Apply In-House

There's a little-known secret you need to know about in-house positions:

Going in-house requires you to speak with TONS of recruiters.

Why?

Because most searches for in-house positions are exclusive searches

ie: the company only uses one recruiting firm

That means you have to talk to numerous recruiters so they know who you are and what you're interested in. Or you have to hope they find you.

Or, you can create a free profile on ApplyInHouse.com and we'll introduce you to hundreds of legal recruiters instantly!

Create a profile

Here's How It Works

Create a Profile

All you need to do is upload your resume (make sure your email is on it)

Press "Go"

We share your profile with over 200 legal recruiters throughout the country. You want recruiters from across the US to have your resume because there are often remote positions and/or positions that offer relocation.

We do not share your name, current place of employment, phone number or email with them (yet) unless you select that option.

They View

If a recruiter is interested in seeing your full profile, they send you a request. You grant them permission (or not). Sounds like a dating app, right?

Your video

You have the option of creating a "virtual interview" to introduce yourself, explain your background and share what you're looking for.

The Advantage

You don't have to search for and email each legal recruiter individually. And, by recording your "virtual interview" you don't have to answer "tell me about yourself" time-and-time again with each recruiter. So you'll save a ton of time and recruiters should reach out to you for opportunities you're actually interested in!

The Cost

In a free account, your profile summary is sent along with others in a daily email to the recruiter network. Your identity remains confidential. This is ideal for passive jobseekers.

The optional $99 Resume Blast will share your resume and full contact information with the recruiter network. This is ideal for proactive jobseekers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do companies only use one recruiting firm?

Generally, companies will only use 1...maybe 2 recruiting firms to help them fill positions.

Just like your clients, companies value dealing with one primary point of contact that they like, trust, and who knows their company, culture and values.

Unfortunately, that means you, as the jobseeker, have to spend a lot of time talking to and sending your resume to recruiters.

Why can't I just wait for a recruiter to contact me?

You can wait for a recruiter to contact you. Or, you can be proactive and "introduce" yourself to an entire community of legal recruiters who are eager to help you.

What if I'm already working with a legal recruiter?

If you are searching for jobs at law firms, you really should only need one recruiter. If they don't have access to the whole market, they may not be the best "agent" to represent you. If you are looking for opportunities at other law firms, please visit www.VortexLegal.com

For in-house positions, however, you need to talk with as many recruiters as possible. There is no harm in sharing your resume more than once with a recruiter.

What information is shared with the recruiter network?

In the "standard" account, the only information shared with the recruiter network is the details of your job that's on your resume. So, it is best to be detailed and include as many keywords and relevant acronyms as possible.

Neither your current employer nor your personally identifiable information is provided until they request it, and you grant them permission to view it.

However, if you purchase the Resume Blast service, your entire resume and contact information will be shared with the network.

Why do I need to share my resume with recruiters in other states?

Some positions are remote...and many companies have numerous offices and offer relocation packages. So where a recruiter lives isn't relevant.

The more recruiters that know who you are, the more likely one of them will have an in-house position for you!

Is Apply In-House a recruiting firm?

Kind of. Apply In-House is the brainchild of Jonathan L. Broder, the founder of VortexLegal, a legal recruiting firm.

The staff at VortexLegal are able to see your full contact information and current employer and they may contact you to further discuss your career search, unless you opt out.

Where did the idea of Apply In-House come from?

Solutions are derived from inefficiencies

I started as a legal recruiter in 2007, so I've spoken with thousands of lawyers over the years.

During these calls, I always explain that if you are looking for law firm positions, you should only need to work with one recruiter. But I strongly believe you need to speak with as many recruiters as possible if you're trying to go in-house. The problem is, this is too time consuming and not realistic.

So I started Apply In-House to solve this problem!

I hope you enjoy our platform and find an amazing in-house position, whether it's through my company or one of the recruiters in our network!

If you think Apply In-House is valuable, please recommend us to your friends!

Thanks!
