Permanents Consultant - Legal

Legal Recruitment Consultant - Warm Desk | London & Surrounds | Hybrid Working

Are you ready to make your mark in a niche, high-potential market? We're looking for a driven Legal Recruitment Consultant to take ownership of a warm desk covering in-house legal roles across London (Central & Greater), Kent, and parts of Essex.

You'll be placing top legal talent into commercial businesses - from Legal Admins and Paralegals to General Counsels. This is a 360° recruitment role, but with a twist: BD here is more strategic - think LinkedIn networking and senior-level candidate flips, not cold calling.

Why this role?

• A warm desk with 11 live roles and growing
• All levels of in-house legal roles across a variety of industries
• A chance to build a name for yourself - this desk has huge potential and hasn't been fully tapped yet
• You'll have the freedom to shape your approach and own your market
• Legal is a tight-knit, high-value sector - perfect for someone who wants to build deep relationships and long-term success

Who you are:

• Recruitment experience desirable (any sector - great consultants adapt!)
• A willingness to learn the legal market and how it ticks
• Ideally, experience working a specialist desk or niche market
• Someone who thrives in a flexible, hybrid environment

What You'll Be Doing?

• Comprehensive Sales and 360 Recruitment Process: Take charge of the entire recruitment cycle, emphasising business development and client acquisition. From initial job briefings and candidate sourcing to conducting interviews, negotiating offers, and closing deals, you'll be at the forefront of driving revenue growth.
• Proactive Candidate Sourcing: Leverage job boards, referrals, and headhunting techniques via platforms like LinkedIn Recruiter. Actively source candidates through advertising, social media, and referrals. Register and interview candidates, conduct thorough background checks, and match them with suitable job opportunities. Ensure timely and effective promotion of candidates for interviews to fill vacancies promptly.
• Strategic Relationship Building: Cultivate and maintain strong relationships with clients and candidates, providing exceptional service and expert advice. Network extensively to build a robust client base and drive sales, ensuring a steady stream of business opportunities.
• Collaborative Success: Work closely with your colleagues to ensure the overall success of the branch. Maximise cross-selling opportunities and contribute to a collaborative team environment that drives collective achievement.
