Recruitment Consultant – Legal, Compliance & Financial Services in Wolverhampton

Recruitment Consultant – Legal, Compliance & Financial Services

My client is a high-performing privately owned recruitment business specialising in Legal, Compliance and Financial Services appointments across both In-House and Private Practice. They’re known for their deep market expertise, genuine warmth, and impressive network of blue-chip clients — from top investment banks and fintechs to leading law firms.

Now moving into stunning new offices near London Bridge, this established team (13 consultants in London, 7 in South Africa) is growing across three verticals:

Compliance, In-House Legal, and Private Practice Legal.

They are offering above average salaries and are looking for the best of the best – if that is you please reach out to Vicky at Hypha Recruit. You can come from another area of recruitment such as Tech – but you will be required to evidence billings and successes to date.

The Role

You’ll join an established high-billing environment where the expectations are clear and the support is real. Whether your background is within Legal, Compliance, FS Risk, or a neighbouring market, this business offers the structure, tools and culture to help you excel.

• Build and expand your own vertical within Legal, Compliance or Financial Services.
• Leverage a strong client base including top-tier financial institutions and leading law firms.
• Collaborate with some of the best recruiters in the market, including a former Taylor Root Partner and a Legal Search specialist team.
• Enjoy autonomy, transparency, and a supportive leadership style.

The Person

• 1–3+ years’ experience in a professional recruitment market.
• Proven billing track record and a performance-minded approach.
• Intelligent, credible and warm — you’ll fit a collaborative, adult culture.
• Legal or FS recruitment experience ideal, but strong recruiters from Audit, Risk, Technology or other specialist areas will also be considered.

The Rewards

• Competitive base salary and generous commission scheme, including quarterly bonuses and profit share potential.
• Over 40% of the company is staff-owned.
• Unlimited holiday for consistent billers.
• “Work from anywhere” policy for two weeks a year.
• Hybrid flexibility — outcome-focused culture, not time-clocked.
• In-house data and marketing support (including pitch decks, research and CRM management).
• Long-term, lifestyle business — privately owned with no plans to sell.

This is a mature, successful and people-first business that rewards results while keeping its culture front and centre.
