Job Placement · Legal
Every week that role sits empty, your firm absorbs the cost. Lost billable hours. Overloaded associates. Work going to the wrong desk. We place attorneys and legal professionals in 23-35 days - at roughly 50% less than contingency firms.

The Real Cost of a Slow Search
Most firms tolerate a 60-90 day search without calculating what it actually costs. When you run the numbers, urgency becomes obvious.
How It Works
We learn your firm, the role, and what a strong candidate actually looks like in your environment. 15 minutes. No fluff.
We go direct to passive candidates - attorneys who are not on job boards, not responding to LinkedIn InMails, but who are quietly open to the right opportunity. This is where most firm searches fail.
You receive 3-5 pre-screened candidates. No stacks of resumes. No wasted interviews. You meet candidates who have already been qualified against your specific criteria.
What You Get
Common objection: "We already work with contingency recruiters."
Contingency firms charge 20-25% of first-year salary - typically $40,000-$60,000 per placement. We use milestone-based pricing. You pay for results at defined stages, not a lump sum at the end. The total cost is roughly 50% less. And because our incentives are aligned with your timeline, not with billing volume, we move faster.
Common objection: "What if the placement doesn't work out?"
If the hire does not work out within 45 days, we replace them at no additional cost. Contingency firms typically offer 30-day guarantees at best - and many charge again for replacements. Our guarantee is longer, cleaner, and built into every engagement. You are not starting over. You are using the guarantee.
Common objection: "We've used recruiters before and wasted time on bad candidates."
You will not sort through 20 resumes hoping one sticks. Your dedicated legal search specialist builds a shortlist of 3-5 candidates who have been screened against your specific criteria - practice area, bar admission, culture fit, and compensation range. You only meet people who are genuinely qualified. The first interview is a real conversation, not a screening exercise.
The Math on Waiting
One unfilled attorney seat billing 40 hours per week at $200 per hour is $8,000 in lost billable capacity - every week. At 12 weeks, that is $96,000 in absorbed cost, not counting the overload on your current team or the work that went unbilled.
A 23-35 day search closes that gap. A 90-day search using traditional methods does not.
The Talent Window
Strong lateral attorneys are passive. They are not posting resumes or responding to LinkedIn InMails. When they decide they are open to a move, that window is typically 2-4 weeks before they accept an offer - usually from a firm that was already in front of them.
A slow search process does not find the best candidates. It finds whoever is still available after the market has already moved.
No commitment. We will tell you exactly what we can do for your search and what it costs.
FAQ
Attorneys, associates, paralegals, legal counsel, legal operations managers, and other specialized legal roles across practice areas including litigation, corporate, real estate, employment, and family law.
We are not a staffing agency. We do not place temporary or contract workers. This is direct placement - milestone-based, with you hiring the candidate directly. Clients pay isolved directly at defined milestones, not us on commission. We are a placement service, not a temp shop.
Firms with 11 to 200 attorneys are our core market. Smaller than 11 attorneys is typically too lean to support the search process. Above 200 attorneys tends to have in-house recruiting infrastructure that operates differently. If your firm falls outside that range, ask us - there are exceptions.
Instead of a lump-sum contingency fee at the end, payments are tied to defined milestones in the search process. This aligns our incentives with your timeline and reduces your upfront risk. Total cost is roughly 50% less than a standard contingency arrangement. Exact structure is covered on your discovery call.
If the placed candidate does not work out within 45 days of their start date for any performance-related reason, we conduct a replacement search at no additional charge. The 50% repeat discount applies if the same role description needs to be filled again.
Direct outreach through professional networks, bar association connections, and targeted sourcing campaigns reach attorneys who are not actively looking but are quietly open to the right opportunity. This is the core of how we fill roles 2-3x faster than job-board-dependent searches.
