US Private Practice | 100% Remote | Up to £60,000 Basic DOE

Are you a driven, ambitious legal recruiter ready to take on an exciting new market? Do you have the hunger to build something significant — winning your own clients, placing top legal talent, and reaping the rewards of a genuinely generous commission structure? If so, this is a rare and compelling opportunity to join a thriving specialist agency at a pivotal point in its growth.

We are an established and highly regarded specialist legal recruitment agency, now expanding our reach into the US market. With a strong track record placing legal professionals across private practice law firms in the UK, we are looking for an experienced 360 Recruitment Consultant to spearhead our growth across US-based law firms. This is a fully remote role with real autonomy, exceptional earning potential, and the backing of a reputable agency behind you.

The Role

This is a true 360 billing role. You will be responsible for both winning new business with US private practice law firms and managing the full candidate sourcing and placement process. You will own your desk from day one — building client relationships, taking detailed briefs, headhunting exceptional legal professionals at all levels of seniority, and closing deals. This is a role for a self-starter who thrives on both the commercial and candidate sides of recruitment.

•       Managing candidates expertly through the full recruitment lifecycle, ensuring a first-class experience from first contact to placement.

•       Building and maintaining a strong pipeline of both clients and candidates to ensure consistent billings.

•       Staying abreast of developments in the US legal market to position yourself as a credible and knowledgeable sector specialist.

•       Has experience sourcing and placing candidates at varying levels of seniority, with strong headhunting and direct sourcing skills.

•       Has knowledge of or a genuine interest in the US legal market — existing relationships with US law firms would be a significant advantage.

•       Is highly self-motivated and able to work independently in a fully remote environment, managing their own time and priorities effectively.

•       Has a history of billings that demonstrates consistent performance — your track record will inform the salary offered within our range.

 

What We Offer

•       Basic salary of up to £60,000, depending on experience and billing history.

•       A highly competitive and transparent commission scheme — your earnings will reflect the results you deliver.

•       100% remote working with complete flexibility over how and where you work.
