CPS Group is proud to be supporting a highly respected global legal services organisation in the search for a bright, professional, and motivated Project Resourcing Executive to join their growing team.

About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity to join a well-established and fast-growing legal services team that delivers flexible legal staffing solutions to a broad client base, from major corporations to financial services institutions and leading firms across the UK.

As a Project Resourcing Executive, you’ll play a key role in sourcing and engaging interim legal consultants to support on client projects. You’ll work closely with hiring managers and internal teams to match legal professionals with active vacancies, help manage the end-to-end candidate journey, and provide a fantastic experience for all involved.

This role would suit a graduate from a law or business-related background (e.g. English, Psychology, HR, Economics, etc.) or someone with experience in professional services, recruitment, or legal administration.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain strong relationships with a pool of interim legal consultants
• Match consultant profiles with incoming client requests based on legal skillsets, availability, and fit
• Manage the full resourcing process – from initial outreach to scheduling interviews and gathering feedback
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records using the applicant tracking system (Bullhorn)
• Support hiring managers with interview coordination and briefing consultants prior to interviews
• Collaborate with operations and compliance teams to ensure all necessary documentation is completed for placements
• Track key metrics and KPIs to support team performance and delivery goals

What We’re Looking For:

• Bright, articulate and organised individual with excellent communication skills
• Strong interest in legal, professional services, or recruitment
• Personable and confident phone manner with strong relationship-building ability
• High attention to detail and strong admin and organisational skills
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, target-driven environment
• Degree educated (Law, HR, English, Psychology, Business, Economics or similar preferred)
• Previous experience in a corporate/professional services environment is desirable but not essential (internships, work experience or part-time roles in law firms, recruitment, or HR a plus)

What’s in It for You?

• Join a globally recognised organisation with a forward-thinking and supportive culture
• Develop commercial awareness, stakeholder skills and legal market knowledge
• Gain hands-on experience working across interim resourcing, legal staffing, and internal recruitment
• Generous training and support with long-term progression opportunities
• Cardiff-based office with hybrid working (3 days on-site)
