Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about hiring attorneys through Trueline in Pittsburgh, PA.
What types of attorney roles do you recruit for in Pittsburgh?

We recruit for a wide range of attorney positions across all major practice areas, including litigation, corporate, energy, environmental, healthcare, real estate, employment, intellectual property, family law, criminal defense, estate planning, banking, construction, and technology law. We place associates, senior associates, of counsel attorneys, and partners at law firms of all sizes—from boutique Pittsburgh firms to Am Law 100 offices—as well as in-house counsel and general counsel roles within corporate, nonprofit, and government legal departments throughout Western Pennsylvania.

Yes—this is one of our core strengths. The most qualified attorneys in Pittsburgh are typically employed and not browsing job boards. Our recruiters use targeted outreach, proprietary networks, and deep relationship-building across the Pennsylvania and Mid-Atlantic legal communities to reach passive candidates. These are high-performing professionals your firm is unlikely to find through traditional hiring channels.

We deliver a curated shortlist of pre-vetted attorney candidates within 48 hours of intake. Screened candidates are typically ready for interviews within 3–5 business days, and most roles are filled within 7–21 days depending on the seniority and specialization of the position.

Yes. We place attorneys on both a direct hire and contract basis. Whether you need a permanent associate to grow your Pittsburgh firm, an of counsel attorney for a specialized matter, or a contract attorney to manage a high-volume caseload or temporary coverage gap, we can help. Our recruiters will work with you to determine the right engagement model for your specific needs.

Our model is fully contingency-based. You pay nothing until you make a hire. There are no retainer fees, no upfront costs, and no obligation. If we don't successfully place an attorney with your firm or organization, you owe us nothing.
