Case Study: Clyde & Co reduces agency reliance and strengthens direct sourcing with Pirical

Clyde & Co cuts agency reliance to 20% with Pirical

Clyde & Co, a global law firm, aimed to increase its direct sourcing of lateral hires and reduce its heavy reliance on external recruitment agencies. To meet this challenge, the firm's recruitment team utilized Pirical Legal Professionals (PLP) from the vendor Pirical to build comprehensive talent pipelines and gather essential market intelligence.

Using Pirical's searchable database of legal professionals, the team created and refined candidate lists for key practice areas, enabling more internal sourcing. This solution resulted in a significant reduction in agency usage; at the non-Partner level, Clyde & Co reduced its reliance on agencies globally to around 20%, flipping the previous model. Pirical became a critical tool for the firm's recruitment workflow and strategic planning.
