Frequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages of working with a recruiter?
Using a recruiter can provide a more efficient and cost-effective method for finding the most qualified candidates for your opportunity. By streamlining the recruiting process, we save you invaluable time, effort and the cost of reviewing resumes of unqualified candidates.
Our recruiters screen and qualify every candidate before they are submitted to our clients. We strive to find candidates who have both the relevant experience you are seeking as well as personal characteristics that make them a good cultural fit.
What do you charge for conducting a legal search?
We conduct searches on a contingency, exclusive or retainer basis. You can review candidate resumes at no cost and compare them with those you receive from other sources in contingency and exclusive searches. In these searches, a fee is only generated if you hire a candidate we present. The typical placement fee for an attorney will be no more than 25% of the attorney’s first year’s base salary. The standard fee for a legal support staff will be no more than 20% of the support staff’s first year’s base salary. As we strive to create long-term partnerships, we are certainly willing to further discuss our placement fee structure.
What are your guarantee terms?
The standard guarantee period is six months for an attorney and sixty days for a legal support staff. If the placed candidate is no longer employed (other than due to a layoff resulting from market/economic conditions) within said time periods, we will refund a portion of the fee on a pro rata basis.
