Legal Graduate - Recruitment Resourcer
Manchester City Centre
Full-time | Permanent | Hybrid Working (Monday & Friday WFH, 3 office days)
Not sure a traditional legal career is for you?
Perhaps you've completed your law degree and started your legal career as a paralegal, legal assistant or trainee, but you're beginning to realise that life in practice isn't quite what you expected.
If you still enjoy the legal world, love building relationships, and want a career with genuine progression, commercial exposure and earning potential, legal recruitment could be the perfect alternative.
We're looking for ambitious law graduates and early-career legal professionals to join our Manchester team as a Recruitment Resourcer, providing a structured entry into specialist legal recruitment.
This is a fantastic opportunity to use your legal knowledge in a different way while building a long-term career with one of the UK's most established legal recruitment businesses.

Legal recruitment allows you to:
- Stay connected to the legal profession and legal careers
- Build relationships with lawyers and law firms across the UK and internationally

- Develop commercial and business skills often not gained early in legal practice

- Speaking with lawyers about their career goals
- Building relationships with candidates and keeping in regular contact
- Managing candidate information and recruitment processes
- Supporting consultants with live assignments and candidate delivery
- Developing a strong understanding of the legal recruitment market
What We're Looking For:
- A Law degree (minimum 2:1 preferred)

- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
- Strong organisational and research abilities
- A positive, resilient and ambitious mindset
- An interest in commercial careers and the legal sector
- The confidence to speak with professionals at all levels
