Plan the San Diego search before outreach
How a San Diego employer can compare the cost of temporary legal staffing with a direct-hire engagement. 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
Do not rely on a universal cost claim; compare the actual engagement, role complexity and agreed delivery responsibilities.
Verify the information that matters
Use San Diego 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.
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.
The real cost of a direct-hire legal placement engagement
Cost has three parts: the fee, the time the role stays open and the internal hours spent screening. BEGHR’s fee is roughly 50% less than contingency recruiters; its published placement timeframe is 23 to 35 days; and the shortlist of 3 to 5 screened candidates is screened against the brief before your team spends interview time. Weigh all three against an internal search that reaches only active applicants.
What BEGHR offers San Diego 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.
