Plan the San Jose search before outreach
Plan permanent legal hiring in San Jose with a general counsel recruiter. 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
A permanent search begins with the work, reporting line, terms, work model and the employer’s evidence of fit.
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.
Permanent general counsel recruiters: direct employment, not placement of contractors
BEGHR places permanent hires. The employer employs the attorney, counsel or paralegal directly on its own terms. BEGHR does not supply temporary or contract staff and is not a staffing agency. The engagement covers sourcing, screening, 3 to 5 screened candidates, interview coordination and offer support, with a 45-day replacement guarantee and 50% off a repeat hire for the same role.
What BEGHR offers San Jose employers for senior legal leadership and enterprise risk decisions
Business Executive Group runs permanent legal searches for senior legal leadership and enterprise risk decisions: 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.
