Niche board Flo Recruit publicly announced Forward, the legal career platform where 10,000 law students are now navigating BigLaw recruitment. Flo Recruit Forward brings job listings, applications, networking, and interviews hosted by law firms and law schools onto one platform, helping students find the right jobs in an increasingly decentralized hiring process.
“In the past few years, law firms started hiring more students through online applications, networking events, their own screener programs…in addition to traditional campus interviews,” said Katherine Allen, Co-Founder and CEO. “Competitive candidates have to wade through all these channels in their first year of law school, so we’ve brought them into one place.”
Features and benefits of Forward include:
-Dashboard for tracking applications and event/interview schedules
-Job Board featuring 500+ 1L and 2L summer associate listings annually
-Event Board registration for local and virtual networking opportunities
-Firm Profiles with details to help students differentiate between firms
“Forward is a game-changer in making the recruiting process more streamlined,” said Elizabeth Granlund, Employer Relations and Recruitment Programs Manager in the Career Development Office of UC Berkeley School of Law. “Only Flo Recruit can pull school and firm recruiting data into one platform, which ultimately brings much needed transparency for our students.”
Flo Recruit Forward started building its user base in 2023 and already has over 10,000 law student users, including 70% of the Class of 2026 at the elite T15 law schools. Forward’s fifty early law firm partners, including 90% of Vault top 10 ranked firms, have added Firm Profiles to the platform to better educate students on their hiring programs.
