Job description

Are you a legal professional looking to take your career in a different direction but maintain connections in the legal market?

After a year of growth and earning 'Investors in People Platinum' for the 2nd time running, we're looking for more exceptional talent to join our fantastic team in Q2. We’d love to hear from legal professionals who are interested in a re-train role in legal recruitment and start earning a hugely rewarding role both financially and professionally.

Based in our stunning office in the vibrant Spinningfields area, we’re offering a dynamic, fun, and supportive work environment – complete with its own on-site gym free to all our team to use!

We offer a brilliant work/life balance with hybrid and flexible working across the week, a 4.5 day week (but paid for 5!), Birthday Day off, Service and Festive holidays as well as gifting out dozy days every month giving you up to 55 day holiday package every year. We have a dog-friendly office and a 24/7 BUPA Employee Assistance programme for all our employees.

AND...we’ve recently launched a DS Dubai office which will include opportunities to take advantage of secondments out in the Middle East.

What You’ll Be Doing?

As a Legal Recruitment Consultant, you’ll essentially be running your own business within our supportive, high-performance team. With previous experience in the legal industry this should allow you to hit the ground running with building relationships and understanding client and candidate motivations.

Your day-to-day will be busy and varied, but always rewarding! You’ll have the opportunity to:

1. Build and maintain long-standing relationships with some of the UK’s biggest law firms, offering consultancy, advising on current market conditions, and providing tailored recruitment solutions.
2. Engage with legal professionals every day, helping them advance their careers and achieve their goals.
3. Attract and find top-tier talent using our extensive database, LinkedIn Recruiter, job ads, and networking strategies.

We offer a truly exciting role where every day brings new challenges and opportunities to make a real impact.
