# Bring Your Own Talent | Legal.io ## Bring your own talent. We handle the rest. Welcome your preferred hire to your team in as little as 72 hours. [Talk to our team](https://www.legal.io/demo) | [How it works](#how-it-works) --- **By the numbers** | Stat | Detail | |----------------|-------------------------------------| | 48–72 hrs | from go-ahead to working | | 20–30% less | than traditional staffing | | 99% | of monthly health premiums covered | | US · EU · APAC | where we can place talent | --- ## Six reasons teams bring their own talent ### 01 Hiring a referral Leverage the power of your network. You already know the right person for the job - bring them on without running a search. ### 02 Covering peak work Demand spikes and deadlines stack up. Bring in extra hands you already trust to get through the crunch. ### 03 Rehiring after a layoff A role gets cut, but the work doesn't stop. Bring the person back on a contract. ### 04 Switching vendors A contractor you rely on is stuck with a staffing firm that keeps cutting their pay and benefits. ### 05 Keeping a secondee A law firm is pulling back someone you're not done working with. We take over the engagement so they stay. ### 06 Bridging to a full-time hire You'll get the headcount eventually, but you want them now. Start them on a contract and convert when the role opens. --- ## Everything but the talent You bring the person. We take on procurement, vetting, and employment. ### Procurement We're already an approved vendor, with the certifications and coverage your procurement team requires - clearances a lone contractor can't get on their own. ### Vetting We run anyone you bring through the same interviews, background checks, and references as our own talent, so your GC gets a vetted hire, not just a name. ### Employment We become the employer of record - payroll, taxes, benefits, and liability all sit with us, not you. --- ## Everyone we place is taken care of Full benefits, on par with a salaried role. - 99% of monthly health premiums covered - Vision and dental - 401(k) access - A contribution toward dependents' coverage - Remote-friendly, flexible engagements --- ## How it works From a name to a working teammate, in days. ### Step 01: Give us the name Flag your account manager or open a request in your client portal. ### Step 02: We reach out We contact your candidate, walk them through the engagement and perform our usual vetting. ### Step 03: We set it all up Contracts, payroll, and benefits enrollment - handled on our side. ### Step 04: They start Up and running within a few days. --- ## Legal teams already work this way > "We already knew the people we wanted - Legal.io just made it happen. Three contractors brought on in under a week, with procurement, contracts, and benefits handled end to end. We kept the talent we trusted without adding to headcount." > > — Avery Chen, Director, Legal Operations · Salesforce We've placed talent this way for legal teams in the US, across Europe, and in parts of APAC. --- ## Questions teams ask us ### What is "bring your own talent"? It's for when you already know the person you want to work with. Instead of having us source someone new, you bring us the name and we bring them on for you. You work with your person; we handle the employment, compliance, benefits, and onboarding. ### I know who I want. What do I do? Flag your account manager or open a request in your client portal with the candidate and the role. We take it from there - you don't need to run a search or manage the paperwork. ### Do you still interview and vet someone I bring? Yes. We run anyone you bring through the same interviews, background checks, and references as our own talent, so your GC gets a fully vetted hire - not just a name. ### How fast can someone start? Typically 48-72 hours from your go-ahead to your candidate working, depending on background checks and your onboarding requirements. ### How is this cheaper than regular staffing? You bring the person, so there is no sourcing markup. Engagements typically run 20-30% less than traditional staffing while still including full benefits and compliance. ### What benefits does the person get? Full benefits on par with a salaried role: 99% of monthly health premiums covered, vision and dental, 401(k) access, and a contribution toward dependents' coverage. ### Where can you place people? We place talent for legal teams in the US, across Europe, and in parts of APAC. Reach out with your location and we'll confirm coverage. ### Can I bring them on full-time later? Yes. Start them on a contract now and convert when the headcount opens up, with a minimal conversion fee. --- ## Got someone in mind? Send us the name. We take it from there.
