Before You Hire Another Assistant, Read This

In Dallas, law firms are growing fast — and hiring fast. But before you post that job ad for another assistant, ask yourself:

Are you solving the right problem?

When You Don’t Need Another Hire:

• The real issue is poor workflows

• You haven’t documented existing processes

• No one is using your tech stack efficiently

• Your team is unclear on roles

Why Reactive Hiring Fails:

• Onboarding is rushed or skipped

• No KPIs or ROI tied to the new hire

• Adds chaos, not clarity

• Staff feels stretched, not supported

COO-Led Hiring Strategy:

• Clarifies whether a system, process, or a hire is the answer

• Defines the role and its success measures

• Supports onboarding and performance reviews

• Ensures your growth is intentional, not chaotic

Smart hiring starts with smart systems. In a high-growth market like Dallas, don’t default to more headcount — let’s create a real growth plan.
