Job Title: Recruitment Consultant
Salary: Competitive + Commission
Location: Leeds (Hybrid)
Do you have a minimum of 6 months of recruitment experience, and a passion for the Legal sector and business development? If so, we want to hear from you!
Our successful Permanent team based in Leeds is growing its Legal recruitment offering to complement its established Private Practice Legal recruitment team. We are looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant to be an integral part of driving forward this exciting opportunity.
Sellick Partnership has grown to become a market-leading professional services recruitment partner within the Private Practice sector, with excellent working relationships with Top Tier, High Street, and Boutique firms across the UK.
We are proud to have several awards and accreditations that demonstrate our commitment to our employees, including the Investors in People Gold standard and the Great Place to Work® accreditation, which keep us pushing forward and striving for continuous improvement in everything we do! We put people first, and our people are the most important part of our business. We have worked hard to create an environment for our people to succeed, progress in their careers, and feel achievement and pride, both personally and professionally.
We have a thriving sales environment and supportive culture, which is made up of highly successful consultants and support staff that we empower to make commercial decisions and push themselves to succeed. This is all reflected in the way we work with our clients and candidates. We’re not 'pushy' and we take pride in working as trusted partners to our clients, to make a real difference.
The Role
With the support of a team of experienced recruiters and an expert senior manager, working with both 'warm' and new clients, you will build your business within the Legal market, focusing on the Private Practice sector.
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.
