Recruitment Consultant - Legal

Hunter Savage | Belfast | Hybrid

Hunter Savage is looking for a Recruitment Consultant to join our Legal team and we are open to two very different types of brilliant person. Maybe you are a qualified solicitor or legal professional with the relationship skills, commercial acumen, and drive to translate your expertise into a high-earning recruitment career. Or maybe you are an experienced recruiter who knows this market inside out. Either way, we would love to meet you.

You will partner with law firms and in-house legal teams across the UK and Ireland, placing talent from newly qualified solicitors through to senior partners and general counsel.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Running end-to-end recruitment for legal clients
  • Building trusted relationships with law firms, in-house teams, and legal professionals
  • Developing your desk with full operational, BD, and marketing support behind you
  • Combining market knowledge with strong client service to become the go-to legal recruiter in your patch

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.
