About The Position

We are partnering with an established staffing organization seeking an experienced Agency Recruiter to join its legal staffing practice in Dallas. Previous legal recruiting experience is not required. The most important qualification is experience recruiting within a staffing agency environment, particularly for temporary, contract, or temp-to-hire positions. The successful recruiter will receive training on the legal staffing vertical, making this an excellent opportunity for someone who has recruited in areas such as accounting & finance, administrative/office support, professional services, technology, or another staffing specialty and would like to expand into legal recruiting. This is a recruiting-focused position—not a sales role. The organization has separate recruiting and sales functions within its temporary staffing practice, allowing the recruiter to concentrate on identifying, engaging, evaluating, and placing candidates.
