The pipeline runs cold for months, then wakes up in a week. Partners are the gatekeepers. HR is half a role.
Episodic volume
Win a mandate, hire five associates. Lose one, hire none. A pipeline idle for six months has to wake up in a week.
Specialty over generalist
M&A counsel is not employment counsel. Brand strategy is not performance marketing. Generic CV screening misses the difference.
Partner panels are the bottleneck
Three partners need to interview every senior candidate. Coordinating their calendars is half the work.
HOW JOIN HELPS
Source, screen, schedule in one tool.
01
Posting to the boards your sector reads.

02
Specialty-aware knockout screening.
Set Knockout questions per practice: bar admission for M&A vs. employment counsel, active licence for audit vs. tax, a portfolio link for creative vs. paid media. Applicants who miss a practice's non-negotiable are rejected automatically, logged with the answer and the rule that matched.
Knockout rules scoped per practice, not one generic form
M&A vs. employment counsel, audit vs. tax, paid vs. creative
Every decision logged with the answer and the rule that triggered it
03
Partner-panel scheduling in one link.
Send a scheduling link that finds the slot across three partner calendars and the candidate's. Candidate picks a slot, every partner gets the calendar invite. No three-way email thread.

QUESTIONS WE GET
Questions professional firms ask before signing up.
Can templates differ by practice?
Yes. Templates for job ads, scorecards, and email sequences are scoped per practice. M&A counsel and brand strategy don't share a scorecard; consulting and audit don't share a brief.
How does partner-panel scheduling work?
One scheduling link finds a slot across three partner calendars and the candidate's. The candidate picks a time, every partner gets the calendar invite automatically. No three-way email thread.
Can the office manager restrict who sees which candidates?
Yes, at the job level. Partners and reviewers only see the roles they're assigned to; the office manager (as system admin) sees everything. There's no per-field hiding within a profile today, so anyone with access to a candidate sees the full profile, salary included.
Does Join integrate with HRIS, payroll, or BI?
Native Zapier and Make apps cover most stacks. A public REST API with personal access tokens, plus webhooks shipping soon, handle direct integrations. Hired-candidate data lands in downstream systems without manual rekeying.
How does pricing work for firms with episodic hiring volume?
Pricing is month-to-month. Scale up to Advanced during active mandates, drop back to Standard between rounds, or pause the plan. No annual contract, no seat penalty for a dry spell.
Can our General Counsel audit knockout-screening decisions?
Yes. Every Knockout decision is logged with the candidate's answer and the rule that matched, and it's exportable. That audit trail is included on every plan.
