Job description

Legal Recruiter – Top-Tier Law Firms

Location: London (2 days per week in the office)
Salary: Competitive base + 30–50% commission (low thresholds)

If you’re an experienced legal recruiter who enjoys working at the quality end of the market, this is a genuinely exciting opportunity.

I’m representing a small, highly regarded legal search business that specialises in placing Associates into top-tier law firms — including Magic Circle, Silver Circle, and leading US firms.

You’ll be joining a collaborative, ego-free environment where consultants share clients and work together rather than compete. From day one, you’ll have unrestricted access to the firm’s entire client base, supported by a dedicated research function to help you focus on what you do best — building relationships and making high-quality placements.

The team is mature, professional, and delivery-focused, without unnecessary KPIs or micromanagement. The culture suits recruiters who value autonomy and want to work in a genuinely supportive setting.

What’s on offer:

• Established client base across Magic Circle, Silver Circle, and US firms
• Dedicated research and resourcing support
• Low thresholds and package ranging from 30% to 50% of billings, including a competitive base salary
• Hybrid working (2 days per week in the London office)
• Collaborative, grown-up culture — no egos, no silos

If you’re a capable recruiter who enjoys working closely with top-tier law firms and you’re ready to join a small but ambitious team with a great reputation, we’d love to hear from you.
