You manage structured career progression: analyst to associate to manager to senior manager to principal to partner (or your firm's equivalent). Performance evaluation is project-based: engagement feedback from supervisors, peers, and clients informs promotion and development decisions. You design training programs (new hire bootcamps, management development, partner readiness), manage mentoring/sponsorship programs, and track capability development against the firm's strategic needs. Attrition at the senior associate/manager level is your biggest talent leakage point.
You recruit from target schools (MBA and undergraduate), lateral hires from competitors and industry, and increasingly non-traditional backgrounds (data science, design, technology). Campus recruiting is a structured machine: school selection, event scheduling, first-round interviews (case + fit), callback day management, and offer negotiation. Experienced hiring fills capability gaps. Your employer brand on Glassdoor, Fishbowl, and Wall Street Oasis matters.
