Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can All Legal Staff find a candidate for my open position?

We can often provide screened candidates within 24 to 48 hours. For temporary and contract roles, candidates may be available to start within one to three business days. Response time depends on the specifics of the role, but our active database of 10,000+ legal professionals lets us move fast.

Can we hire a candidate permanently after a temporary assignment?

Yes. Temp-to-hire arrangements are designed for exactly this purpose. They give you time to evaluate whether the candidate fits your team and can perform the role before making a permanent commitment. Many firms use temp-to-hire as a low-risk way to find long-term staff.

What screening do you do before presenting candidates?

Every candidate we present has been personally interviewed by our team. We assess technical skills and software proficiency, test written communication, check references from previous attorneys and supervisors, and verify backgrounds. We only present candidates we are confident can do the job.

How do you ensure a good fit for our firm’s culture?

We invest time upfront to understand your firm’s culture, practice areas, team dynamics, and what success looks like in the role. This goes beyond matching skills on paper. We ask detailed questions so we can match personality, work style, and professional expectations along with qualifications.

What happens if a placement does not work out?

For temporary assignments, we work quickly to find a replacement. For permanent placements, we offer a guarantee period. If the hire does not work out within that window, we will find a replacement at no additional cost. Contact us for details on our specific guarantee terms.

What Clients and Candidates Say About Us

“Theresa is the MOST professional, helpful, considerate, trustworthy legal recruiter I’ve worked with. She went above and beyond to help me find the best fit for me and the firm. Her years of practical knowledge and genuine concern are what makes her stand apart from other recruiters. She delivered with several positions and advocated for me every step of the way. They don’t make recruiters like her anymore. She may be hired by the firms but she’s a true advocate for the candidate.”
