Position Summary

The Legal Recruiter will be responsible for managing the full-cycle recruiting process for attorneys, paralegals, legal assistants, case managers, intake specialists, and other law firm positions.

Candidates must have prior recruiting experience specifically within a law firm or legal environment. Experience recruiting for a general corporate environment without law-firm recruiting experience will not meet the requirements for this position.

The ideal candidate understands the unique hiring requirements of a personal injury law firm and knows how to identify candidates with the appropriate legal experience, technical skills, and ability to work in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage full-cycle recruiting from job requisition through offer and onboarding

• Maintain an active pipeline of qualified legal candidates
• Coordinate interviews with hiring managers and leadership
• Conduct reference and background checks as appropriate
• Manage offer negotiations and communicate offers to selected candidates
• Track candidates and recruiting activity within the firm's HR/recruiting systems
• Maintain accurate recruiting records and ensure timely follow-up with candidates
• Build relationships with legal professionals and maintain a strong candidate network
• Assist with improving job descriptions, job postings, interview processes, and recruiting procedures
• Monitor recruiting metrics, including time-to-fill, source effectiveness, applicant volume, and hiring outcomes
• Represent the firm professionally throughout the recruiting process
• Stay informed regarding recruiting trends and the legal employment market

Required Qualifications

• Experience recruiting for legal positions such as attorneys, paralegals, legal assistants, case managers, intake specialists, or similar roles
• Demonstrated experience managing the full recruiting lifecycle
• Strong interviewing and candidate assessment skills

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

What We're Looking For

We are looking for a recruiter who understands that recruiting for a law firm is different from recruiting for a general corporate employer.

The successful candidate will be able to evaluate legal candidates based on their actual hands-on experience, understand the differences between legal roles, and identify candidates who have the skills necessary to succeed in a plaintiff personal injury practice.

You should be comfortable working closely with attorneys, department leaders, and management and be able to independently manage multiple searches from initial sourcing through successful placement.

• Medical, dental, and vision benefits
• Paid time off
• Paid holidays
