Quality firm are looking beyond the trade-offs of clustering models
Traditional assessment approaches in legal recruiting tend to fall into two categories:

• Data-driven clustering models that require significant internal input and ongoing calibration. Thousands of billable hours for firms to rollout a standardized test far from the customization they have on all other levels.
