It’s not every day that an Am Law 100 law firm tries a new recruiting strategy that actually pays off, but Kilpatrick, Townsend & Stockton did just that recently with its summer associates program.
While the summer program itself didn’t change much, the firm drastically overhauled the way it selects its summer associates. Instead of bringing them back just for individual interviews, the firm brings all the finalists together over a weekend for a series of tasks. The young candidates who do especially well at them are offered summer positions. Kilpatrick’s summer associates seemed to like the result: The Atlanta-based firm recently jumped to third in our 2015 Summer Associate Satisfaction Survey, up from 27th place last year.
