How does JurisTemps stand apart from

Since its inception in 1997, JurisTemps has set new standards
of excellence in legal staffing with its client-tailored recruiting
services, including temporary, temp-to-hire, and permanent
staffing, on-site recruiting consultations, and out-placement
programs. As a locally-owned and operated company, JurisTemps
offers a unique approach to legal recruitment and temporary
staffing. While implementing client-specific recruiting programs,
our recruiters work hard to match job listings to specifically
qualified applicants. All of our recruiting services are individually
designed to accomodate specific client needs.
With what trade and professional associations
is JurisTemps affiliated?
JurisTemps is a proud member of the AMERICAN STAFFING ASSOCIATION.
We are also affiliated with the Bar Association of Metropolitan
St. Louis (BAMSL), the Gateway Chapter of the Association of
Legal Administrators (ALA), the American Corporate Counsel Association
(ACCA), and the St. Louis Association of Legal Assistants (SLALA).
Management welcomes other affiliations, as applicable, on a
case-by-case basis.
We already have recruiters and HR managers,
so why would we need JurisTemps?
As as professional staffing company, it is our job to maintain
a constant stream of qualified candidates and potential job
seekers. Through extensive networking and professional associations,
JurisTemps is able to offer its employers the access to the
passive job seekers who may not otherwise be found through countless
online and classified advertisements. In addition, our in-house
database, JurisMatch, enables our recruiters to stay on the
cutting edge of legal staffing. With an unlimited capacity for
both active and inactive candidates, JurisTemps may be able
to find the specific match for your position in a matter of
minutes. Thus, enabling our recruiters to respond quickly to
your requests with qualified candidates. After all, legal staffing
and recruitment is our full-time job.
How does JurisTemps recruit its talent?
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 does JurisTemps do to ensure ongoing quality?
Providing high-quality legal staffing on a consistent basis

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.
