Many of the world’s top law firms are welcoming their new attorneys with BrightCrowd! Not only does BrightCrowd create a delightful first impression for new hires, but it also saves recruiting and HR teams countless hours of work. According to John O'Hara at Gibson Dunn: “We have been using BrightCrowd for two years now to welcome our summer associates and new associates. It has been a fantastic way for the next generation of Gibson Dunn associates to start to get to know each other well before they meet in our offices. BrightCrowd has also saved our staff teams hours of work manually compiling resumes, factoids, and facepages. We share each class’s BrightCrowd books with our current attorneys before everyone starts, and they enjoy learning about our incoming associates through the creative photos and meaningful answers shared on their profiles. This jump-starts community-building and informal mentoring relationships that are key to integration. We have been very happy with BrightCrowd and the multi-faceted value it brings!” If you’d like to learn how BrightCrowd can help your firm welcome your summer, fall, or lateral hires, visit www.brightcrowd.com. #BrightCrowd #LawFirms #Onboarding #CommunityBuilding #HRInnovation

The Williams College Class of 1999 25th Reunion Memory book is awesome! So far over 60% of the class, totaling 275 classmates, have enthusiastically contributed memories, stories and updates, making this a truly engaging initiative. ?? One of the most touching aspects of this project is the heartfelt in memoriam pages, where classmates who have passed away were honored and remembered fondly with anecdotes shared by their peers. It's a poignant reminder of the enduring connections forged during their time at Williams. Kudos to Beth Reynolds and Conny Isby and the Williams College reunion program for consistently delivering exceptional experiences. This marks the 5th consecutive year that BrightCrowd has played a key role in their reunions, adding depth and connectivity to their celebrations. The reunion itself is still several weeks away in early June, and it is clear that everyone is excited to come together and continue the tradition of reconnecting and reminiscing. Here's to the enduring spirit of the Williams College Class of 1999! ?? #WilliamsCollege #ClassOf1999 #ReunionSuccess #BrightCrowd
