Job description

Capture the words that shape justice. No legal experience requiredโ€”we train and certify you.

Are you detail-oriented, tech-savvy, and looking for a meaningful career with a clear path to grow?ย Join Esquire as aย Digital Reporterโ€”a vital role where you preserve the official record of legal proceedings and help keep the justice system moving.

You donโ€™t need a law degree or prior experience. If youโ€™re reliable, professional, and ready to learn, weโ€™ll give you the training, certification support, and technology to thrive.

Why Choose Esquire?

Esquire Deposition Solutions is a national leader in legal support services, known for innovation, professionalism, and exceptional quality. The legal industry is facing a serious court reporter shortageโ€”and digital reporters are the scalable solution keeping cases on track. That means real demand, real stability, and a genuine opportunity to build a career.

Weโ€™re focused onย Getting it Rightย for our clients, our partners, and our employees, and weโ€™re committed to helping you continually grow your skills.

About the Role

As aย Digital Reporter, youโ€™ll capture and preserve the verbatim record of depositions and other legal proceedings. Using purpose-built recording software and hardwareโ€”on-site within your region or remotelyโ€”youโ€™ll produce high-quality audio/video documentation, administer oaths, mark and secure exhibits, create annotations for transcription, and keep proceedings running smoothly and professionally.

What Youโ€™ll Do
  • Capture accurate, high-quality audio/video records of legal proceedings using advanced equipment
  • Set up and test your equipment before each proceeding so the record is flawless
  • Administer oaths and maintain control of the proceeding as an independent, neutral authority
  • Annotate essential testimony for transcription, search, and playback
  • Manage and secure exhibits, back up all files, and complete job worksheets
  • Build strong, professional relationships with attorneys, clients, and colleagues
What Youโ€™ll Need
  • Mindset:ย Strong attention to detail, dependability, and a calm, professional presence under pressure
  • Tech comfort:ย Confidence with everyday technology and Microsoft Office; willingness to learn our recording platforms with full training provided
  • Typing:ย Touch typing at roughly 50 wpm with good accuracy
  • Certification:ย Willingness to obtain a Notary Public license and AAERT/CAPTUR Certified Electronic Reporter (CER) certificationโ€”we support you through the process
  • Education:ย High school diploma or equivalent. A college degree or court reporting, legal studies, communications, or A/V background is a plus, but not required
  • Logistics:ย Valid driverโ€™s license, reliable transportation, and ability to pass a national criminal background check
What Success Looks Like
  • Producing accurate, high-quality recordings and annotations for transcription
  • Delivering exceptional professionalism with clients and colleagues
  • Meeting deadlines and exceeding quality-control benchmarks
Your Career Path

Start as aย Digital Reporterย and grow with us. With certification and strong performance, you can advance toward senior reporter, trainer/mentor, quality roles, and area management. We invest in your development at every step.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package including
  • Insurance:ย Medical, dental, vision, short- and long-term disability insurance, basic life insurance, and supplemental insurance for employees and their dependents
  • Retirement:ย Eligibility to enroll in the companyโ€™s 401(k) plan with match contribution
  • Paid Time Off:ย Employees receive two weeks of vacation leave per year, or 80 hours annually
  • Holidays:ย 10 paid holidays per year and 2 paid floating holidays per year
  • Sick Leave:ย 5 paid sick days per year
  • Tuition Reimbursement:ย Financial assistance to support your career development
Work Environment

This role involves a mix of field workโ€”travel to proceedings, generally within a 75-mile radius of your locationโ€”and office/remote work. Youโ€™ll thrive here if youโ€™re adaptable, organized, and professional.

Donโ€™t meet every requirement?

Weโ€™re building a diverse, inclusive team and we hire for potential. If youโ€™re excited about this role but your background doesnโ€™t line up perfectly, apply anywayโ€”you may be exactly who weโ€™re looking for, here or in another role.
