Plan the San Jose search before outreach
What a San Jose employer should confirm with an attorney recruiting company before a legal search begins. Define the actual legal work, seniority, reporting line, practice or business context, work location and the evidence the employer will use to make a decision. A job title or market label alone does not create a usable search brief.
Use questions that match the engagement
Ask whether the provider can work from a defined role brief and explain how it protects the employer’s decisions.
Verify the information that matters
Use Santa Clara County Superior Court and other appropriate official authorities for any bar, court or credential questions. This page does not decide admission status, good standing, eligibility to practice or employment-law requirements.
Keep the employer in control of the hire
BEGHR supports employer direct-hire inquiries. The employer decides whom to hire and directly employs the successful person. Scope, fee, candidate ownership, screening responsibilities, timing and any replacement terms are set in the written engagement before search work begins.
What to confirm with an attorney recruiter company before signing
That it works from a written brief, that it sources employed candidates directly rather than reposting the role, that screening evidence comes with each candidate, that billing triggers and candidate ownership are in the agreement, and that the employer keeps the hiring decision. BEGHR confirms scope and fee on the discovery call and bills by milestone, with a 45-day replacement guarantee.
What BEGHR offers San Jose employers for attorney searches tied to practice work and seniority
Business Executive Group runs permanent legal searches for attorney searches tied to practice work and seniority: legal placements in 23 to 35 days as BEGHR’s published timeframe, an 86% fill rate on active searches across its placement service, a fee roughly 50% less than contingency recruiters, a 45-day replacement guarantee and 50% off a repeat hire for the same role. Billing is milestone-based and starts after applicants are sent. The employer interviews, selects and employs the hire directly. The pricing form returns an estimate for the role.
