Job Title: Head of Legal Recruitment – Equity Opportunity Location: UK based (remote or hybrid options available) Salary: £40-60k basic DOE 20% commission equity/shares Type: Permanent Confidential Rec2Rec Assignment Join a business where you own your desk, your deals, and your destiny. I’m working with one of my favourite clients, a high-performing, forward-thinking recruitment group who are about to launch a new brand spun out from a successful recruitment business that’s currently trading and extremely successful. They’re now looking for an experienced Legal Recruitment Consultant to head up their Legal division, someone who wants real ownership, strategic influence, and a genuine equity stake in what they build together. You can focus on either the UK or US Legal markets, and you’ll have complete freedom to shape how it runs. If you’re ready to build something of your own, with backing, support and proper reward, this is the one. What’s on offer: • 20% commission on everything you bill — no caps, no games. • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays. • Private healthcare after 6 months. • Flexible working hours — never miss a haircut or school run again. • Manchester HQ if you fancy the buzz, but remote is absolutely fine. • Equity/shares available for the right person. • A genuinely laid-back, non-micromanaging culture that trusts good recruiters to do what they do best. Who they’re after: Someone with a proven track record in Legal recruitment either in the UK or US markets. You’ll be confident running your own desk, spotting opportunities, and building long-term relationships with clients and candidates. You’ll be equally comfortable driving new business as you are running the full 360 process and because you know that’s how you build something meaningful. If you’re the kind of person who likes to get stuck in, build a brand, and be trusted to run your division like it’s your own business, this is absolutely for you. Why join them? This isn’t just another “we’re growing!” story. It’s a chance to be the driving force behind a brand new division, part of a wider group that already has successful teams across Sales, Engineering/Nuclear, and Tech. You’ll be supported by leaders who’ve been there, done it, and now want to back you to do the same but bigger. Interested?
