Job Description:

Trainee Legal Recruitment Consultant

Leeds

£26,000 to £27,000 base plus bonus

Clear route into a consultant role

Not all resourcer roles lead anywhere.

Some keep you in delivery. This one does not.

I’m working with a specialist legal recruitment team that hires at an early stage and trains people into consultants.

What you will do

  • speak to candidates every day
  • build relationships in a defined market
  • use LinkedIn and internal systems to map talent
  • support live roles and generate candidate pipelines

This is a candidate-led role. Not admin.

What happens next

You start on the candidate side.

As you build confidence and market knowledge, you move into client work and then into running your own desk.

Real examples

  • Consultant joined as a resourcer. Now billing £200k+
  • Another followed the same path. Now consistently £180k to £220k

This is a proven route. Not a promise.

What they want

  • 6 to 18 months in recruitment

or

  • a graduate who is confident on the phone and wants a long-term career in recruitment

You need to be comfortable speaking to people daily and willing to learn.

What you get

  • £26,000 to £27,000 base
  • bonus linked to placements
  • structured development
  • hybrid working once established
  • a team with strong tenure

This will not suit you if

  • you want a purely admin role
  • you are unsure about recruitment as a career
  • you prefer email over speaking to people

If you want to build a career in recruitment, message me.
