I have been using AvaHR to create my culture profile and I have noticed a huge increase in applicants. It has given the firm an identity on the job boards and helped me connect with great candidates.
Nina J. · Anaheim, CAGetting jobs onto individual job boards used to be difficult. I would get so frustrated I would dread hiring. Now I build and post jobs in less than 30 minutes and send them everywhere.
Michael G. · Denver, COI used to keep all my applicant information in Excel. Now I track applicants and their résumés in one place, and my coworkers can get to it too.
Alyssa R. · Nashville, TNBefore AvaHR it was hard to keep track of applicants as they came in. Now they are in a central location and easy to rank. The custom scorecards make finding the best applicant for my firm so easy.
Kristen M. · Buffalo, NYStart from something that already works.
Keyword-optimized job postings rank higher and get seen by more legal professionals. Start from a proven template rather than a blank page.

Still deciding? A specialist who has set this up for businesses like yours will walk the whole flow with you.
How long does it take to get a paralegal or legal assistant role posted?
Minutes. Start from a job description template, adjust the pay range and requirements, and publish. AvaHR formats the post the way each of the 100+ boards expects, including Indeed, ZipRecruiter and the legal boards paralegals actually check.
Can I screen for paralegal certification and practice area experience before I call anyone?
Yes. Knockout questions auto-decline anyone missing a requirement you set, and custom questionnaires ask the rest up front: certification held, practice areas worked, e-filing and case management systems, and whether they can pass a conflicts check. You see the answers on the profile before you pick up the phone.
Do candidates need to create an account to apply?
No. Applying takes under three minutes on a phone with no login, and the résumé is parsed into skills, history and contact details automatically. That matters here, where most applications happen from a phone outside office hours.
Can my managing partner and office administrator see candidates too?
Everyone works the same pipeline. Notes, scorecards and @mentions live on the candidate, so nobody double-calls the same person and nobody goes cold because two people each assumed the other had it handled.
Can partners weigh in without learning a new system?
They rate the candidate on a scorecard and that is it. Each interviewer scores independently against the same criteria, and the scores roll up so you can see where the partners actually disagree.
