About L&W Recruiting
L&W Recruiting is a boutique legal staffing agency founded in 2021 that places attorneys, paralegals, and legal professionals for everyone from boutique firms to Fortune 500 legal departments. It runs searches with an emphasis on personalized, confidential service, so keeping job postings fresh and visible is what drives every placement.
The Challenge: One Recruiter, Two Expensive Job Boards
Before 100Hires, Jeff ran his entire desk on a LinkedIn account and Indeed. The reach was there, but so was the bill, and every extra job post came at a premium.
- A LinkedIn account cost him roughly $10K a year, with more fees for additional job posts
- Job board spend felt like a gamble on any single niche legal role
- No single place to keep postings fresh and manage candidates
“10 grand a year, that's just a LinkedIn account, which I don't feel the need to have at this point.”
Jeff Roberts
Why 100Hires
A friend pointed Jeff to 100Hires. He demoed it head-to-head against another posting tool at the same time, and the difference was immediate: one went live and started producing, the other went quiet.
“I demoed both at the same time. I never even heard from them, never got a resume. Whereas you guys went live right away.”
Jeff Roberts
The Solution
Multi-Board Posting
Jeff's jobs are present on Indeed and LinkedIn, and keeping those postings fresh is what puts him in front of candidates first.
“The influx of resumes coming in, and the way my jobs are present on Indeed and LinkedIn, is massive.”
Jeff Roberts
Automated Scheduling
Jeff runs candidates across time zones from Eastern. 100Hires converts the times and drops interviews straight onto his calendar in the right slot, so he stops mixing up time zones.
“It realizes that if somebody's in Central and I'm Eastern... I can just schedule it from 100Hires, and it hits my calendar and puts it in the right spot.”
Jeff Roberts
AI Reply Suggestions
When a candidate proposes a time, 100Hires suggests the reply. The small automations add up when you are running a full desk solo.
The Results
| Before | After (100Hires) | |
|---|---|---|
| Job boards | LinkedIn and Indeed, managed separately | Indeed + LinkedIn from one place |
| Annual cost | ~$10K LinkedIn account plus add-ons | A fraction of that; LinkedIn seat retired |
| Time to post | Setup and fees per extra post | Posting right away |
| Interview scheduling | Manual time-zone math, missed calls | Auto-converted onto his calendar |
The support from the 100Hires team is what pushed it over the top for him.
“The support through these past couple of meetings has taken it from an okay product to an A+ product in my opinion.”
Jeff Roberts
The Endorsement
“I would just tell them to do it. It's worth it. I recommend it. I've already shown it to a buddy of mine who's a recruiter.”

Frequently asked questions
Does 100Hires work for solo recruiters and independent agencies?
Yes. L&W Recruiting is a one-person agency, and 100Hires lets a single recruiter post jobs, manage candidates, and schedule interviews without hiring anyone to operate the tool.
Can I post to Indeed and LinkedIn from one place?
Yes. Your job is present on Indeed and LinkedIn from 100Hires, so you are not managing each board separately.
Is 100Hires cheaper than a LinkedIn account?
For most SMB recruiters, yes. A LinkedIn Recruiter seat runs around $10K a year plus add-ons for extra postings. 100Hires delivers job board reach at a fraction of that cost.
Does it handle interview scheduling across time zones?
Yes. 100Hires converts candidate time zones automatically and books the interview into the right slot on your calendar.
