[From Business Wire](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250521366994/en/Flo-Recruit-Announces-Series-A-Funding-to-Expand-Legal-Recruiting-Ecosystem): Austin-based startup connects legal talent, law schools, and law firms to support market transparency in an evolving recruitment landscape.

 

AUSTIN, May 21, 2025: Flo Recruit, a connected suite of legal talent software, announced that it has closed a Series A round led by LiveOak Ventures and Moneta Ventures with participation from The LegalTech Fund, Y Combinator, and Teamworthy Ventures. Flo Recruit intends to use the funds to expand its career services solutions for law schools and talent solutions for law firm entry-level, lateral associate, and partner hiring. 

“Flo Recruit’s clients are seeking transparency as recruitment channels expand beyond traditional campus programs and reliance on agencies,” said Katherine Allen, Co-Founder and CEO. “Flo has a unique ability to solve this problem because we partner with all sides of the talent market. That brings powerful connections and data insight.”

Flo Recruit platform data shows law student interview timelines shifting year over year, with a 665% volume increase in April 2025 compared to April 2024. Earlier entry-level recruitment has pressured law students, schools, and firms alike to adapt – prompting the launch of Flo Forward, a legal career platform centralizing 103 firm profiles, 1,135 networking opportunities, and 818 job listings to date. The market also anticipates increased lateral movement among junior associates, driven by faster decision-making early in their careers.

"It’s exciting to work with a team that knows there's always the ability to change and to meet the needs of a challenging environment,” said Nancy Parker, Director of Attorney Recruitment at Fried Frank. “In a very uncertain world, the Flo team is certain. They’re dedicated to the success of both the firm and the candidates.”

Today, over 125 law firms — including nearly 70% of the AmLaw 100 — use Flo Recruit to find and hire legal talent. More than 100 law schools and consortiums, including 85% of the top 50 ranked schools, run campus programs on Flo Recruit and help bring Flo Forward to life, resulting in over 25,000 student users to date.
