Employment Partner | London
An opportunity to lead the next stage of an established employment practice.
HarKaye Core Talent is instructed on a confidential search for an Employment Partner in London. Our client is looking for someone to take a leading role in the practice, working with its existing lawyers while building a stronger presence in London.
This is a role for someone who wants a say in where the practice goes next. You would advise on complex employment matters, develop relationships with employer clients, win new work, and help shape the team around you. There is already employment expertise within the firm; the opportunity is to lead its growth.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
