Hire an Esquire has been innovating the way legal
professionals work since 2011. We reinvented legal staffing with a
proprietary online platform that analyzes a candidate’s experience
and expertise to best match them with contract and permanent
positions at law firms and legal departments of all sizes - the
first system of its kind. The result is efficient and flexible
legal staffing, built for a modern workforce.
