Based in Glasgow (Hybrid) | Full-time | Competitive Salary + Bonus + Benefits

This time, it’s your move.

At Iconic Resourcing, we spend every day helping ambitious people make their next great career move. Now, it’s our turn - and we’re hiring into our Legal division. Whether you’re a Consultant ready for your next step, or a Senior looking for more autonomy and space to grow, this role offers a platform to do your best work - with a brand, culture, and leadership team that backs you.

We’re a boutique consultancy, headquartered in Glasgow, proudly Scottish but globally minded. Our clients span from local independents to international firms, and we support them through high-quality, relationship-led recruitment.

This role is about building lasting relationships, delivering high-quality legal hires, and making your mark in a high-performing, low-ego environment. If you’re already in a 360 recruitment role - ideally in legal, or something adjacent like professional services, finance, or compliance - and you’re looking for more autonomy, more credibility, and more connection to your work, you’ll want to keep reading.

You’ll be joining a team that values pace, integrity, and performance and understands that great recruitment doesn’t happen by accident.

The Opportunity

This is a 360 role, with full ownership of your desk - but not without support.

We believe in giving our consultants the freedom to operate their market, while also providing the structure, tools, and insights that help you perform at your best.

What you'll be doing:

• Managing end-to-end legal recruitment across private practice and in-house
• Building and maintaining deep relationships with law firms and legal teams
• Nurturing candidate pipelines and owning your niche
• Winning new business and reactivating warm relationships
• Contributing to divisional strategy, BD campaigns and brand positioning

Level-wise, we’re open to:

• Consultants who have 12+ months’ 360 experience and are ready for more ownership
• Senior/Principal Consultants looking to elevate their desk, step into mentoring, or shape new service lines
• You don’t need to have done legal recruitment specifically - professional services, finance or another advisory sector is transferable if your mindset and values are aligned

Why Iconic?

Since 2019, we’ve grown to a team of 13 across Legal, Finance, HR, Marketing, Technology and more. We're boutique in size, but sharp in ambition. We’re proud to work with a range of well-known Scottish firms, as well as national and international organisations across the UK, including leading names both in the legal and professional services sectors. Our track record of successful placements has led to ongoing growth, fuelled by referrals, results, and trusted partnerships

What you’ll find here is a culture where:

• We share performance data not to micromanage, but to get better together
• You’re expected to own your performance - and supported to improve it
• Leadership is accessible, honest and invested in your growth
• We want people to grow with us, not just stay in one lane

We share activity metrics, CVs sent, interviews, offers, and revenue every week across the team. Not because we love reports - but because we care about progress. We look at data to understand where support is needed, where wins are building, and where small tweaks can make a big difference.

No aggressive call quotas. No vanity stats. Just smart tracking, with the right intent.

Working with us, you’ll receive:

• Monthly uncapped commission and additional annual kickers
• Vitality private medical insurance at all levels
• Hybrid working, early Friday finishes
• 33 days annual leave
• Birthday day off
• Quarterly wellness perks, Lunch Club, team social budget
• Clear path to Senior/Principal, leadership, or a sector pivot if you want it
• All the tools you need: LinkedIn Recruiter, Firefish, Odro, plus admin and marketing support
• Training programs including continuous learning and development platform
• Volunteer time off

Meet the Legal Team

You’ll work closely with Emma Pringle, our Associate Director who leads the Legal division. Emma is known for her market expertise and calm confidence - she’s as commercial as she is people-first, and she’ll help you shape a successful desk on your own terms.

Our wider team includes colleagues across Finance, HR, Technology and Marketing who collaborate across verticals, share client leads, and genuinely enjoy working together. We're growing fast and doing it without losing our culture in the process.

• A Consultant feeling boxed in at a big agency, ready for a fresh challenge
• A Senior recruiter who wants more say, more strategy, and fewer layers
• Someone who’s built great relationships, delivers quality over quantity, and wants to do more of that
• Looking for a role where you can build, not just bill

You value credibility over cliches, care about your clients and candidates, and want to grow in a team that’s smart, supportive, and switched on.
