Independent Recruiter
About The Position
We're partnering with a top-tier independent recruiter who specializes in Legal talent and operates at a professional, self-directed level. This is not a volume desk. This is not a training program. This is for a recruiter who already has scar tissue, standards, and a track record. If you know how to identify real Legal talent, manage hiring partners, run a clean search, and close this is a revenue-sharing model built for serious earners. You bring the expertise. We bring the platform, clients, support, and infrastructure. Everyone wins when placements are made. What You'll Recruit For Associates, Senior Associates, Counsel, and Partners In-house Legal roles (Commercial, Corporate, Product, Compliance, Employment, Regulatory) High-bar searches where quality and judgment matter What Good Looks Like Here You already: Have proven Legal recruiting experience (agency or independent) Understand how Legal hiring actually works (law firm vs. in-house dynamics) Know how to assess pedigree, practice area depth, and deal with exposure Are comfortable running searches independently without hand-holding Communicate clearly with candidates and clients, babysitting required Use modern recruiting tools (ATS, sourcing tools, LinkedIn, outreach tech, etc.) Tools & Infrastructure You'll have access to: A modern ATS and submission workflow Client relationships and active search demand Structured recruiting process and expectations Operational support so you can focus on recruiting admin A partner who values execution over excuses Compensation Structure Revenue-share model (transparent, fair, and competitive) Paid on successful placements caps The better you perform, the more you earn Designed for recruiters who want upside, not salary ceilings If you're strong, you'll be rewarded accordingly. Simple as that. Who This Is Not For Let's be honest: Not for junior recruiters Not for resume-flippers Not for learning on the job Not for people who need scripts, micromanagement, or motivation Who Should Apply If you're a seasoned Legal recruiter who: Takes pride in your craft Runs a disciplined desk Wants real earning potential And prefers working with professionals who respect your time Then we should talk. Apply with a short summary of your Legal recruiting experience and the types of roles you've placed. No fluff. Just facts.
