⚖️ Legal Recruitment Opportunity
📍 Birmingham or London flexibility
We are working with a small, specialist legal recruitment and advisory business that is entering a really exciting stage of growth.
This is not your standard legal recruitment role. The business has a strong reputation across senior legal search, with a particular focus on partner level recruitment, retained mandates, exclusive assignments, succession planning, law firm growth, and strategic advisory work.
They are now looking to add a legal recruiter to the team who wants to move into higher value, more senior search work.
This could suit someone who is: ✅ 1 to 2 years into legal recruitment ✅ Already billing and looking for a stronger platform ✅ Working lower value associate work and wanting to move into partner level search ✅ Strong on candidate generation, headhunting, and relationship building ✅ Not necessarily obsessed with cold BD ✅ Ambitious, commercial, and keen to learn proper senior legal search
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 role will involve:
🔎 Partner headhunting
⚖️ Senior legal recruitment
🧠 Market mapping
🤝 Candidate management
📍 Supporting London focused mandates
📈 Working on retained and exclusive assignments
🚀 Developing into a broader consultant role over time
There is existing work to get involved in, direct access to senior leadership, and a genuine opportunity to be part of the next stage of growth. The business is small, specialist, down to earth, and very consultative in its approach. They are open-minded on background and are not looking to force someone into a rigid 360 model if that is not where their strengths sit.

The package will depend on experience, but the current commission structure includes:
💰 No threshold
💰 Commission from day one
💰 10 percent commission up to £100k
💰 21 percent commission after £100k

This is a great opportunity for a legal recruiter who wants to move away from transactional recruitment and learn how to operate properly in the senior legal search market.
