Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that Permanent Placements only handles permanent placements?
Permanent Placements works exclusively on direct-hire, permanent positions. The firm does not recruit for temporary assignments, contract roles, or interim engagements of any kind. Every candidate who works with Permanent Placements is being considered for a full-time, permanent opportunity at a law firm or corporate legal department. This focus means the firm’s conversations, introductions, and employer relationships are all oriented around long-term career moves rather than short-term staffing needs.
What types of paralegal positions do New York City Paralegal Recruiters at Permanent Placements fill?
Permanent Placements places paralegals across a wide set of practice areas, including litigation, corporate, real estate, intellectual property, labor and employment, trusts and estates, immigration, and more. Both law firm and corporate legal department roles are within scope. The right fit depends on a candidate’s background, experience level, and the type of environment they are seeking, all of which are discussed at the outset of the search process.
Is the search process confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is a core part of how Permanent Placements operates. Candidates are never submitted to a prospective employer without an explicit conversation beforehand. The firm understands that many legal professionals are conducting a job search while currently employed, and it treats that situation with the discretion it requires. Every introduction is deliberate and made only when there is meaningful alignment between the candidate’s background and the employer’s needs.
Does Permanent Placements work with candidates outside of New York City?
While New York City Paralegal Recruiters at Permanent Placements actively serve the New York market, the firm operates nationally. Permanent Placements maintains offices in Chicago, Illinois, and Cupertino, California, and conducts active placements in key legal markets including Boston, Massachusetts; Kansas City, Missouri; Washington, D.C.; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Candidates in these and other major metropolitan areas are encouraged to reach out to discuss what opportunities may be available.
How is Permanent Placements different from a general staffing agency?
A general staffing agency typically serves multiple industries and may handle everything from administrative roles to technical positions. Permanent Placements works solely within the legal industry, placing legal professionals in permanent roles. That exclusive focus means the firm’s recruiters understand legal career structures, practice area distinctions, and the specific expectations that law firms and corporate legal departments bring to a hire. Candidates benefit from working with people who speak the language of the legal profession rather than treating it as one vertical among many.
