Staying Power: What Makes Staffers Happy in Their Jobs?
January 1, 2001

"One of the common complaints [Electra] Harelson, [a Prescott Legal Search consultant], hears involves billable hour requirements, which are often standard at large firms. ‘In terms of paralegals, they feel pressured to meet a certain number of billable hours.

Some paralegals that call us say they’d rather go in-house so they don’t have the pressure to reach some magical number on billable hours,’ says Harelson.
