Partner Recruitment Assistant

Working within a dedicated Partner Recruitment function, you will play a critical role in supporting lateral partner and senior lawyer hiring processes. This is a highly confidential, fast-paced environment where attention to detail, discretion, and professionalism are essential.

The role offers excellent exposure to senior stakeholders, search consultants, and experienced legal professionals, making it ideal for someone looking to develop their career within in-house legal recruitment.

Key Responsibilities

• Draft and prepare correspondence for senior lateral candidates.
• Coordinate interviews, meetings, and assessment processes.
• Liaise with candidates, legal search firms, partners, and internal stakeholders.
• Maintain accurate candidate tracking systems and recruitment databases.
• Manage agency terms and log candidate introductions.
• Organise travel arrangements and process candidate expenses.
• Support process improvements and leverage recruitment technology solutions.

This role will suit someone who:

• Has experience in legal recruitment, either in-house within a law firm or within a legal search/agency environment.
• Demonstrates exceptional organisation and attention to detail.
• Is comfortable handling confidential and commercially sensitive information.
• Communicates confidently with senior stakeholders.
• Thrives in a structured, process-driven recruitment environment.
• Has prior administrative or recruitment coordination experience.
• A degree is desirable but not essential.

This is a rare opportunity to join a high-performing legal recruitment team supporting partner-level hiring. You will gain exposure to strategic lateral recruitment activity, work closely with senior leaders, and build your career within a respected global professional services organisation.

A competitive salary, bonus structure, comprehensive benefits package, and flexible working arrangements are offered.
