In an era where productivity is slipping and hiring costs are skyrocketing, many law firms and businesses struggle to find motivated, dedicated, and cost-effective employees. The work ethic that once defined professionals in the 1980s—characterized by grit, long hours, and a commitment to excellence—seems harder to find in today’s workforce.But what if you could tap into that same work ethic—without breaking the bank?Global talent is proving to be the secret weapon for firms looking to scale without compromising quality. MOVE’s virtual legal professionals, sourced from a highly motivated, skilled global workforce, provide the same dedication and efficiency once expected from top-tier U.S. hires—but at a fraction of the cost. Anthony Geraci, founder of Geraci Law Firm and MOVE, understands this firsthand—having seen the power of global talent drive productivity and success in his own businesses.

The Hiring Problem: Declining Productivity, Rising Costs

Many law firms and businesses are facing these challenges when hiring in-house:

• Skyrocketing Salaries – Recruiting and retaining U.S.-based professionals costs significantly more than ever before.
• Declining Work Ethic – Many employers struggle with high turnover, disengagement, and lack of accountability.
• Inconsistent Productivity – Firms need employees who go above and beyond, not just do the bare minimum.
• Administrative Overload – Lawyers and executives spend too much time handling tasks that could be delegated.

Hiring skilled, reliable professionals shouldn’t feel like a gamble. Instead, firms should be tapping into a workforce that thrives on hard work, loyalty, and results.
