Common Questions.
Answers about Lateral Careers, a platform built exclusively for law firms and legal professionals.
Comprehensive solutions for law firms looking to streamline their lateral recruitment and reach high-caliber talent.
The Lateral Difference
Lateral Careers is a platform built exclusively for law firms to post job opportunities. We combine organic discovery with targeted outreach to both active and passive lateral talent. Leveraging our proprietary database, we transform your open roles into precision-targeted awareness campaigns delivered to carefully selected attorneys across a curated network of legal professionals. Your firm maintains full ownership of the hiring process from the first interaction. We eliminate third parties along with the noise and clutter of general job boards.
Search Firm or Headhunter?
Neither. We are a niche marketplace for lateral openings, providing law firms high-impact visibility for their jobs coupled with our proactive outreach.
Pricing Structure
We keep it simple — four automatically recurring subscription options. Our platform provides continuous brand awareness, a premium environment to showcase your opportunities, organic traffic, and proactive outreach to qualified attorneys.
Free Trial?
We do not offer a free trial because the recruiting lifecycle does not lend itself to one. Our plans are designed to deliver full value from day one.
Measured Results & Visibility
We provide transparency through job posting views, application tracking, and URL redirects. With thousands of legal professionals visiting our site, your roles benefit from continuous brand engagement and precision-targeted awareness campaigns.
Note: Candidates may bypass links that are provided via our outreach, and visit your site directly; that traffic cannot be tracked.
How to Post a Job
- Navigate to Dashboard > View & Post Jobs.
- Click Add Job and enter details for high-impact visibility.
- Set Automatically Repost to keep your listing at the top of organic results.
- Confirm the destination email or Applicant Redirect URL and click Post Job.
Your subscription automatically renews even if no job is posted or set to repost. Please cancel your subscription if you do not wish to continue paying.
Team Efficiency & Multi-User Access
Your team can manage listings collaboratively. Add unlimited user accounts via My Account > Users to allow your recruiting team to post roles, edit company profiles, and track applicants in one centralized dashboard.
Unlimited Talent Acquisition
Eliminate the need to prioritize your hiring based on cost. Our Unlimited Plan offers a comprehensive solution for firms of all sizes, allowing you to list every open role across every practice group. Scale your recruitment efforts from one to one hundred without added complexity.
Auto-Renewal Policy
To ensure uninterrupted service and listing visibility, all packages are recurring and will automatically renew each month even if no jobs are actively posted. This ensures your firm maintains a continuous presence in our marketplace.
How to Cancel & Refund Policy
You may cancel at any time via My Account > Payment Settings. Under 'Recurring Packages,' click Edit then Delete.
Cancellation: Upon cancellation, you will maintain full platform access until the end of your current billing cycle.
Refunds: We do not offer prorated refunds for mid-cycle cancellations.
Direct Application Workflow
We prioritize a "zero friction" environment. Candidates apply directly to your firm, either via our platform or through a redirect to your own career site. In some cases, candidates may bypass our platform entirely and apply directly through your website. You own the relationship and the data from the very first click.
Who is the Audience?
Our audience consists exclusively of practicing attorneys and law firm professionals. By maintaining a niche focus, we ensure your opportunities circulate within a curated professional network rather than a broad, general audience.
We create a zero-friction environment for job seekers. No account is required to search and apply.
Search Firm or Headhunter?
Neither. We are a platform exclusive for law firms to post opportunities, and in turn for job seekers to search for on-point jobs and apply directly to law firms. We do not receive a fee for any placement. We generate revenue from law firms who subscribe to Lateral Careers. This is a monthly recurring fee and the only revenue stream we collect.
Job Accuracy?
The jobs are real, and we monitor them as best we can to ensure accuracy. Law firms will have you apply either via email (through our platform), or you will be redirected to the firm's site to apply.
Law Firm Exclusivity
LateralCareers.com is for law firms only to post job opportunities.
Confidentiality & Data
- Searching without an account or without signing in means we do not track personal information.
- If logged in, we may track limited activity such as email applications or redirects when you click Apply.
- We do not share your personal information with anyone.
- When you email your application to an employer through LateralCareers.com, the information that you provide in that application is sent directly to the hiring manager of that employer.
Does Lateral Careers get involved in any part of the process?
LateralCareers.com is a platform for law firms to post jobs and legal professionals to search for jobs. Beyond these functions, we do not participate in any part of the hiring process.
Is there a fee for Job Seekers?
Never. Our platform is free for all job seekers to search openings. We generate revenue exclusively through employer subscriptions, ensuring our interests are aligned with your career advancement.
