Extract from TRU Staffing Partners’ article “January 2025 Eye on ESI Looked Back at 2024 Stats and Detailed What’s Ahead”
January 2025’s Eye on ESI brought together the regular monthly trio of ACEDS President Michael Quartararo, ACEDS VP Marbel Rivera, and TRU Staffing Partners’ Founder and CEO Jared Coseglia. This month’s special guest Stephen Dooley, director of Electronic Discovery and Litigation Support at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, joined the team to discuss the current ESI job market trends and predictions for the year ahead.
Coseglia: Today we will take a look at the whole year in review. We now have December metrics and we’ll talk about the predictions for the year ahead, and then really dive into the data from last year, so we can see why we are predicting things the way we are. We added one new slide here: people want to know where this data is coming from. See the slide above for all the resources TRU uses to provide the info we present each month.
All job applicants come with lots of information about salary, compensation, desires, wants, hopes, and dreams, and we work to capture all of that metrically. The hard data comes from hard data, meaning salaries are actual salary data. Hopefully, that’s helpful in giving everybody a sense of where this information comes from.
We start every webinar giving some of the hot jobs TRU is working on. The slide above shows where we are at, The bulk of the hiring is in the middle of the marketplace. There are lots of project manager and senior analysts/RelativityOne jobs available. We’re starting to see legal AI jobs become available.
