A candidate was referred to Exclusively Legal in San Diego by her friend who found a position through our staffing agency. The candidate had eight years of experience as a litigation paralegal under her belt, but was recently laid off and in need of income.

The candidate stayed open to the idea of seeking temporary or direct-hire legal job opportunities. It just so happened that one of Exclusively Legal’s top-tier clients was looking for a contract employee for a small, one-month project. The client hired the candidate to assist with the assignment.

It turned out to be a perfect match and during the assignment, the candidate expressed interest in working for the firm on a long-term basis. She let her recruiter know that she would be flexible to work for the firm in any capacity. Because the candidate possessed strong administrative skills, Exclusively Legal worked with the firm to keep her employed as a temporary legal secretary once the project concluded.

The candidate was able to forge a great working relationship with the company. After four months in a temporary capacity, the candidate landed a full-time position with the firm at a higher salary than she earned at her former law firm.

The candidate continues to do well in her role with the law firm and has referred others to Exclusively Legal since her placement. This success story is a true example of what flexibility in job title and duties can eventually lead to.

A well-seasoned East Coast professional with corporate legal secretary experience was referred to Exclusively Legal through a contact at one of the legal staffing company's valued clients. The candidate wanted help in securing a local position since she was not familiar with the San Diego legal market. The candidate hoped to secure a new position in a higher salary range with a large local law firm.

Exclusively Legal recruiters met with the candidate in person to discuss what she wanted in new job opportunities. They talked in length about her experience in past roles and other key aspects that would ultimately lead to the best long-term fit.

Exclusively Legal kept in close contact with her in the following weeks to discuss several employment opportunities that developed. The candidate became intrigued with the idea of working as a real estate transactional secretary for a well-respected attorney at a national law firm.

Because the candidate still resided on the East Coast, Exclusively Legal’s placement process was approached in a unique way; the Exclusively Legal recruiters suggested that she interview with the firm’s East Coast office before flying out to San Diego to meet with the human resources manager.

The candidate did exactly that, and the client was so impressed with her qualifications that the client offered her the position with a competitive salary. She found housing quickly and was off to San Diego shortly after. She is still excited about her role and continues to be pleased with her position.

Referred to Exclusively Legal’s Las Vegas office by another candidate, this professional was seeking expert guidance for changing her career direction; however, the candidate’s experience lay outside the box from what Exclusively Legal usually worked with.

The Exclusively Legal recruiters spent extensive time with the candidate, discussing her previous job history, experience and goals, and formulated a career path she grew very excited about. Approximately one month after the candidate registered with Exclusively Legal, she was presented the perfect contract-to-hire opportunity with a prominent law firm.

Two months after the candidate began her assignment, the law firm extended her terrific offer. This was the candidate’s first experience working with a staffing agency and she is now an Exclusively Legal advocate.

A candidate registered with Exclusively Legal in Las Vegas in search of a direct-hire position that focused on reception, clerical work, filing and light legal assistance. The candidate had recently experienced substandard service with another legal staffing agency that expressed inability to work with her due to her light experience.

Eager to help her find the right employment opportunity, the Exclusively Legal recruiters met with the candidate and despite her light experience, found her to be a talented individual with strong computer skills and great references.

Two days after the candidate registered with Exclusively Legal, she secured a weeklong contract assignment. Soon, the weeklong assignment turned into a month. Shortly after, the law firm decided to keep her on the team and extended her a long-term employment offer.

A candidate who was working with the Exclusively Legal staffing team in San Diego was determined to interview with a client who was searching for an experienced legal secretary to support a challenging desk. The candidate’s qualifications were so perfect for the job, the client wanted to interview her immediately. The candidate was thrilled at the opportunity; however, she lived in another state and could not afford the airfare to fly out to San Diego on a moment’s notice.

Committed to helping, the Exclusively Legal recruiters fronted her airfare under the agreement that it would be paid back in installments once she started the job. (The recruiters were confident she was the perfect match.)
Exclusively Legal shared this information with the client, who quickly arranged a marathon day of interviews so the candidate would not have to fly out to San Diego for a second round of interviews.

The candidate made the trip and interviewed for the position. The client was impressed and happily extended the offer. The candidate is still with the company today. The client also enlisted the Exclusively Legal recruiters as its premier staffing partner to handle all placements for contract and direct-hire jobs, from executive-level professionals to contract attorney teams.
