Tampa Legal Recruiting Firm Launches Proprietary AI Tool
Ideal Talent Group (ITG), a boutique legal recruiting firm specializing in representing attorneys, has completed beta testing of a proprietary artificial intelligence tool designed to enhance attorney search capabilities. The AI-powered database, currently operational in Florida, contains comprehensive data on over 99% of all licensed attorneys in the state.
The Tampa-based firm developed the internal technology over several months to improve its ability to source attorneys. Ideal Talent Group represents Associates, Of Counsel, and Partners nationwide, serving law firms with 10 attorneys to the top AmLaw firms with more than 1,000 attorneys.
The AI tool addresses a critical challenge in legal recruiting by systematically researching and cataloging attorney credentials, practice areas, and career profiles. ITG beta tested this software in Florida, but has since begun rolling out the software to other states.
“Hiring has changed forever,” said Taylor Sanger, VP of Operations for ITG, “AI is the ultimate equalizer. We now have access to everyone, so recruiting becomes about expertise, referrals, and relationships more than data.”
ITG regularly represents attorneys in several high-demand practice areas, including Complex Commercial Litigation, Real Estate Litigation and Transactions, Mergers & Acquisitions, Insurance Defense, Personal Injury, and Labor & Employment law.

The firm has developed a reputation for personalized service in the competitive legal recruiting market. A Harvard-trained trial attorney who hired an Associate from ITG stated, “You are the best agency I’ve worked with in my career.”
Unlike national recruiting firms that often handle multiple industries, Ideal Talent Group maintains an exclusive focus on legal placement, allowing the firm to develop specialized expertise in attorney career transitions and law firm hiring needs. ITG plans to keep the software internal to provide an edge against competitors.
Galen Rader, who leads the recruiting division, has personally experienced how AI has shifted the landscape of recruiting. “AI allows our team to spend more time on the phone, in virtual meetings, or meeting attorneys for coffee rather than researching,” Galen said, “The huge investment up front continues to pay dividends.”
The completion of the Florida beta test proves that the significant technological investment was worthwhile. Now ITG can focus on relationships rather than research.
