Hiring Built Around Outcomes
Hire the Team That Will Actually Deliver Your Plan.
People+Plan goes beyond recruitment. We hire against the milestones your firm needs to hit, then stay involved long enough to make sure the new team gets there.
People+Plan = Talent Acquisition + Deliverable Outputs
Aligning Your Team with the Firm's Strategic Roadmap.
We don't just place candidates. We map every hire to a measurable outcome on your plan, and accept responsibility for the result, not just the placement.
Four Moving Parts. One Subscription.
Deliverable-Led Hiring
Every role we fill is tied to a specific output, not a generic JD. Performance is measurable from day one.
Talent That Fits the Goal
Sourcing, screening and on-boarding calibrated to your firm's culture, practice mix and growth stage.
Succession Plans for Key Positions
Build the bench for partner-track, practice-head and operations roles before you need to.
Workflow and Performance Tuning
After the hire, we help structure workflow, KPIs and review cadences so productivity compounds.
The Four-Step Engagement.
- Step 01
Discovery and Assessment
Discussions, interviews and culture mapping to understand the firm before we write a single brief.
- Step 02
Strategy and Planning
We translate your roadmap into a hiring plan with role priorities, sequencing and budget envelopes.
- Step 03
Source, Screen, Onboard
Targeted sourcing, structured interviews, references and a 90-day onboarding plan for every hire.
- Step 04
Output and Continuous Improvement
We stay engaged for two quarters post-hire to make sure outputs land, and replace any hire that doesn't.

- Senior partners planning succession or building a partner-track bench
How is this different from a regular recruitment firm?
Recruitment firms charge per placement and disappear after the offer letter. People+Plan ties hires to specific deliverables and stays engaged for two quarters to ensure outcomes.
What's the minimum number of hires?
There is no fixed minimum. Engagements are scoped around your goals, sometimes that is one senior hire, sometimes it is a full team build.
How does billing work?
A flat onboarding fee per engagement, paid upfront. We do not levy the standard 8.33% over-hire surcharge. If a hire doesn't work out within the guarantee period, we replace at no additional fee.
For which roles do you hire?
Across the firm, legal associates, paralegals, senior counsel, practice heads, business and operations roles, and back-office leadership.
Do you work as an RPO?
We can flex into RPO mode for high-volume mandates, but our default is the deliverable-led People+Plan engagement, which is a meaningfully different product.

About one in five inquiries ends with us recommending against engaging. We'll tell you that on the call rather than after a contract.
