After 2 weeks, if we don't have strong candidates emerging, we go to headhunters. The headhunters are not great for us, they tend to favor the firms with constant associate needs rather than folks like us, who hire two or three associates a year. We've gotten great candidates from minority bar association listings in particular.

If anyone knows of anyplace we should list let me know.

You should become a member of LCLD and nominate a Fellow (at least) each year. Once you're a member, you can post job listings within the organization and those go out every week.
