C&L Legal - Temps/Locums

Client tips - tips on booking staff
To get the most from your Locum or Temporary Staff Member:

If possible book your locum 2-4 weeks in advance.
Prepare a written job description if they are required for two or more weeks.
Assign someone experienced within the firm to take responsibility for the locum or temp for the duration of their stay. That way they will know who can answer their questions and they can focus on delivering the work.

*Urban Myth or True Story* | 2008-11-19

As a Legal Recruiter we get to delve into people's lives! Is this a true story or an urban training contract myth? Training Contract was offered to a candidate with a decent salary but a relocation was part of the package. The candidate at first instance turned down the offer of a training contract for a paralegal position closer to home in an area of law which was the candidate's first choice. Some 2 months later the candidate decides that this was a mistake and wants to resurrect the offer. After much negotiation the firm agrees to the training contract at a higher salary specified by the candidate. The offer was made to the candidate who at this point no longer had a job. The candidate turns down the offer yet again as the candidate's partner was not able to relocate with the candidate. What is your take on this? Do let me know!!
