Job description

A leading international legal search firm is seeking a Senior Recruiter to join its high‑performing New York team, supporting associate‑level hiring across the AmLaw 200 market. This is a revenue‑generating role ideal for an experienced legal recruiter who can manage client relationships, deliver on mandates, and grow a high‑value desk.

You’ll step into a well‑established market with access to existing clients, a deep candidate database, and a collaborative team that consistently exceeds annual billing targets.

Why This Company Stands Out
  • Highly flexible, collaborative culture
  • Teams consistently exceed annual billing goals
  • Massive influx of new clients; partnerships with 500+ law firms across 12 countries
  • One of the largest global databases of Associates/Partners
  • Proven earning potential — one consultant generated $1.2M in 3 months
  • Meritocratic, non‑hierarchical structure with clear progression
  • Transparent, competitive commission model
  • Employee‑ownership culture supporting long‑term growth
Key Responsibilities
  • Manage and grow relationships with US private practice law firms, especially in New York
  • Deliver on associate‑level mandates across multiple practice areas
  • Lead full recruitment lifecycle: intake, sourcing, screening, client management, and placement
  • Act as a trusted advisor to both clients and candidates
  • Identify new business opportunities and contribute to market development
  • Build and maintain a strong network of legal professionals
  • Collaborate with senior team members to support overall team performance
Requirements
  • Proven experience in legal recruitment, ideally within the US market
  • Strong understanding of US private practice law firms
  • Track record of placing associates or partners
  • Ability to manage full recruitment processes and client relationships
  • Strong communication and stakeholder‑management skills
  • Motivated, driven, and committed to long‑term career growth
  • Ability to work on‑site in New York
Compensation & Benefits
  • Base salary up to $90,000 (DOE)
  • Uncapped, highly competitive commission structure
  • Access to premium, retained, and contingent mandates
  • Clear progression path within a growing international firm
  • High‑performance, collaborative culture
  • Opportunity to grow a well‑established desk
