Plan the Austin search before outreach
Decide whether an Austin legal hire needs temporary staffing or a permanent direct-hire search. 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
Set the hiring brief and confirm who approves the engagement before asking anyone to represent the search.
Verify the information that matters
Use Travis County Courts 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.
BEGHR is not a staffing agency
Business Executive Group does not supply temporary or contract legal staff. It supports permanent direct-hire placement: 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 to settle before you hire a direct-hire legal placement
The work the hire will own, the office and work model, the reporting line, the compensation range, the interview panel and who signs the engagement. For permanent legal staffing and placement decisions, also settle which admission or certification the role requires in Texas. BEGHR takes these on the discovery call and confirms scope and fee before sourcing starts.
What BEGHR offers Austin employers for permanent legal staffing and placement decisions
Business Executive Group runs permanent legal searches for permanent legal staffing and placement decisions: legal placements in 23 to 35 days as BEGHR’s published timeframe, an 86% fill rate on active searches across its placement service, a fee roughly 50% less than contingency recruiters, a 45-day replacement guarantee and 50% off a repeat hire for the same role. Billing is milestone-based and starts after applicants are sent. The employer interviews, selects and employs the hire directly. The pricing form returns an estimate for the role.
