Working with TruLegal, explained.

If you are exploring your next role, submit your resume or apply for an opening that interests you. If you are hiring, tell us about your talent needs. Our team will connect with you to discuss your goals and the appropriate next steps.

TruLegal treats the information you share as confidential and does not submit your resume to an employer without your express permission. Tell your representative about any confidentiality concerns, employers you want to avoid, or restrictions on how and when we should contact you.

Contract work can help you gain experience, contribute to specialized projects, explore different organizations, or bridge a gap between full-time positions. It can also be a career path in its own right. Your representative can discuss the scope, compensation, duration, and working arrangements associated with each opportunity.

You gain a partner with specialized knowledge of the market, hiring organization, and role. TruLegal prepares candidates for interviews, coordinates employer communication, gathers feedback, and supports offer negotiations. That guidance helps you understand the opportunity and present your experience effectively.

Candidate exclusivity is not required. If you work with other recruiters, keep track of where they submit your resume and share that information with your TruLegal representative. We generally cannot represent you for an opportunity where you have already been submitted recently, so coordination matters.

We prefer to use your personal phone and email to avoid exposing your search to your current employer. Let us know if you cannot check personal messages during business hours or have limited phone access. We will agree on a communication approach that works for your situation.

Check with your representative before applying directly to an employer where you would like TruLegal to represent you. We may already have a relationship with the hiring team. Coordinating first helps avoid duplicate applications and keeps your representation clear.

For opportunities where TruLegal represents you, coordinate employer communication through your representative unless you are directed otherwise. A thank-you message after an interview is appropriate; your representative can guide you on the timing and approach.

The most direct route is to apply for a position on our job board. You can also submit your resume for consideration or contact our team. Share your experience, interests, availability, and preferred working arrangements.

Proofread carefully and use accurate employment dates, including months and years. List roles from most recent to oldest, connect skills to the employers and projects where you used them, and avoid repeating the same descriptions across multiple jobs.

Give recent, relevant experience the most space. A focused two-page resume is a useful starting point, but discuss the appropriate length with your representative. Include your education and do not omit roles from your employment history without discussing them.

TruLegal reviews spelling and grammar and adds a TruLegal header so prospective employers know who represents you. Use the version prepared for the opportunity during your interviews so your materials remain consistent.

Prepare three professional references, ideally including two former supervisors. Have their names, titles, contact details, and relationship to you ready before interviewing.

Do not use someone at your current employer without discussing it with your representative first. If an employer requests a current supervisor reference, TruLegal coordinates the timing so your current employment is not put at risk prematurely.

Be prepared to verify the education listed on your resume when required. Keep your diploma and transcript available, and contact your university if you need replacement records. Your representative will explain the documentation associated with the opportunity.

The initial conversation usually lasts 20 to 30 minutes and covers your experience, career goals, and preferences. Your representative becomes your main contact for potential opportunities, interview preparation, feedback, and offer discussions.

Openings change as clients' needs evolve. If there is not a match today, keep your representative informed about changes in your skills, certifications, goals, or availability. We can also discuss education or experience that may help you become a stronger match for future opportunities.

Employers need to know whether they have already received your resume and through whom. Keep a list of applications made directly, through referrals, and through other recruiters. Sharing it early helps prevent duplicate submissions and representation conflicts.

Connect the client with your TruLegal representative before negotiating directly. Your representative can coordinate the conversation, discuss your interests, and review the terms that apply to a potential conversion.

After evaluating your background, your representative will discuss potential opportunities and answer your questions. Once you confirm your interest and authorize a submission, we send your resume and any relevant skills assessments to the employer for consideration.

TruLegal's scheduling team coordinates the interview and provides the logistics. Respond to scheduling requests and requests for additional information within 24 hours whenever possible. Prompt communication helps keep the process moving.

Be ready to interview once your resume has been submitted to an employer. Share any scheduling restrictions with your representative before submission rather than waiting until an interview is requested.

Tell your representative about training, travel, time off, or other scheduling restrictions as early as possible. Also flag planned vacations or other commitments in the coming year that could affect a start date or onboarding.

Your TruLegal representative prepares you for each interview, including the employer, interviewers, likely questions, compensation topics, and attire. Be ready to explain specific examples of your work and practice answering challenging questions.

Take preparation calls somewhere you can speak freely, hear clearly, take notes, and access the internet. The goal is to help you communicate what you have accomplished, not simply list what you know.

Discuss your compensation expectations with your TruLegal representative before interviewing. We will explain how to approach financial questions and coordinate negotiations with the prospective employer. Keep your representative informed if your expectations or priorities change.

Your representative will discuss the appropriate attire for the employer and interview format. Aim for a polished, professional appearance and clarify expectations in advance rather than guessing.

For an in-person interview, plan to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early. If you reach the area much earlier, wait nearby and review your notes before checking in. Follow the arrival instructions provided by the scheduling team.

Contact the TruLegal scheduling team using the details in your interview confirmation and notify your representative immediately. The same applies if you need to reschedule or have another last-minute issue. Let us know before the scheduled start whenever possible.

Contact your representative promptly while the details are fresh. Share who you met, the questions discussed, what you learned, how you felt about the opportunity, and any surprises.

Include whether compensation or next steps came up and whether the interview followed the expected schedule. This helps us coordinate with the employer and prepare you for the next conversation.

Your representative helps you review the offer and coordinates discussions about compensation, benefits, vacation, and other terms. An offer may depend on background, reference, or conflicts checks.

Communicate your priorities clearly, respond promptly, and let your references know when to expect contact. Confirm outstanding conditions with your representative before making changes to your current employment.

Tell your representative promptly and explain your decision. If your plans or interest have changed, communicate that before further negotiations. Being candid helps us represent you accurately and maintain a professional relationship with the employer.

Wait until you have signed your offer and your TruLegal representative confirms you are clear to proceed. Speak with your supervisor, provide written notice, establish a final working date, and agree on a transition plan.

Your representative can provide resignation guidance and materials. Keep your departure professional and follow through on the commitments you make.

TruLegal does not encourage candidates to accept counteroffers. Speak with your representative before responding, revisit the reasons you began your search, and consider whether the proposed changes address your long-term goals as well as immediate compensation.

Your relationship with TruLegal continues after you accept. Stay in touch with your representative and raise questions or concerns early. We remain available for career guidance and can help you identify the appropriate people to address issues that arise in your new position.

Contact your representative before making a decision, whether you have been in the role for a month or several years. We can talk through your concerns, career goals, and options and help you approach the next step professionally.
