When Jodi Standke founded her own legal recruiting firm in 1999, she led the charge in shifting the hiring experience for law firms and corporate legal departments by addressing retention and attrition with a focus on culture matching. Nearly 30 years later, Standke is a go-to for legal recruiting. She continues to pioneer in the legal recruiting space by upgrading and advancing services that assist lawyers in finding their next top career path and helping organizations connect with the most suitable candidates using a process that considers personal interest and values as well as professional expertise. This year, Standke’s Minneapolis-based Talon Performance Group is prioritizing succession planning, helping retiring lawyers make the transition and helping organizations and corporate executive teams identify, interview, and select the right attorney to either fill a general counsel role or hire their first general counsel.
