How we helped Valeria Schvartzman build a high-performing legal team without the overhead.
When Valeria Schvartzman first reached out to us, her legal team was growing quickly, and feeling the pressure. With more cases to handle and more clients to serve, they needed additional support to keep operations running efficiently. Like many small and mid-sized firms, she faced a familiar challenge: finding experienced legal help without the high costs of traditional hiring, and without the time to build a rigorous screening process to avoid poor hires.
That’s where Resorsi stepped in.
We began by analyzing her operations, reviewing her SOPs, and crafting an accurate job description aligned with her tools and workflow. This gave us a clear roadmap of the profile her team needed, technically, culturally, and operationally.
Screening Comes First
Before introducing any candidates, we ran every applicant through our multi-step screening process to ensure both technical qualifications and contextual fit for U.S.-based law firms:
- Language, Detail, and Logic Testing
Candidates completed a test modeled after the grammar section of the ACT, evaluating:- English proficiency
- Attention to detail
- Basic critical thinking
- English proficiency
- Video Scenario Interview – Real Estate Context
Qualified applicants participated in a video interview focused on practical legal tasks, such as:
“Walk us through how you’d approach creating an operating agreement for a new commercial real estate property.” - Structured Interview & Scoring
We conducted structured interviews assessing prior roles, technical competencies, and situational judgment. Each answer was scored against predefined criteria to ensure objectivity and consistency. - Goal Alignment
We evaluated long-term fit by discussing candidates’ 1-, 3-, and 5-year career goals, ensuring alignment with the firm’s growth trajectory. - Final Evaluation
All stages were compiled into a final candidate score. Only the top performers were introduced to the client.
From Screening to Success, in Under a Week
Within just a few days, we introduced Valeria to several associate attorneys: fully trained lawyers eager to work as paralegals on her team. While that may sound idealistic, these professionals brought deep legal expertise, exceptional attention to detail, and strong English communication skills, at a significantly lower cost.
What started with one paralegal quickly grew. Through Resorsi, Valeria was also able to hire a Paralegal and bookkeeping support, building a comprehensive legal operations team without disrupting her core business.
Smart Legal Hiring, Without Breaking the Bank
Our approach allowed her firm to ramp up in under 10 days, gaining immediate support in areas such as:
- Drafting and document review
- Due diligence
- Transaction coordination and management
In fact, our hires came in at 60–70% lower cost than U.S.-based equivalents, without sacrificing quality or professionalism.
Client Feedback
