Senior Recruitment Consultant -Hays Recruitment - London - Legal - Temp

Due to a relocation, a rare opportunity has arisen for an experienced Consultant to join our Legal Recruitment business on a large, high potential temporary desk, supported by three counterparts on the permanent side. This opportunity is ideal for a Senior Consultant or above who is looking to take ownership of a substantial remit and build a significant “business within a business.”

The desk operates across a broad portfolio of clients within the In House Legal market. While the permanent team is well established, recent months have seen a notable increase in demand for temporary and interim legal professionals, leading to dedicated investment in expanding the temp offering. We are now seeking someone with the capability and confidence to step in, capitalise on existing client demand, and scale the desk further.

Relationships are critical within the legal market and often drive exclusive business. This is an exciting time to take over a desk with significant opportunity, strong client engagement, and extremely high billing potential.

You will be working alongside a market leading Legal specialist who is consistently a top national biller, as well as a wider team of 10 consultants who collaborate closely and maintain a supportive, social culture. We place strong emphasis on development and provide a clear pathway for progression.

The Legal business in London has rebounded strongly following recent economic challenges. This represents an excellent opportunity for a high performing Senior Consultant or above who enjoys building long term client relationships and is ready to take their career to the next level. There are substantial progression opportunities available, so please get in touch if you would like a confidential discussion.

You’ll also enjoy:
• Uncapped individual commission paid upon invoice every 4 weeks
• Regular performance based incentive programmes, including international trips
• A culture built on trust, expertise, collaboration, inclusivity and doing the right thing
• Industry-leading learning and development programmes to elevate your performance
• A global brand with established PSLs, RPO/MSP partnerships and warm client relationships
• Hybrid working models and flexible working hours
• Global mobility opportunities should you wish to take your career abroad
• Access to employee support networks, wellbeing initiatives, volunteering opportunities and a wide range of additional benefit
