparency and efficiency We are straight shooters, which ensures that we aren’t time wasters. We tell you the good, bad and sometimes ugly, all with a goal towards maximizing your efforts. While some search firms avoid uncomfortable conversations, we view them as essential. We will help you avoid embarking on searches without a realistic sense of the market and your likelihood of success. Our approach enables you to make the smartest business decisions when it comes to investing your time and resources. 3. Access to the “invisible partner market” From our many years in the market, we have a broad network of partners and trusted relationships at high levels. Some of these partners are not actively in the market and don’t respond to recruiter outreach - but they do trust us to quietly inform them of certain standout opportunities. 6. Responsiveness and clear expectations From the moment we begin working together, you will realize that responsiveness and clear communication are woven into everything we do. We are always available, including evenings and weekends, and our response time is usually within a couple of hours. We also set expectations in terms of search updates and check-ins and keep you well informed at every stage. 4. Highest likelihood of success We are always gratified to hear comments such as, “We tried this search in the past, and the difference is night and day. We have never received as many meetings.” While we cannot guarantee a placement for every search, we do guarantee that our proven approach will provide you the highest likelihood of success.
