Recruitment Consultant (Legal Executive Search) | High-Performance Desk
London | Full-time | 5 days in-office (fast-track hybrid available at Senior level)
We’re building one of the fastest-growing specialist executive search businesses in the legal market, partnering with elite law firms and global organisations on senior-level hiring mandates where the stakes are high and the delivery matters.
This is not traditional recruitment.
This is high-performance legal headhunting + commercial business development at the top end of the market.
The Role
You’ll join a high-performance team working across legal executive search and business development, building relationships with senior legal professionals and decision-makers across private practice and in-house markets.
You will start on a 180 model, owning the front end of the search process:
- Cold calling and market mapping senior legal talent
- Building and owning candidate pipelines across niche legal markets
- Booking high-quality meetings with candidates and your manager
- Supporting live mandates on £50k+ average fee roles
- Developing into full 360 search delivery as you progress
From day one, you’re on the phones (day 3/4), learning fast, and operating directly alongside senior consultants and managers.
We hire for edge, energy, and execution, not just CVs.
You’ll likely come from:
- Competitive sport (BUCS, university sport, captains, elite-level competition)
- Law graduates or academically strong individuals with commercial awareness
- Or outstanding graduates (minimum 2:1) who are genuinely exceptional
What matters most:
- Big energy and natural commercial presence
- Strong emotional intelligence and ability to build trust quickly
- Resilience, competitiveness, and consistency under pressure
- A “never settle” mindset
- Ability to hold intelligent, engaging, slightly “fluffy” conversations with senior professionals
If you’re a graduate — you must stand out. No exceptions.
Progression & Performance
This is a meritocracy built on output.
- First promotion: typically 6–7 months
- Promotion criteria: 3 closed deals
- Fast-track into 360 delivery and senior search roles
- Clear pathway into leadership and partner-level earnings
You’re not waiting years to prove yourself — performance moves you forward.
You’ll be embedded in a structured, high-intensity learning environment:
- Daily coaching with senior consultants and managers
- On-desk training (you sit next to leadership)
- Classroom learning + live role plays + real-time feedback
- Full lifecycle exposure as you progress
This is a learn-fast, execute-faster environment.
Performance is visibly rewarded:
- Monthly lunch clubs at premium London venues (Scotts, 14 Hills, The Wolseley, Sushi Samba, Sexy Fish)
- Annual high achievers trips (Skiing, Bahamas)
- Top billers + wildcard spots for rising talent
- Regular socials, drinks, and team events
If you win here, you don’t go unnoticed.
