The HiresLink Bench
Bilingual, US-timezone, college-educated. Top 3% AI + human vetted across 12,000+ applicants every quarter.
Hiring across borders scares most small business owners. It shouldn't. We've placed remote staff for 280+ US companies — here's exactly how the compliance side works.
We are the Employer of Record across 8 LATAM countries. Payroll, taxes, benefits, contracts — all handled. You sign one MSA with us, not 12 international agreements.
Every placement is W-8BEN documented and 1099-eligible. Your CPA will love us. No surprise tax exposure, no misclassification risk.
Pay one transparent USD monthly invoice. No FX swings, no payroll math, no benefits surcharges. What we quote is what you pay.
Yes — federal local rules and the state court rules of the jurisdictions you practice in. We screen on your specific bench before shortlisting.
Legal Secretaries start at $1,560/mo per month in salary, with no upfront fee. A comparable in-house legal secretarie in the US averages about $46K per year before payroll taxes, benefits, software seats and office overhead, so most legal teams save roughly 59% on the same scope of work. Staffing adds a monthly management fee equal to the lower of $800 or 25% of the monthly salary (3-month minimum, 15-day notice). Direct hire is a one-time 20% of annual salary.
The flat rate covers sourcing, AI + human vetting, skills testing, reference checks, contracting, payments in local currency, compliance paperwork and ongoing HR support. You get a dedicated legal secretarie working your hours on Microsoft Word, Best Authority, iManage, NetDocuments — not a shared pool or a ticket queue.
You receive a shortlist in 5 business days of your intake call. Most legal clients interview 2-3 pre-vetted legal secretaries in the first week and have someone onboarded in 7-14 days, because candidates are already tested on Pleading and brief formatting, Table of authorities (Best Authority), Attorney calendar management.
Every candidate passes a four-stage screen: AI-assisted resume and background parsing, a live English interview (C1 level or above), a hands-on software test in Microsoft Word, Best Authority, iManage, and two verified employer references. Only the top ~3% of applicants reach your shortlist.
Talent is based in Latin America (Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil), so they work US Eastern, Central, Mountain or Pacific business hours with full real-time overlap. Your legal secretarie joins your standups, answers Slack during your day and closes work in the same cycle as your onsite team.
Our legal bench works daily in Microsoft Word, Best Authority, iManage, NetDocuments, Outlook. If your stack is different, we screen specifically for it before the shortlist — day-to-day responsibilities include Format and proofread pleadings to court-rule specs, Build tables of authority and citations, Manage attorney calendars and meeting prep.

Reviews from US companies that hired legal staff through HiresLink.
"Half our client base is Spanish-speaking and we were burning paralegal hours on translation. The assistant they placed drafts in both languages and handles client intake calls without supervision. Shortlist was in my inbox in 5 business days; I'd been quoted six weeks by a legal staffing agency in town."
