Baystreet Media & VLP Law Group – Elevating Legal Recruitment Through Social Media and Digital Strategy

Overview

Attracting top-tier legal talent is increasingly competitive. VLP Law Group, a distributed firm of elite attorneys, sought to enhance its recruitment efforts through digital channels while ensuring the firm’s brand reflected the stature of a leading AM100 law firm.

Baystreet Media was brought in to replace a larger, more expensive legal-specialty agency, delivering a modern, data-driven approach to recruitment marketing. The objective: build awareness among high-caliber legal professionals, strengthen employer branding, and generate qualified candidate leads efficiently.

The Challenge

Before BSM’s engagement, VLP faced several obstacles in recruitment marketing:

• Outdated Digital Presence: The “Join Us” page lacked compelling storytelling, clarity, and alignment with VLP’s brand positioning.
• Fragmented Social Media Strategy: LinkedIn and other professional channels were underutilized, with inconsistent messaging and low engagement.
• High Recruitment Costs: Prior agency solutions were expensive yet delivered minimal ROI in terms of candidate quality or volume.
• Brand Perception: VLP’s website and digital channels did not fully communicate the firm’s elite, AM100-caliber positioning, potentially limiting interest from top-tier candidates.

The Solution

BSM approached the challenge with a holistic, multi-channel strategy to strengthen recruitment efforts and elevate VLP’s digital brand:

1. Join Us Page Redesign

• Rebuilt the “Join Us” page to reflect VLP’s culture, values, and elite positioning.
• Highlighted leadership, attorney career paths, and professional growth opportunities.
• Integrated compelling visual storytelling, testimonials, and clear CTAs to increase engagement.

2. LinkedIn & Social Media Revamp

• Developed a comprehensive LinkedIn strategy to engage top legal talent.
• Created high-quality content: attorney spotlights, culture highlights, thought leadership, and open roles.
• Implemented targeted advertising campaigns to reach relevant audiences and drive recruitment leads.

3. Website Overhaul

• BSM is now leading a full redesign of VLP’s website to reflect AM100 law firm standards.
• Focus on clarity, authority, and usability to attract both prospective attorneys and clients.
• Enhanced UX, visual hierarchy, and mobile responsiveness to strengthen brand perception and credibility.

4. Ongoing Optimization

• Data-driven adjustments based on engagement, conversion metrics, and candidate interaction.
• Continuous testing of messaging, visual assets, and content placement to maximize recruitment performance.
