Main purpose of the role:

You will deliver a progressive, inclusive, and end-to-end talent acquisition service that meets the needs of the firm.

You’ll lead our direct sourcing strategy to reduce costs and time-to-hire, proactively engaging passive talent and leveraging specialist agencies where needed. You’ll build strong networks and market insight across our core growth areas.

Partnering with Practice Group Leaders, Team Leaders, and hiring managers, you’ll provide expert guidance throughout the hiring process for legal roles. You’ll also help shape our employer brand and ensure an exceptional candidate experience.

Main Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Design and deliver innovative recruitment strategies, mainly for legal roles across all levels.
  • Build trusted relationships with stakeholders, understanding their teams and future talent needs.

  • Champion tech-led recruitment, including AI and automation.
  • Manage agency relationships to ensure value and alignment with direct sourcing.
  • Advise hiring managers on inclusive, effective interview and selection practices.
  • Create and share engaging LinkedIn content to build our employer brand
  • Attend industry events to network, gather market intelligence, and strengthen our talent pipeline.
  • Ensure a smooth, timely, and inclusive candidate experience.
  • Lead and support TA projects, including systems, branding, and process reviews

Key Skills and Experience:

You will:

  • Have in-house recruitment experience, in a legal or professional services environment, and be confident working with senior stakeholders.
  • Be a credible business partner, owning recruitment for your areas.
  • Understand the professional services market and apply advanced attraction strategies.
  • Have a strong track record of direct sourcing for permanent and temporary roles.
  • Be data-driven, using metrics to measure success and improve outcomes.
  • Influence and educate hiring managers on best practices and inclusive hiring.
  • Communicate professionally and responsively at all levels.
  • Be resilient, collaborative, and flexible in a fast-paced environment.
  • Be confident using recruitment tech, ATS platforms, and social media tools.

What We Can Offer You:

The opportunity to work for a firm which has been recognised as one of the best places to work in the UK and has been ranked by Great Place to Work® for 26 consecutive years.

Excellent benefits, including:

  • A hybrid approach to office and remote working.
  • Generous annual leave, with the option to buy up to a week's extra annual leave
  • Free private medical insurance, and the option to add family members
  • A generous pension allowance
  • Life assurance covering four times your annual salary
  • The chance of a three-month sabbatical after five years service
  • Maternity, paternity and adoption leave schemes
  • A range of health and wellbeing programmes
  • State of the art offices, in the heart of Birmingham City Centre, with an onsite restaurant
  • Opportunities to flourish in your role through training and personal development.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
