Placement Service Waives Fee
The troubling state of the economy is familiar news by now.
Yet despite these challenging financial times, the Knoxville Bar Association's
Legal Placement Service has found continued success in assisting those who are
seeking new job opportunities. A persistent, well trained and highly motivated
placement staff allows LPS to succeed in one area that is vulnerable to economic
conditions.
The KBA continues to explore and pursue new and innovative avenues for job
placement opportunities. On January 20, 2010 the KBA Board of Governors voted to waive
the $100 listing fee for all new job listings received between now and December
31, 2010. This special offer applies only to KBA members.
What does this mean? It means that you can list any opening that you have in
your office (attorneys or support staff) and you will begin receiving detailed
candidate packets without spending a dime. You will only be responsible for the
placement fee if you choose to hire one of the candidates. In addition, in an
effort to help attorneys who may have recently found themselves out of work, the
KBA Board has also agreed to waive the listing fee for ANY attorney
position. We hope that this will encourage local companies who may not have a
KBA member employed in the business to utilize our service for their attorney
opening.
We encourage you to take the opportunity now to use our Placement Service. We am
confident that you will be pleased with the service. Why do we do it? The
Legal Placement Service is a membership program especially designed to assist
the Knoxville legal community. A qualified support staff is absolutely critical
to the success of your practice. That's why we're proud to offer our members
access to this service and we hope you will take advantage of our discounted
rates to satisfy your placement needs.

More
Information
At Legal Placement Service, we believe information is the key to
making the right hiring choice. You need far more than a simple resume. We make
sure you have it!
When you sign up for LPS, you identify the skill level and type of candidate you
want to hire. Finding the right candidate is easier when you can review a
detailed application which outlines employment and educational histories. Each
support staff candidate packet includes a resume, a detailed application, a
behavioral questionnaire and skill test scores. The LPS application also
includes information about salary history and employment references to allow you
to follow-up directly with the former employers. The packet typically is
approximately 20 pages in length and provides you abundant information to make
the best hiring decision.
Better
Selection
No other placement service in East Tennessee
specializes in legal staffing. What does that mean to you? It means Legal
Placement
focuses its efforts
on building a comprehensive data base of qualified legal professionals for you.
In fact, the LPS generally is able to supply approximately 15 to 20 candidates
per listing. The result is that you are able to address and resolve staffing
issues quickly. Additionally, employers are spared the time-consuming process
of advertising for potential employees. This service is cost-effective for all
members to meet their staffing needs regardless of the size of the firm.

candidate? Why not be sure? Let us design a testing package based on your
specific office needs. Choose from a wide array of available skills and software
test modules. Test up to 3 different candidates for one low fee!
