Partial transcript:

- Hey Molly, thank you so much for joining us for this fun Zoom interview. I wanted you to just quickly introduce yourself so our viewers can understand who you are and your company and how you help elder law and estate attorneys.

- Yes, thank you for having me. I'm so excited to be here today. My name is Molly McGrath and I am a co founder of a company called Hiring and Empowering Solutions. And I've been serving estate planning and elder law space by and large since 1997. And I started out like many of your employees currently are sitting in this space of I was an employee for a national organization that served for estate planning and elder laws, and through the journey of starting out as a practiced development coach, I had the absolute honor to be able to serve estate planning and elder law attorneys. We would go to national conferences across the country and attend and speak. And after we were done speaking, we would have attorneys just hammering us in the hallway and say how can we clone you? How can we hire people that have the mindset, the emotional intelligence, the intrapreneurship, that terminology that we coin that really care as much about our business as you do about your organization that you're serving in.

- Awesome, so you really help with estate planning and elder law attorneys hire and train their staff, right?

- Yes, yes. We start, and our process is a little unique. We not only do the hiring and the placement process, but we do the consulting and the coaching along the way. As many small solo law firms, it's very scary to hire your first employee or your 10th employee, because the average hire I saw an article recently, average bad hire costs $43,000 a year. And making that investment and bringing someone in and integrating them into the folds of your personal service business only for them to either not work out, if either they leave or you have to fire them, can be not only devastational to your practice but also very very costly. So our process is because we've sat on the inside of so many law firms, either from the hiring or the coaching or the consulting side from being a national organization, sort of through our own business, we know what it's like to sit in the employee seat as well as the entrepreneur and the attorney's seat. So we feel like we really bring that unique perspective there to be able to make that smart hire, bring them on, and then what we also do is the consulting side of them. Make certain that they have the mindset, that they understand the attorney team mindset necessary to grow in extraordinary practice.

- Yeah, and one of the things that we always say, cause we're working with small and solo practices most of the time as well, some of the law firms are really fresh, and so basically it's the attorney doing everything, right? They might have a receptionist, like a ruby receptionist or something like that to take calls. At what point do you find it to be beneficial for the attorney to go, "you know what? It's time for my first hire." How does that process go?
