United Kingdom Group8 Global Full time

Senior Executive Search Consultant, Cross-Border team

  • Outstanding opportunity for a Senior Executive Search Consultant (Legal) looking to play a pivotal role, for us and our clients
  • Be part of a creative, collaborative and entrepreneurial business and team
  • Facilitate career-making moves, and transformational acquisitions, representing the best of the best
  • Flexible working model and practices - fully remote or hybrid (London), work your day your way

Group8 is a boutique legal growth consultancy. We are trusted by the elite and most ambitious international law firms to source experienced hires, established and next-generation leaders. With origins in Australia, we have always adopted a boundary-less approach to our operations, enabling us to facilitate career-enhancing moves for lawyers all around the world.

We are a small team of passionate self-starters who thrive on building dynamic, diverse, and ground-breaking teams. We love delivering a great experience for all involved, and once we have made a commitment, we follow through. In the last five years, we have supported individuals and clients across the US, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and the Middle East.

With a strong foundation for growth and proof of concept across all our key areas of focus, combined with a shared passion for helping the very best talent realise their potential, we now want to help more people do just that. We are, therefore, looking to grow our team. This opportunity is to play a lead role in the further development of our cross-border capability.

Your Role:

As a senior consultant, with a 360-degree role, you will adopt a boundary-less global approach with a specific focus on supporting antipodean lawyers to return home, or taking them wherever in the world they want to go next, for the right career-making opportunity. Specifically you will:

  • Identify and engage with the very best legal talent from around the world to support their, and our clients', ambitions for growth.
  • Use your experience, market knowledge and empathetic approach to consult, coach and support individuals to plan their ideal career trajectory and timing.
  • Manage the various stages of the search process (whether retained or contingent recruitment) to ensure the highest-quality execution and efficient delivery.
  • Market map and research, to identify new clients or prospects, with the support of our growing Data Insights & Research team.
  • Introduce candidates to prospective clients worldwide and effectively manage the end-to-end recruitment process.
  • Demonstrate excellence in client and candidate care. Cross-border processes are typically broader decisions than domestic hires, often involving family members, pets and all the relocation logistics of not just a career but a life change. We believe that our role continues from when they cross the border, the threshold of their new firm and beyond

Specific Requirements

  • Ideally you will have a minimum of 3 years of international legal recruitment experience. We have no upper limit for this opportunity which can be shaped around the successful individual.
  • A passion for delivering excellence to those you represent - we support the highest echelon of legal talent and they have high expectations which we aim to exceed.
  • High attention to detail and a determined drive to succeed.
  • A curious, entrepreneurial and confident mindset.
  • A passionate advocate.
  • A genuine keen interest in the global legal landscape.
  • Comfortable, and challenged by, the unknown.
  • An interest in people and an engaging communication style.
  • Some legal education and background we have all personally found to be valuable, but it's not essential - we know that the legal sector these days can be challenging to enter.

Group8 Global: Group8 is a strategic global growth consultancy – we specialise in creating choices, unlocking, and maximising potential for talented professionals and ambitious organisations. Our clients retain us exclusively to support them advancing their growth ambitions. We don’t work on “the average” brief but those which are a bit unique - where the acquisition requires a high performer with a unique combination of skills. All our successfully completed mandates have had a transformative impact – on the team, function, our client and on the individual’s career.

Note to Applicants: Thank you very much for taking the time to consider and apply to this role - we very much appreciate your interest. We are conducting a thorough market search to source and secure the successful individual for this role. We may need some time to get back to you but will be in touch in due course.
