How to keep Gen Z on board: a practical checklist for HR and legal

January 28, 2026

In our previous blog “From surviving to living: how generations view work differently”, we explored how fundamentally Gen Z approaches work in a different way. Less focused on security, more on quality of life, growth and purpose.

But insight alone is not enough. The key question for HR and legal is:
How do we translate this into concrete action in the workplace?

At Legal Staffing Experts, we support organisations every day that struggle with both attracting and retaining young professionals. What works is often surprisingly clear, as long as you are willing to slightly adjust your approach.

Below, we share a practical checklist: how to keep Gen Z on board.

From Surviving to Living: How Generations View Work Differently

January 28, 2026

They are smart, digitally fluent, highly employable and at the same time a source of frustration for many employers.
Gen Z is rapidly entering the labour market and putting traditional HR and legal structures under pressure.

Their view on work, loyalty and career increasingly clashes with the expectations of previous generations.

At Legal Staffing Experts, we work daily with both employers and Gen Z professionals. What we see is not a generational problem, but a fundamental shift: from surviving to living.

Why Gen Z candidates drop out faster (and what that says about your company or hiring approach)

December 31, 2025

“They drop out.”
“They stop responding.”
“After one interview, we never hear from them again.”
We hear it often — from HR, partners, legal directors.
And it’s usually followed by a sigh, sometimes even frustration.
But what if we flipped the perspective for a moment?
What if Gen Z candidates dropping out says less about them…
and more about how you hire?

Why winter graduates are underestimated talent

December 31, 2025

Most legal employers say the same thing: they are looking for experience.
And that makes sense.
Experience means speed, autonomy and less need for intensive supervision.
In an environment of high workload, that is not a luxury, but a necessity.

At the same time, those same employers know that experience is not always readily available, and that teams cannot rely exclusively on senior profiles.

That is precisely why many organisations do hire junior talent.
Not out of convenience, but as a strategic choice aimed at long-term continuity.

Graduating in January: are you “too early”… or actually right on time?

December 31, 2025

A new year often begins with expectations.
Good resolutions. Plans. Thoughts about “what’s next”.
For those graduating in January, that new year feels slightly different.
No more exams. No more syllabi.

Just one immediate question: what now?

You’ve graduated. In January.

And suddenly you’re left with a strange mix of emotions: pride, relief and doubt.
While others are still sitting exams, you find yourself standing on your own.
No more classes. No clear structure. No obvious “next step”.

And then comes the question we hear every single year at Legal Staffing Experts:

“Did I graduate too early?”

Tips for handling rejection during job applications

November 5, 2025

Applying for a new role takes courage. You enter an interview hoping your talent will be recognised, that your story will resonate and that this could be your next career step.
When the outcome is “you were not selected”, it can be disappointing.
At Legal Staffing Experts, we understand how challenging this moment can be. It may feel personal, even though the legal profession is driven by nuance and precision. We would like to share one clear message:
A rejection does not define your value as a professional. We see your potential, even when you momentarily doubt it yourself.

Burnout prevention for legal professionals: it starts with conscious leadership

October 24, 2025

At Legal Staffing Experts, I speak daily with lawyers, in-house counsel, and legal professionals who practice their craft with passion.
They love the substance of the law, the intellectual challenge, and the sense of responsibility that comes with it.
But behind that drive often lies something else: pressure, exhaustion, and the constant fear of not doing enough.
The legal profession runs on precision and deadlines. We are trained to be “on” at all times, to work flawlessly, and to provide solutions, even when we ourselves are running on empty.
And that is exactly where the risk of burnout creeps in.
