Info

JurisTemps utilizes a variety of recruitment mediums. In addition to direct recruitment, JurisTemps frequently advertises its positions in a variety of legal and non-legal publications, including the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Lawyer's Weekly, St. Louis Lawyer, and The St. Louis Bar Journal. We also recruit by means of personal referral, the internet, and professional associations. Our on-line resources, including our homepage and career resource portfolio, increasingly attract a number of out-of-state candidates interested in relocation. How does JurisTemps implement its screening process? Because our recruiters know that JurisTemps is only as good as its candidates, we take great care in our applicant screening and skill assessment program. In addition to careful resume review, each applicant spends roughly one hour with a member of our recruiting staff, and is contacted afterwards with follow-up questions as applicable. References and state licensure are extensively checked by professional recruiters, and specific testing is available for secretarial and paralegal candidates. All applicants are required to submit a list of three professional references, a driver's license and a social security card. What costs/fees are associated with the services of JurisTemps? JurisTemps makes life easy when you employ one of our candidates on a temporary or temp-to-hire basis. Each week, our employee will present a time sheet for signature and verification, and a weekly invoice will be sent, reflecting these hours, to your firm/corporation for payment. JurisTemps handles all payroll taxes, withholdings, and worker's compensation insurance. If you should wish to permanently hire one of our temporary or temp-to-hire candidates after employing them for a time in your office, JurisTemps will provide you with a discount off of the permanent placement fee. Can we hire one of JurisTemps' temporary employees? Yes, and at any time. Our temp-to-hire option makes it easy for you to convert an employee to your payroll. While many employers choose to extend their temp-to-hire positions for 3-5 months on a temporary basis, our clients may negotiate a salary and benefits package for a prospective employee at any time during his or her employment. The recruiters at JurisTemps will work with you to finalize this package and to officiate a start date and payroll conversion. Does outsourcing our legal professionals really save us money? Humor us with a brief calculation. Add together the cost of the average number of employment advertisements used per position, the cost of on-line web and job-board posting fees, and incorporate the value of your time spent reviewing resumes, interviewing prospective candidates, checking references, and negotiating salary and benefit packages. Now, call JurisTemps. We can guarantee that our placement fees will be equal or less than the recruiting dollars you spend in-house. Let us take the stress out of recruiting. We'll provide the candidate screening, background and reference checks, salary information, and we'll arrange the interviews. We'll bridge the gap between employer and potential employee and negotiate the easiest benefit package you've seen. After all, effective recruiting is more about how you choose to spend your time, not your dollars. What is our next step? How do we contact JurisTemps?
