Legal Headhunting

Think all legal recruitment is the same? We have an objection…

Legal Headhunting

Headhunter is the legal recruitment specialist.

We don’t find people quite like anyone else because we don’t recruit quite like anyone else.

Our focus is to approach passive candidates. Very few legal professionals answer ads or trawl websites. You absolutely must directly approach them.

These are busy, time deprived and intelligent individuals. Different rules apply, our methods work.
It helps us find the niche, the expert, the leaders and the loyal.

Where are the people who can help take your business forward?

Where is the niche specialist, the next head of department or partner going to come from?

You want exceptional, but exceptional doesn’t sit on a list in your average UK legal recruitment agency. Exceptional doesn’t come to you. You have to go out and find it – and we know where.

We take the old fashioned route to ensuring that the people we recommend are a perfect match for your business: we talk to them.

So whether you need to complement your team with skills in expanding fields such as technology or intellectual property law, or need someone you can rely on to keep the practice running like clockwork, we’ll find them for you. Our service leaves you completely in control. Our fees are 20% of basic salary non-negotiable on a no placement no fee basis.

Our Process

Step 1

A full job brief typically involves a comprehensive one-hour phone or video call.

Step 2

One week later, we provide a detailed list of candidates matching the specific specialism and PQE.

Step 3

Next, you remove any undesirable candidates from the list and highlight those you find appealing.

Step 4

The final step is for us to arrange appointments so you get your chance to pitch to them.
