Today, Axiom serves more than half of the Fortune 100 and is recognised for market‑leading Net Promoter Scores from both clients and employees. Our model enables clients to operate more efficiently while empowering legal professionals to pursue more of the work they love.

The Role

We are seeking a Talent Recruitment Manager to support the continued growth of Axiom’s legal talent business in London and the broader EMEA region.

This role offers the opportunity to help shape Axiom’s presence in the UK market while working alongside a collaborative, high‑performing global Talent team.

Key Responsibilities

As a Talent Acquisition Manager, you will be responsible for:

• Executing against Axiom’s legal talent acquisition strategy in the UK, including the identification, assessment, and attraction of high‑calibre legal talent through both traditional and creative sourcing channels.
• Serving as the primary point of contact for lawyer and legal professional candidates, managing the full‑cycle recruitment process while ensuring a positive, transparent, and efficient candidate experience.
• Acting as a trusted advisor to internal stakeholders by providing insight into market trends, talent availability, pipeline health, and recruitment progress.
• Partnering with business and talent leadership to develop customised, strategic hiring plans aligned to client needs and evolving market demand.
• Building and maintaining strong, long‑term relationships with legal talent and consistently acting as an ambassador for the Axiom brand.
• Staying current on recruiting trends, competitive dynamics, and developments within the legal industry to continuously inform and refine recruitment strategy.

Qualifications & Experience

• 5+ years of professional recruiting experience and/or legal experience, ideally within the legal, professional services, or regulated industries.
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to engage, influence, and build credibility with senior‑level candidates and stakeholders.
• Strong relationship‑building skills and the ability to operate effectively with sophisticated, high‑calibre talent.
• High attention to detail, paired with strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment.
• Sound judgment, problem‑solving capability, and confidence operating with a high degree of autonomy.
• A genuine interest in Axiom’s business model and the evolving legal services landscape.
• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution or equivalent professional experience.
• Legal eligibility to work in the United Kingdom.
