Alignment

 

What Is Alignment?

Alignment is the structured process of defining the goals, priorities, and professional criteria that matter most to you or your firm. It is the foundation of effective hiring and career placement, ensuring each opportunity or hire fits in skills, values, and vision.

Why Alignment Matters

For employers: Alignment reduces costly mis-hires, strengthens culture and team cohesion, and supports your strategic objectives.

For lateral candidates: Alignment clarifies what you want in your next role, helps you articulate your goals, and positions you to pursue opportunities aligned with your values, practice focus, and lifestyle.
