Discreet by default

Confidential recruiting

Sensitive searches are handled with discretion. We limit information sharing to what is necessary for a candidate to evaluate the opportunity.

Common challenges

Legal hiring challenges

Practice-area fit, book-of-business considerations and firm culture require careful, deliberate outreach rather than large candidate blasts.

Process

Search process

We work from a written brief, engage candidates directly and screen for experience, interest and long-term fit before employer introductions.

Pricing

One flat placement fee.

Pay $2,999 only after a successful hire. The fee does not change with the candidate's salary.

Make the hire with greater confidence.

If a placement does not work out during the first 90 days, we restart the search for the same role and provide a new replacement shortlist, subject to the terms of your agreement.

90-day support period

Coverage begins on the candidate's start date and continues for 90 days.

Replacement search for the same role

If a placement does not work out, we restart the search and provide a new shortlist for the same position.

Terms agreed before the search begins

Replacement conditions are documented in the service agreement so expectations stay clear on both sides.

Bar admission, licensing and employment eligibility remain subject to the employer's hiring process. Flow Placed does not provide legal advice.
