Has any one worked temp to perm paralegal/legal secretary roles?


I am realizing that once you work for am agency as a temp most lawfirms in my experience are saving money because they don't have to pay parking PTO or paid holidays to temps. They also require you to be in five days a week while permanent employees can work a hybrid schedule. It's not in their best interest to hire you permanently as it cost them more and you end up being strung along in hopes the job becomes permanent.

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
