🧠 Virtual Communicator (VC) – Frequently Asked Questions
A Virtual Communicator is an AI-powered assistant trained to support legal recruiting, career exploration, and equitable hiring. VCs are built with embedded, job-specific knowledge that helps candidates, employers, and institutions make better decisions — faster.
Unlike traditional chatbots, our VCs are trained with structured legal data and recruitment best practices. They’re not just reactive — they act as smart, focused guides programmed to reflect your career goals, DEI commitments, and lawful hiring standards.
Each VC is manually built and maintained by LegalRecruiter staff. We embed source documents, member preferences, and employer goals — there’s no outsourcing, no shortcuts.
VCs can help with:
- Legal career paths
- Interview prep & resume review
- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion strategies
- Job market and employer trends
- Mentorship matching & CLE tracking
- …and much more.
No, not all the time. Some VCs (like the Law School VC) are free. But premium versions offer personalized job alerts, private sessions, and career planning tools tied to your goals. See our Membership Tiers for full access benefits.
Use the labels:
- Practice Area VC – for specific legal fields
- Law School VC – if you’re a student or recent grad
- Employer VC – for hiring organizations
- Diversity VC – for equity-minded candidates and employers
- Position VC – to compare roles like associate, partner, counsel, etc.
Yes. We don’t sell data or retain chat history. Your VC interaction is session-specific and not shared across users or platforms. LegalRecruiter takes privacy seriously.
Use the “Give Feedback” button next to each VC, or email us directly at support@legalrecruiter.com. Your feedback directly improves future updates.
