Lateral Recruitment Manager
Hybrid | UK Law Firm
London
Fixed Term Contract – 12 months
Take ownership of all lateral associate recruitment
This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys autonomy, responsibility, and visibility. Working closely with the Head of Recruitment, you will take the lead on all associate-level lateral hiring across the firm, managing the process from initial briefing through to offer and onboarding.
This is an additional headcount position, reflecting the firm’s continued growth and investment in talent. While the firm remains relatively small by City standards, with around 450 people, it is expanding steadily and offers the opportunity to make a genuine impact.
You will partner closely with senior stakeholders across the business, managing relationships with agencies, identifying direct sourcing opportunities, and ensuring an exceptional candidate experience throughout the hiring process.
The role offers significant autonomy. While you will work closely with the Head of Recruitment, you will be trusted to run the firm’s associate recruitment activity and become the key point of contact for hiring managers and candidates alike.
You will also provide market insight, monitor recruitment trends, and help ensure the firm remains competitive in attracting high-calibre legal talent.
Culturally, there are few firms that compare. Despite its size, the firm consistently outperforms many of its larger competitors and has built a reputation as one of the best law firms to work for in London.
Why? Because people genuinely enjoy working there. If you want to feel valued, maintain a healthy work-life balance, and be surrounded by some of the most approachable and supportive professionals in the legal industry, this is a firm well worth considering.
A growing UK law firm offering a visible and influential role, with the opportunity to shape and develop associate hiring as the business continues to expand.
