The Perillo Group is a legal recruiting firm built on one idea: a law firm should never have to choose between hiring fast and hiring well. We run direct hire searches for attorneys, paralegals, and legal support staff for firms across the country, from local boutiques to large national firms. Every search starts with a real conversation about the role, the practice, and what success looks like in the first year, because that conversation is what separates a shortlist from a stack of resumes.
We recruit across practice areas and firm sizes, from local boutiques to large national firms:
If a role touches a practice, we have probably run the search. If we have not, we will tell you that before we take it on, not after.
Most failed searches fail before the first candidate is ever presented: a stale job description standing in for a brief, feedback that takes two weeks, and a pay range that was never tested against the market. We run it the other way.
Every search we run is direct hire. There are no upfront fees, and every placement carries a 90 day replacement guarantee. If the person does not work out in the first 90 days, we run the search again. Our fee is earned when you have the right person in the seat, not when a resume lands in your inbox.
We are based in the Philadelphia area and recruit for firms in every region of the country. Law is still a local market at the candidate level: in each city we learn which firms are growing, which practice groups are quietly losing people, and which attorneys are open to a conversation before they are ever on a job board. For national firms and multi office searches, we run the same process across offices.
Tell us the role you need filled and we will tell you honestly what the market looks like for it, how long it should take, and what it will pay. Call us at 215.528.4256 or send the role through our Request Talent page.

Nothing upfront. The Perillo Group works on a direct hire basis: you pay a fee only when your hire starts, and the fee is agreed in writing before the search begins. If we do not fill the role, you do not pay for the search.
Most clients see their first qualified candidates within days of the brief, not weeks. Exact timing depends on the practice area and how specialized the role is, and we will tell you honestly at the start what the market looks like for your search.
Attorneys at every level, including associates and partner level hires, plus paralegals, legal assistants, and legal support staff, across litigation, corporate, real estate, family law, personal injury, and most other practice areas.
Every placement carries a 90 day replacement guarantee. If the hire leaves or is let go within the first 90 days, we run the replacement search at no additional fee.
Yes. We are based in the Philadelphia area and recruit for law firms in every region of the country, including multi office searches for national firms.
No. Candidates never pay. Our fee is paid by the hiring firm, and every conversation with a candidate is confidential.
