Nadia Hemmings, currently the talent manager at Clarion Solicitors, is poised to share her insights at the inaugural Yorkshire Legal Webinar. Scheduled for 6 March, the event will focus on the attraction and retention of legal talent. Hemmings brings a wealth of experience from over a decade in recruitment and marketing, transitioning across several roles to finally land her ideal position at Clarion.
Hemmings’ professional journey commenced in recruitment after university, rapidly advancing to a senior consultant role within agencies in Leeds. Her academic background in marketing paved the way for her tenure in regional marketing agencies where she ascended to the position of executive director. Here, she managed diverse client portfolios, focusing on marketing strategy and execution.
A brief interlude in education saw Hemmings retrain as a primary school teacher, a career she pursued for three years before returning to recruitment. The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a shift in her responsibilities, expanding her focus within recruitment agencies to encompass a broader talent management remit.
Upon joining Clarion, Hemmings embraced her first in-house role, a position that synthesises her marketing and recruitment expertise. She articulates a vision for aligning recruitment strategies with the expectations of the Yorkshire legal sector, where personal reputation and lasting relationships are pivotal.
In Yorkshire, Hemmings underscores the significance of transparency, integrity, and communication in recruitment, highlighting their importance despite recognised shortcomings in these areas. According to Hemmings, the regional job market necessitates a focus on relationship-building rather than purely transactional engagements, especially given the competitive landscape for legal talent.
Nadia Hemmings leverages her comprehensive experience to foster effective talent management and recruitment strategies at Clarion Solicitors, enhancing both firm reputation and candidate experience.
