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.

I'm about to hire, and don't think I'll get anywhere without a headhunter. Am I completely off-base?
