Job Title: Recruitment Consultant
Salary: Competitive + Commission
Location: Leeds (Hybrid)

Do you have a minimum of 6 months of recruitment experience and a passion for the Legal sector and business development? If so, we want to hear from you!

Our successful Permanent team based in Leeds is growing its Legal recruitment offering to complement its established Private Practice Legal recruitment team. We are looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant to be an integral part of driving forward this exciting opportunity.

Sellick Partnership has become a market‑leading professional services recruitment partner within the Private Practice sector, with excellent working relationships with Top Tier, High Street, and Boutique firms across the UK.

We are proud to have received several awards and accreditations, including the Investors in People Gold standard and the Great Place to Work® accreditation, which keep us pushing forward and striving for continuous improvement in everything we do. We put people first, and our people are the most important part of our business. We have worked hard to create an environment where our people can succeed, progress in their careers, and enjoy both personal and professional achievement.

We have a thriving sales environment and a supportive culture, made up of highly successful consultants and support staff that are empowered to make commercial decisions and push themselves to succeed. This is reflected in the way we work with our clients and candidates. We\’re not \”pushy\” and we take pride in working as trusted partners to our clients to make a real difference.

The Role

With the support of a team of experienced recruiters and an expert senior manager, and working with both warm and new clients, you will build your business within the Legal market, focusing on the Private Practice sector.

Working exclusively on your own patch, as a Recruitment Consultant, you will carry out a 360‑recruitment cycle, including:

• Building trusted relationships within the Legal market.
• Identifying legal talent both actively and passively, and using LinkedIn Recruiter to headhunt new talent.
• Proactively identifying new business opportunities and increasing market share.
• Identifying cross‑selling opportunities and working in conjunction with colleagues.
• Identifying new events and networking opportunities.
• Developing your own business development strategy, supported by an ambitious team with experience in building reputable names in the market.
• Participating in internal business development meetings to drive forward recruitment processes, share successes, and offer support.

What we’re looking for:

• Love recruitment, especially Legal!
• Be target‑driven and ambitious to progress in your career, always pushing yourself to exceed goals.
• Have previous experience in professional services recruitment; legal experience is ideal but not essential.
• Be bright, driven, and articulate, sharing our passion for exceptionally high standards.
• Have a positive outlook and be solution‑focused.
