Join our Leadership Team and Drive Success!

We are a boutique recruitment agency specialising in business development, marketing, PR, events, and communications roles within the legal, accountancy, and wider professional services sectors. Renowned for our ability to fill challenging roles, we have a passionate team and a buzzing, ‘open-door’ culture and supportive work environment where work-life balance is truly valued.

As we continue to grow, we are looking for an experienced recruitment professional to join our senior leadership team. If you have a proven track record in a 360 recruitment role, especially within legal, professional services, or marketing recruitment, and you’re ready to take the next step in your career, we want to hear from you!

The Opportunity:

This is a dynamic, senior-level position where you’ll not only manage your own recruitment desk but also take on leadership responsibilities that will help shape the team and drive success across the business. You will:

• Work in a hands-on 360 recruitment capacity, managing the full recruitment cycle from job briefing to candidate placement, while also being a strategic voice within the team.
• Manage a specific and manageable level of candidates and clients – providing them with excellent industry and market knowledge to assist them in their recruitment, career or succession planning and providing nothing short of a ‘no nonsense”, honest and clear approach.
• Help identify new opportunities and bring on new clients using various business development strategies and sales/marketing tools.
• Support, train, and mentor junior consultants, helping with onboarding and ensuring their development and success.
• Be part of the senior team influencing key business decisions, recruitment strategies, and client partnerships.
• Continue to build and nurture relationships with both clients and candidates, delivering exceptional recruitment services that align with our high standards.

The Perfect Candidate:

• Proven experience in a 360 recruitment role, with a strong billing track record and expertise in legal, professional services, or marketing recruitment.
• Demonstrable experience in line management, mentoring, or guiding a team.
• Exceptional market awareness and the ability to build strong networks and client relationships.
• A dynamic, ethical, and proactive approach to recruitment, with a passion for developing others and helping drive the business forward.
• Experience using LinkedIn Recruiter or any other recruitment platforms or tools is desirable.

What We Offer:

• You’ll have the autonomy to manage your desk while helping to shape the future of the team.
• Clear pathways for career advancement within a growing and supportive company.
• A non-political, open-door environment that encourages innovation, development, and success.
• We offer hybrid working, as well as an attractive benefits package including your basic salary, uncapped commission and Vitality Healthcare.
• Our team are regularly treated to well-deserved team days and outings, top biller trips (which have included: Ibiza, Berlin and Paris!) as well as the occasional team dinner and lunch to celebrate our successes.
• Blue Legal is situated in the heart of the City inside Bank’s beautiful WeWork co-working spaces, who also host networking events and free breakfast and lunches every month. Our offices also boast modern changing rooms (with GHDs and free towels), bike lock-up facilities, an on-site barista and even beer taps!

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious recruitment professional looking to step up into either a principle consultant or leadership role while still working hands-on in recruitment. If you’re ready to make a difference and drive the team’s success, we’d love to hear from you!
