Why use a legal recruitment agency?

Moving job roles or companies can be a life-changing if not a career-changing decision that must not be taken lightly. Legal recruitment firms can make this moving process easier not just for the employer but also for the potential employee. So from the perspective of a potential employee, why should you use a legal recruitment firm to find your next role?

Legal recruitment firms have a vast network of employers which can make looking for roles easier as recruitment firms provide an array of roles to choose from. This makes the job hunting process more efficient as you don’t have to go searching for roles. At Wicker Hamilton, all of our jobs are posted on our LinkedIn, Instagram page and numerous job boards. Alternatively, we may headhunt you. This sounds daunting but it really means that we, as professional recruiters, believe you are the perfect fit for a particular vacancy we are looking to fill. So make sure you respond to those DMs!

We recruit for top law firms and companies which means the role that we headhunt you for may be an upgrade from your current role. Always worth some thought and consideration. Accepting upgrade roles can accelerate your legal career and give you the vital experience needed to progress across the industry. So using recruitment firms like us can be really beneficial for your career prospects.

As we are connected directly to employers we are also able to follow up your application and, as we would already know some information about you, we can communicate why you’d be a good fit for the role directly to the employer themselves.

Job hunting and finding the perfect role for you within the legal sector is notoriously tricky. Consider using a legal recruitment firm to help you find your perfect role…
