Job Description

Independent Legal Recruiter (Revenue-Share | High-Earning Potential)

Location: Remote (North America preferred)

Engagement: Independent Contractor

Compensation: Aggressive revenue-share + performance upside

Focus: Elite Legal Talent (Law Firms, In-House, High-Growth Companies)

The Opportunity

We're partnering with a top-tier independent recruiter who specializes in Legal talent and operates at a professional, self-directed level.

• This is not a volume desk.
• This is not a training program.

• This is for a recruiter who already has scar tissue, standards, and a track record.

If you know how to identify real Legal talent, manage hiring partners, run a clean search, and close this is a revenue-sharing model built for serious earners.

You bring the expertise.

We bring the platform, clients, support, and infrastructure.

Everyone wins when placements are made.

What You'll Recruit For

Associates, Senior Associates, Counsel, and Partners

In-house Legal roles (Commercial, Corporate, Product, Compliance, Employment, Regulatory)

High-bar searches where quality and judgment matter

What You'll Be Responsible For

Owning Legal searches end-to-end from intake to close

Sourcing, qualifying, and presenting top-tier Legal candidates

Managing candidate relationships with discretion and professionalism

Running a clean, accountable recruiting process (no spray-and-pray)

Delivering high-quality submissions that move fast

What Good Looks Like Here

You already:

• Have proven Legal recruiting experience (agency or independent)
• Understand how Legal hiring actually works (law firm vs. in-house dynamics)
• Know how to assess pedigree, practice area depth, and deal with exposure
• Are comfortable running searches independently without hand-holding
• Communicate clearly with candidates and clients, babysitting required
• Use modern recruiting tools (ATS, sourcing tools, LinkedIn, outreach tech, etc.)

Bonus points if you:

Have an existing Legal network

Have placed attorneys in competitive or specialized markets

Prefer quality searches over high-volume chaos

Tools & Infrastructure

You'll have access to:

• A modern ATS and submission workflow
• Client relationships and active search demand
• Structured recruiting process and expectations
• Operational support so you can focus on recruiting admin
• A partner who values execution over excuses

Compensation Structure

• Revenue-share model (transparent, fair, and competitive)
• Paid on successful placements caps
• The better you perform, the more you earn
• Designed for recruiters who want upside, not salary ceilings
• If you're strong, you'll be rewarded accordingly. Simple as that.

Who This Is Not For

1. Let's be honest:
2. Not for junior recruiters
3. Not for resume-flippers
4. Not for learning on the job
5. Not for people who need scripts, micromanagement, or motivation

Who Should Apply

• If you're a seasoned Legal recruiter who:
• Takes pride in your craft
• Runs a disciplined desk
• Wants real earning potential
• And prefers working with professionals who respect your time

Then we should talk.

Apply with a short summary of your Legal recruiting experience and the types of roles you've placed.

No fluff. Just facts.
