Law firms need to showcase their talent across a range of platforms and mediums. From highlighting your team in bid proposals, to populating website bios, to compiling submissions for annual lawyer rankings - it can feel neverending.
Your firm’s knowledge manager might spend countless hours sourcing CVs and resumes, bringing them all into standardized formats, and then relaying the employee’s achievements to all of the channels where they’re needed. Then, when profiles get updated, any changes must be pushed out again - causing continual headaches and tedious repetition. Whatsmore, if your firm doesn’t have a knowledge manager, this can fall on your legal talent themselves - taking away valuable billable time. The underlying root of this friction is that your employee’s profiles are hosted on static CV and resume documents, living in siloed systems. This lack of transparency and accessibility means no-one is really sure whether the CVs or resumes on file are up-to-date or how to extract data efficiently.
If this struggle resonates with you, rest assured there is a better way. With a CV and resume database platform, such as Flowcase, you can centralize employee data, making it accessible to the people that need it. With a tool like this, knowledge managers can search across an entire firm to source employees based on specific skills and tenures, and then access their profiles, with the confidence that they’re up-to-date and formatted consistently. And, because data is structured in a standardized manner, it can easily be deployed for multiple purposes, or even integrated with your existing systems.
Let’s take a look at how this solves some of the key challenges around storing and distributing employee achievements:
Streamlining Bid Proposals
Responding to RFPs effectively requires you to showcase your team in the best way possible. This means sourcing a legal team that has the experience required for the project, tailoring their profiles to speak the briefs language, and then exporting into stylish templates - or templates mandated by the proposal. This process is incredibly time-consuming when done manually, but solving this challenge is Flowcase’s core competency. By storing employee profiles in an accessible platform, knowledge managers can quickly search across skills, accreditations, past experiences, and more to source their best team. They can then easily tailor profiles by reworking bios, reordering content, and emphasizing key achievements. Lastly, they can export CVs and resumes in formats that are consistent with the brief. This saves countless hours copying, pasting, and reformatting content - over, and over, and over again…

Powering your Website
Your website is your firm’s digital home, and your ‘People’ page is one its key pillars. Prospective clients want to know about the people that make your legal practice tick, so showcasing them in the best way is vital. By using Flowcase as your source of truth, you can push employee data to your website via our flexible API. Utilizing rules, you can decide what information gets pushed across, in what order, while also creating website-specific sections and bios. Any profile updates are automatically synced to the site, ensuring achievements and accreditations are always up-to-date. This deduplication of work can save countless hours, while minimizing the risk of human error.

Accelerating Ranking Submissions
For a law firm, annual rankings provide an excellent opportunity to gain some momentum for the year ahead. While it’s imperative to put your best foot forward, submitting your teams’ profiles can be yet another time-consuming process - taking attention away from other new business opportunities. Not only do you need to source the CVs and resumes of your best performers, you also need to highlight their achievements in the correct format as designated by the awards committee. Again, Flowcase can help fast-track much of this process. As already covered, your star talent can be identified in seconds from the centralized database. Achievement write-ups can then be tailored to meet the specified guidelines, before the profile is exported into the required format, only pulling in data that’s relevant for the submission. Automating the nitty gritty of this process empowers your knowledge managers to put more of your team up for awards. This maximizes your chances of getting the recognition you deserve, without sacrificing the rest of your proposal pipeline.
