UK Legal Recruitment
Legal Talent Search
The legal industry is arguably one of the most complex and challenging job markets in which to recruit. The market is incredibly conservative, due to the nature of the profession, and complex in terms of expertise which can often be extremely granular.
Lawyers in the UK are rarely ‘jack-of-all-trades’ professionals, and tend to specialise and sub-specialise in one field or another. For this reason finding a replacement or expanding your team with the right candidate is a massive challenge. This is the case for both boutique law firms and global legal practice.
All of our recruiters hail from a legal background, which means that we are able to build relationships and understanding with our candidates and clients in a manner that would be impossible to achieve at a general recruitment practice. Our recruiters take into account your commercial ambitions and help to market the role to our candidates, and refine our search as far as possible to provide the best possible matches.
While technology has aided the search process massively, nothing can compare to personal relationships. We are firm believers that the best form of recruitment relies on understanding both our client and candidates requirements so that we can best prepare both sides.
What can you expect from our service?
You can expect to be able to pick up the phone and speak with our senior team, meet them face-to-face in London, or receive a prompt response to any digital communication.
You can expect honest advice in regards to whether your requirements are realistic, and the potential challenges that you may face.
You will not be spammed. We make a real point of sending only the most appropriate candidates your way.
Moreover, we will only send you CVs and profiles of candidates who have given us express permission to represent them to yourselves.
In the instance that a candidate mistakenly instructs two agencies – We will never expect a firm to pay a fee to two agencies. The candidate will decide who is representing them and we will respect their wishes.
If you have a requirement for a Partner, Associate, Solicitor, Paralegal or Locum please contact us today.
Helping you to find your next role:
Speak with one of our experts. We will do all that we can to find you a new role.
We will ask you questions as to your areas of specialty, examples of your work, reasons for seeking a move, what motivates you, what kind of firm you are looking for, cultural fit, billing targets and desired compensation.
With established relationships in place with 200+ law firms in the UK, we will then confidentially approach a select group of hiring partners and speak about you in an anonymised manner to ascertain whether there is a requirement at the moment, or interest in your profile. Once we ascertain interest, we will report back to you, before requesting your express consent to be represented, before disclosing your identity/revealing your CV to our client.
The above approach is where we really add value to job seekers, as a lot of work will go into securing you interviews off-market.
Typically with firms that are not currently publicising their requirements. This also means that if you secure an interview, there will be far less competition vs applying to positions publicly advertised. Finally, by working with us in this way, it means that you do not need to risk sending your CV to other lawyers in the market. It means that you can find out whether the market is interested in you without any public risk of your employer finding out that you are looking for a new role.
Upon securing you an interview, you can expect us to play an active role in preparing you for your interview. Supporting and guiding you through the process, helping you to negotiate your salary, and overcome any sticking points.
We will stay in touch with you to support you in your first 3 months of working in your position with the view of helping you settle in.
