Associate Recruitment Consultant – US & UK Legal Markets

London (City)

My client specialises in placing legal professionals into leading law firms across both the UK and US markets. Operating at the premium end of the legal sector, they work with some of the most respected firms globally and have built a reputation for delivering exceptional talent solutions.

If you're ambitious, competitive and motivated by financial reward, this could be the career move that transforms your earnings potential.

Why Join?

Unlike many recruitment businesses that offer complex commission structures, my client pays consultants 30% of everything they generate.

The Opportunity

You'll join an established Legal recruitment team focused on placing Solicitors and Attorneys into leading law firms across the UK and United States.

• Building a specialist reputation within your legal niche
• Growing and developing your own client portfolio

You'll likely possess:

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• A competitive, ambitious mindset
• Resilience and determination
• Commercial awareness
• Confidence engaging with senior professionals
• A desire to build a high-performance career with significant earning potential

Previous recruitment experience is welcome but not essential.

What's on Offer?

• £28,000 starting salary for graduates
• 30% take home on personal billings - very possible to bill £300k and take £100k
• Structured training and development
• Established UK and US markets
• Clear career progression
