How does JurisTemps evaluate candidates?


Candidacy begins with the submission of a resume and is followed by an on-site appointment with a member of our recruiting staff. Our recruiters spend close to an hour with each candidate, evaluating each individual's resume and legal experience, and discussing appropriate career path strategies. Applicants are also asked to provide three (3) professional references and letters of recommendation.

How does JurisTemps recruit candidates?

JurisTemps employs a variety of recruitment strategies. 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 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 to the greater St. Louis area.

What does JurisTemps do to ensure ongoing quality?

Providing high-quality legal staffing on a consistent basis requires the frequent attention of our staff of professional recruiters. JurisTemps closely monitors the performance, attendance, punctuality, and overall quality of our employees' work. Employers are asked to evaluate the performance of temporary employees on an on-going basis, and our recruiters maintain frequent communication with the on-site supervisor to ensure continued success.

Should I work on a temporary basis while searching for a permanent position?

Why not gain the best of both worlds? In many instances, temporary opportunities lead to full-time, permanent positions. Not only a source of continued employment and pay, temporary and temp-to-perm positions also offer the chance for you to explore a potential employer and make contacts while on the job.

Temporary work can help to fill undesirable employment gaps between permanent positions and maintain a consistent job history, evidencing one's responsibility and work ethic to potential employers. Variety, choice, flexibility and training continue to be cited by the American Staffing Association as key reasons for why nearly 2.5 million employees in the United States each year opt for temporary employment.

How do I apply?

By phone, by fax, or even via e-mail! Candidacy starts with the submission of a resume and a list of professional references. If you have specific questions, please feel free to call and to speak to one of our legal recruiters.

Is there any fee or cost for JurisTemps' services?

No. Applicants neither owe a fee nor are obligated to refund any associated expenses incurred by JurisTemps on their behalf at any time. All expenses are paid for by the employers and are negotiated in advance between JurisTemps, Inc. and its respective clients.
