Legal Recruitment Consultant

Leeds, Leeds, United Kingdom PB Select Full time £30,000 - £70,000 per year

Legal Recruitment Consultant

Private Practice - Leeds

Hybrid working (Tues-Thurs in office)

£30,000-£35,000 + uncapped commission + quarterly bonuses

A rare chance to step into an established, well-respected legal recruitment desk with real momentum behind it. You won't be building a market from scratch. You
will
be working with long-standing clients, active roles and a highly trusted brand from day one.

Why this role stands out

1. A warm desk with real depth

You'll inherit an active, high-performing desk covering Yorkshire and the North East. Clients already know the brand and take calls. You'll be working live briefs quickly supported by directors who have decades of market credibility.

This isn't a cold-start environment but it
does
require someone who can deepen relationships, spot opportunities and handle nuanced client conversations.

2. Relationship-led, not metric-led

You won't be judged on call numbers or told to fire out CVs. Success here comes from understanding your clients in detail, advising them intelligently and matching people thoughtfully.

Directors are hands-on recruiters themselves. They understand the job and support consultants, not micromanage them.

3. Real hybrid flexibility

Typically Tues-Thurs in office. Outside of that, you'll be trusted to manage your time around candidates, clients and your own commitments.

4. A long-term opportunity, not a stopgap

This starts with taking responsibility for a maternity-cover desk, but there is a clear permanent role beyond that. When the consultant returns, you'll transition into another well-established market, again with warm relationships and ongoing work.

You're always stepping into momentum, never dropped into an empty market.

5. Strong earnings without unrealistic pressure

Low thresholds, uncapped commission and quarterly bonuses mean consultants routinely add £40k-£50k+ on top of base when performing well.

Quality and consistency matter more than speed.

Who this suits


• A 360 recruiter from legal, finance or wider professional services


• Someone who values long-term relationships over quick wins


• Intellectually curious, commercially aware and comfortable speaking with senior professionals


• Someone who wants a stable, mature, supportive environment rather than short-term KPIs


• Based within reach of Leeds

The reality of the role

Legal recruitment is a
candidate-short, relationship-driven market
.

The work is nuanced. Timelines are longer. Trust matters.

If you enjoy meaningful conversations, thoughtful matching and building genuine credibility with clients who value expertise, this is an excellent move.

If you're tired of chaotic environments, transactional expectations or endless chasing, you'll breathe easier here.
