Legal Recruiter

Job Description

Job Description

We're a respected legal recruitment firm looking for an experienced attorney recruiter who's ready to work independently, build something on their own schedule, and keep half of what they bring in.

50% Fee Split | 100% Remote | Commission-Based | Independent Contractor

50/50 Split on every placement you close — no caps, no clawbacks on structure, just a straightforward partnership built around your production.

If you've spent years building real relationships with attorneys, partners, and in-house counsel — and you're tired of someone else deciding what that network is worth — this is your seat at the table. You bring the candidates and the client relationships. We bring a respected name in legal search and the freedom to work however you work best.

What You'll Be Doing

• Running full-cycle attorney recruiting — sourcing, vetting, and placing associates, partners, in-house counsel, and legal support talent
• Leveraging your existing network alongside LinkedIn Recruiter, ATS tools, and job boards to build a strong, steady pipeline
• Owning client relationships — understanding hiring needs and delivering candidates who actually fit
• Managing your own calendar, your own outreach style, and your own approach to closing
• Staying sharp on legal market trends, comp benchmarks, and where the best talent is moving
• Proven full-cycle experience as a legal recruiter, with a track record specifically in attorney placements
• Real working knowledge of law firm structures, practice areas, and how legal hiring actually moves
• The self-discipline to thrive independently — no one's watching the clock but you
• Strong client instincts and the communication skills to match

What We're Looking For

Nice to have:

• An active LinkedIn Recruiter license — reimbursed after your first placement
• A bachelor's degree in law, business, HR, or a related field

Why This Role

Earnings: Uncapped earning potential — your production sets your income, full stop

Flexibility: Total flexibility to work from wherever, on a schedule that's actually yours

Reputation: Step into an established name with a real reputation among top law firms and corporate legal departments

Growth: Career-building searches — high-level placements that grow your reputation along with your bank account

Tools: LinkedIn Recruiter license reimbursement, covered after your first successful placement
