Over this period, Joey developed a deep understanding of what both law firms and immigration professionals need in the hiring process.Joey eventually moved to Spain with his family, and after a small break from a long career, started exploring an idea he’d long considered: building a recruitment solution tailored specifically to immigration law.It began as a job board, but quickly evolved as Joey spoke with attorneys and managing partners about their real hiring challenges. Rather than a simple job board, immigration law firms needed high‑touch recruitment services to truly find and vet top talent, whether attorneys, paralegals, or support staff. And that’s how ImmigrationJobs was born.So, here’s what we’re going to talk about: 🔹 Joey’s early life, education and his career across multiple immigration law firms🔹 Joey’s relocation to Spain and how that move set off his entrepreneurial journey 🔹 The early days of ImmigrationJobs and Joey’s pivot from a job board to services🔹 What ImmigrationJobs does today, who it helps, and thoughts on the future of the practiceSo please join us, ask questions and leave comments!----Check out the ImmigrationJobs here: https://immigrationjobs.io/Follow Joey on LinkedIn here:   / joseph-mckeown  Digital marketing for immigration & global mobility firms at GMI Rocket: https://gmirocket.com/​Digitize your LCA posting and PAF process with LaborLess: https://laborless.io/
