Senior Recruitment Consultant

Hays Recruitment - London - Legal - Temp

£40,000 + depending on experience

Due to a relocation, a rare opportunity has arisen for an experienced Consultant to join our Legal Recruitment business on a large, high potential temporary desk, supported by three counterparts on the permanent side. This opportunity is ideal for a Senior Consultant or above who is looking to take ownership of a substantial remit and build a significant “business within a business.”

The desk operates across a broad portfolio of clients within the In-house Legal market. While the permanent team is well established, recent months have seen a notable increase in demand for temporary and interim legal professionals, leading to dedicated investment in expanding the temp offering. Historically, this desk delivered a £30k DB, but performance has reduced due to the absence of an experienced temp specialist. We are now seeking someone with the capability and confidence to step in, capitalise on existing client demand, and scale the desk further.

Relationships are critical within the legal market and often drive exclusive business. This is an exciting time to take over a desk with significant opportunity, strong client engagement, and extremely high billing potential.

You will be working alongside a market leading Legal specialist who is consistently a top national biller, as well as a wider team of 10 consultants who collaborate closely and maintain a supportive, social culture. We place strong emphasis on development and provide a clear pathway for progression.

The Legal business in London has rebounded strongly following recent economic challenges. This represents an excellent opportunity for a high performing Senior Consultant or above who enjoys building long term client relationships and is ready to take their career to the next level. There are substantial progression opportunities available, so please get in touch if you would like a confidential discussion.
