Q1 2021 has been as busy at TRU as any in our history. We have filled more positions in Q1 2021 than in any Q1 in over ten years. Hiring speed has accelerated to unprecedented levels, with executive-level roles filling in three to six weeks and mid-market to entry-level positions filling in days. With hiring for most roles still being remote and anywhere in the country, the volume and availability of talent have made the hiring processes move at warp speed in verticals with need. Let’s be clear—there is no shortage of demand for e-discovery, data privacy and protection, and cybersecurity talent. Find out why below!
As always, our quarterly newsletter serves as a compendium for all TRU original content—and there was plenty of important news and original content delivered from us to you in Q1 2021. This quarter, TRU launched its tenth annual scholarship program, was ranked #175 by Inc. 5000 NY Metro, appeared on dozens of news broadcasts and webinars, and we have even more lined up for Q2 2021.

For six years running, TRU Staffing Partners has given Legaltech News an annual “Top Ten Predictions” for the legal technology job market in the year ahead. Last year’s predictions were right on target, heralding the normalization and increased utilization of contract and remote work-from-home staffing even before the pandemic hyper-accelerated those trends. This year, TRU foresees the continuation of the same, as well as a privacy program explosion, a greater emphasis on certification, and much more. Don’t miss out on a look into TRU’s crystal ball—read the full article HERE!
