Job description

We are working with a small, specialist legal recruitment and advisory business that is entering a really exciting stage of growth.

This is not your standard legal recruitment role.

The business has a strong reputation across senior legal search, with a particular focus on partner level recruitment, retained mandates, exclusive assignments, succession planning, law firm growth and strategic advisory work.

They are now looking to add a legal recruiter to the team who wants to move into higher value, more senior search work.

This could suit someone who is:

• 1 to 2 years into legal recruitment
• Already billing and looking for a stronger platform
• Working lower value associate work and wanting to move into partner level search
• Strong on candidate generation, headhunting and relationship building
• Not necessarily obsessed with cold BD
• Ambitious, commercial and keen to learn proper senior legal search

The role will involve:

• Senior legal recruitment
• Supporting London focused mandates
• Working on retained and exclusive assignments
• Developing into a broader consultant role over time

There is existing work to get involved in, direct access to senior leadership and a genuine opportunity to be part of the next stage of growth.

The business is small, specialist, down to earth and very consultative in its approach.

They are open minded on background and are not looking to force someone into a rigid 360 model if that is not where their strengths sit.

The package will depend on experience, but the current commission structure includes:

• No threshold
• Commission from day one
• 10 percent commission up to £100k
• Additional interview incentives in the early months

This is a great opportunity for a legal recruiter who wants to move away from transactional recruitment and learn how to operate properly in the senior legal search market.
