Plan the Phoenix search before outreach
Employer-focused legal search firms services in Phoenix. 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
Keep the employer responsible for the hiring decision, credential verification, employment terms and final offer.
Verify the information that matters
Use Maricopa 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.
What legal search firm services include
Discovery and scoping, direct sourcing of employed candidates, screening against the written brief, a shortlist of 3 to 5 screened candidates, interview coordination, candidate communication, offer support and a 45-day replacement guarantee. Credential verification through the State Bar of Arizona stays with the employer. BEGHR’s published placement timeframe is 23 to 35 days and its fee is roughly 50% less than contingency recruiters.
What the services do not include
Temporary or contract staffing, legal advice, a determination of admission status or eligibility to practice, employment-law compliance for the employer, or a guaranteed outcome. The employer makes the hiring decision and employs the person directly.
