Job description

Are you a \"people person\" with a legal background? Do you love the thrill of making the perfect match?

Carolina Legal Associates is looking for a dynamic Legal Staffing Coordinator to join our fantastic team! For over 25 years, we’ve been the go-to experts for connecting top-tier legal professionals with the best firms and companies throughout the Carolinas. We’re growing, and we need your help to continue our success story.

What’s Our Team Vibe?

We’re not a giant, faceless corporation. We are a small, close-knit crew that truly values honesty, integrity, and good old-fashioned hard work. We interact all day, every day, so we’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys being part of a team.

Here, we all pitch in to get the job done. We’re seeking a \"can-do\" person with an \"all-hands-on-deck\" spirit. You'll fit right in if you are collaborative, solution-focused, and always willing to help a teammate. We celebrate our successes together and reward your contributions with an excellent benefits package, a competitive salary, and commission-based bonuses.

Is This You?

This role is perfect for a legal professional who is outgoing, loves a fast-paced environment, and has a natural knack for sales. If you're looking for a change of pace from a traditional legal role and want to use your skills in a new way, this could be your next great adventure.

What You Bring to the Table (Qualifications)

We are looking for a blend of personality and experience.

The Must-Haves:

• Legal field experience (this is highly preferred!)

• Top-notch professionalism and the ability to handle confidential information

The Basics:

• Bachelor’s or Associate’s degree (or equivalent work experience)


• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Outlook, Windows)


• The ability to manage a large database and work independently

Bonus Points (Preferred but not required):

• Recruiting or staffing experience


• Experience with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)


• 1-2 years in a human resources role

A Day in the Life (What You'll Do)

As our Staffing Coordinator, you will be the bridge between our clients and our candidates. You will actively:

• Partner with clients to understand their exact hiring needs for each legal role.


• Develop smart recruitment strategies based on client inquiries.


• Build and maintain strong, positive relationships with both candidates and clients to encourage future business.

Be a Talent Detective:

• Actively source and review all incoming resumes for your open positions.


• Conduct in-depth phone screens and virtual interviews to find the perfect fit.


• Perform confidential background checks, reference checks, and employment verifications.

Be the Match-Maker:

• Manage all candidate information and notes in our Applicant Tracking System (ATS).


• Coordinate and schedule all interviews between clients and candidates.


• Extend employment offers and skillfully negotiate compensation packages.

Be a Team Player:

• Provide regular updates to the team on your recruitment activities and progress.


• Track all placements, position changes, and client communications.


• Assist with maintaining our company’s website.


• Ensure all hiring practices comply with employment laws.


• ...and jump in to help with other team projects as needed!
