How we detect a first Legal hire

We classify every posting title into one of 41 role families. Legal covers: counsel, legal operations, contracts and paralegals. We keep the full history of families each company has ever posted.

Observed: the family appeared on a board where we had previously recorded postings and never saw this family.
Inferred: on the first crawl of an established board (postings older than 60 days), the family has only 1–2 roles, all posted in the last 21 days.

Currently 404 Legal roles are open across 116 companies — see all companies hiring Legal.
