Touchpoint | news, views and industry insight from the legal recruitment experts

Hello,

Whilst the Christmas cheer and festive fun may over, the first Touchpoint of 2019 is here to help you overcome any January blues.

In line with the "new year, new me" mentality, this month we take a look at how updating the personal interests section of your CV may help you land your dream role.

As our clients know, developing a future-proof recruitment strategy when attracting young talent is crucial. Making The Grade With Graduates offers advice on how to connect with the graduate workforce.

As covered in the Times, Legal Cheek and Legal Futures, we also explore how the number of trainees working for less than the recommended minimum salary has dropped by a third in 12 months.

Finally we'd like to thank Nigel Jones, Co Founder At The Privacy Compliance Hub & The Legal Pod for his interview this month!
