Description du poste

I'm working with a leading UK law firm to recruit an experienced Talent Acquisition Manager to lead recruitment across both legal and business services teams. This position can be based in either Leeds or Birmingham.

This is a senior, visible role within the HR team, managing a small Talent Acquisition team while partnering closely with Partners, Heads of Division and senior leaders across the firm. It would suit someone who knows the legal recruitment market, is comfortable operating with senior stakeholders and enjoys combining strategic thinking with hands-on recruitment delivery.

The Role:

• Leading, supporting and developing a team of three within Talent Acquisition.
• Partnering with Partners and senior leaders to understand current and future hiring needs.
• Developing proactive talent pipelines, particularly across specialist and hard-to-fill legal roles.
• Managing recruitment from initial briefing and sourcing through to offer and onboarding.
• Providing market insight and advice around recruitment trends, talent availability and sourcing strategies.
• Developing employer brand and EVP activity to strengthen attraction in the legal market.
• Managing recruitment agencies and external suppliers, ensuring quality and value.
• Using recruitment data and MI including time to hire, source, cost and pipeline activity to drive improvements.
• Reviewing and improving recruitment processes, systems and ways of working to create a more efficient and consistent hiring experience.

About you

For this role, I'm keen to speak to experienced Talent Acquisition professionals who have worked within a law firm and understand the complexities of recruiting legal talent.

You'll ideally bring:

• Strong in-house Talent Acquisition experience within the legal sector.
• Experience leading or managing a recruitment/TA team.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the credibility to influence Partners and senior leaders.
• Strong knowledge of the legal recruitment market and different sourcing channels.
• A commercial and data-led approach to recruitment.
• Experience using LinkedIn Recruiter and recruitment/ATS systems.
• A proactive approach to talent pipelining rather than purely reactive recruitment.
• The ability to balance strategic projects with hands-on recruitment delivery.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being close to the recruitment activity but also wants the scope to shape how Talent Acquisition operates across a law firm, improving processes, developing the team and strengthening the firm's approach to attracting talent.
