Your bench is deep and your inbox is full of CVs. What runs a recruiting desk dry is not supply, it is demand: live job orders you can actually submit against.

Competitor pricing and terms are buyer-reported and change often. LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiter and Bullhorn do not publish fixed pricing, so figures are approximate ranges, not official quotes. Features change; the structural point does not: they sell you candidates and outreach per seat, they do not hand you live legal job orders. LegalAlphabet numbers are live and update daily. Our edge is legal focus, live orders, and free, not raw pool size.
