Head of Legal Associate Recruitment / Partner
London - up to £150,000 base
We are partnering with an international legal search firm to appoint a Partner who will build and lead its associate recruitment practice in London.
The firm is established in partner recruitment and team moves, with relationships across leading global law firms. It has already developed a successful associate offering in Australia and Tokyo and is now investing in the US market.
You will work alongside multimillion-pound billers in its wider legal search business and collaborate closely with the New York partner recruitment team.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a chance to shape the practice from the outset: define its market focus, develop clients, win and deliver work, and build a team. You will also be able to develop associate hiring relationships with law firms already working with the partner team.
The ideal person will bring a proven record of building legal associate recruitment business, strong business development skills, and experience leading others. Relationships with AmLaw top 50 firms would be particularly valuable. You will enjoy staying close to clients, candidates, and delivery as the practice grows.

Individuals and small teams are welcome to get in touch.
Base salary: £100,000–£150,000, with a structure offering up to 70% of billings. The full economics will be discussed with suitable candidates.
Expectations for the launch will be agreed, with time to build a sustainable business.
Over time, you can remain focused on associates, work across associate and partner hiring, or transition into partner recruitment.
