Delivering the CRM platform
Firm Prospects essentially offers an easy-to-use CRM, allowing any recruiting company or law firm to create their own custom searches and reports on lawyers. Users can create history tracking between a given lawyer or company, or research and share specific information throughout their company and among other recruiters.
The owner of Firm Prospects had worked with other vendors previously, but Polcode was able to deliver a comprehensive approach to development.
Firm Prospects turned to Polcode to develop and maintain their cutting-edge data analytics and market intelligence platform. Legal recruiters, law firms, and attorneys use the platform to hire, search and track everything they need to know, in one place.
The scope of the project was summarized into the following deliverables:
Simplified, Superfast Search
Firm Prospects relies on their datasets to deliver powerful results, “Whether searching for candidates or tracking trends in lateral movements, your results are only as good as the underlying data. That’s why we’ve taken the time to develop a comprehensive and accurately categorized database, while also applying the latest technology to enhance our review process. As a result, we provide more targeted market intelligence to our customers.”
Polcode helped Firm Prospects to go-to-market quickly.
We delivered the following A-Z feature sets allowing Firm Prospects to launch the product quickly.

The database contains several hundred thousand lawyers from all over the United States. There are over 14 different filters, and subfilters under some of the categories, such as Practice Area or Graduation Years. With such a large number of parameters, the search engine must handle large loads. By using ElasticSearch, Polcode allows Firm Prospects to dynamically create database caches, providing fast and efficient results.
LAW FIRM SEARCH:
The platform also serves as a one-stop search for law firms located in the United States. The database contains several thousand records and up-to-date information about each company.
This includes parameters like company name, contact, number of employees, specializations, employment history, estimated income, company ranking.
JOB SEARCH:
The job search engine finds information about law firms, including company name, headquarters of individual office locations, University graduates, specializations, number of employees, income, company ranking,
Hear from our client:
The team’s greatest strength is their diverse skill set. After we spent thousands of dollars on an AI project with another company, Polcode came up with a better alternative almost immediately at a much more competitive price. If a project is within their wheelhouse, they will be more efficient and cost-effective than any other company. We’ve learned to approach them first.

Users can automatically export reports with charts and tables to a PDF file..
