* Industry-leading incentives including national recognition events and European trips for top performers
* Dedicated marketing, finance and legal operational support to help accelerate growth
* FlexHoliday - buy and sell up to 5 days annual leave through our salary sacrifice scheme
* Tusker EV Car Benefit Scheme for a more sustainable way to commute

The Role
As a Recruitment Consultant within our Legal division, you'll have the opportunity to:
* Manage and grow a permanent legal recruitment desk across the Yorkshire and wider Northern markets
* Build on existing client relationships while identifying and securing new business opportunities
* Recruit legal professionals across a range of practice areas and seniority levels
* Develop long-term partnerships with law firms, in-house legal teams and key decision-makers
* Deliver exceptional recruitment solutions to both clients and candidates
* Maximise the potential of a warm desk while driving further market growth
* Work closely with senior leadership to help shape and strengthen our Legal proposition in the region

What We're Looking For
We're open to speaking with:
* Experienced recruiters with a proven track record of success in a 360 recruitment environment
* Legal recruiters looking for a platform to further grow their market and earnings
* Recruiters from professional services or specialist sectors who are interested in building a career within Legal recruitment
* Individuals with strong business development, client engagement and relationship management skills
* Commercially-minded professionals who thrive in a fast-paced, ambitious environment
* People who are motivated by autonomy, career progression and the opportunity to build something significant

Most importantly, we're looking for someone with the ambition, energy and drive to maximise the potential of an established desk while helping to grow our Legal business in Leeds.
