Attorney recruiters, sometimes known as legal recruiters, identify qualified lawyers for specific positions at law firms and refer them for employment. In this role, you search databases of attorneys and legal job boards to determine which candidates would be a good match for the current opening at your client's firm. You reach out to qualified candidates and interview them, explaining the job opening and describing what your client is looking for in an attorney. If the candidate is interested, you send their information to your client to move forward in the interview process. Other job duties may include negotiating benefits packages to make job offers more attractive and conducting exit interviews for lawyers leaving your client's firm. Attorney recruiters typically work with successful attorneys who have worked in the field for several years, not entry-level lawyers who are seeking their first jobs; recruiters are usually paid on commission once the client hires the person you found in your search.
