Legal Recruitment Consultant
Manchester
Hybrid working - 3 days in office
Open to recruiters from other sectors
Are you an experienced recruiter who has built your foundations in another market but feels ready for a more professional, higher value desk?
This is an opportunity to move into legal recruitment with an established specialist agency in Manchester. You do not need previous legal recruitment experience. What matters is that you understand recruitment, can manage a 360 desk, build relationships properly and hold credible conversations with professional candidates and clients.
Legal recruitment can offer higher fee values, stronger long term relationships and a more consultative way of working compared with some faster volume markets. It is a great move for recruiters who want to step into a more mature, professional services environment without starting from scratch.
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.
The opportunity
You will join an established legal recruitment business with warm client relationships, live roles and experienced consultants around you. There is existing work to service, but also plenty of scope to build your own reputation within the market. This could suit someone from professional services, finance, commercial, office support, tech, construction, engineering or another 360 recruitment background who wants to move into a specialist market with strong earning potential.
What they are looking for
- 360 recruitment experience
- A track record of billing or building a desk
- Confidence speaking with candidates and clients
- Strong candidate generation skills
- A polished, professional approach
- Someone commercially minded, resilient and proactive
- A recruiter who wants more autonomy and a less rigid KPI heavy environment
