Hiring to Keep Up with Growth w/ Fariba Jafary

Host Nasir F. Adil is joined by Fariba Jafary, Equity Partner, Chief Diversity Officer, and Managing Partner of Recruitment, Hiring & Development. We start with a great story about how Fariba unexpectedly joined B&B (2:21). She then talks about her role in the firm’s growth in recent years and what one skill is critical for managers (7:05). Nasir and Fariba engage in a deeper conversation about recruitment and development, challenges in the legal industry, and training the next generation of attorneys (17:02). REMINDER, B&B is hiring (31:08)!! We break as always for the Comp Corner mailbag; this episode’s question comes from claims examiner Layla about panel requests pursuant to labor code 4060 (32:40). We then get to know Fariba better, her love of cooking, Italy, photography, and her mentors in law (35:27). We conclude, as always, with America’s favorite workers’ compensation game - ‘5 in 5’ - and we get controversial talking about carbs (43:45)….. Host: Nasir F.
