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.
You will also act as the principal point of contact for external recruitment agencies, ensuring that searches are properly briefed, submissions are relevant and processes are managed effectively from initial instruction through to offer and onboarding.
About the Role
The role sits within a developing Legal Recruitment team that has recently expanded to support the continued growth of the London office. The successful person will report directly to the Manager of Legal Recruiting and will work alongside colleagues focused on lateral partner recruitment, graduate recruitment and professional resources.
Requirements
The firm is looking for someone with at least three to four years’ relevant recruitment experience. Candidates may come from an in-house law firm recruitment team or from a legal recruitment agency, provided they have strong experience recruiting qualified lawyers within the London market.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Direct experience of lateral associate recruitment would be particularly valuable.
You should be confident speaking with partners and senior stakeholders, capable of managing a high volume of live vacancies and comfortable taking ownership of multiple recruitment processes at the same time.
Excellent organisation, communication and stakeholder-management skills are essential, together with the judgement to manage expectations, prioritise urgent searches and maintain momentum across a busy workload.
This opportunity would suit an experienced legal recruiter who is ready to move into a more visible, high-ownership role within an ambitious international firm.
Location
The role is based in London and requires attendance in the office at least three days per week.
