Attorney Recruiters - Connecting Attorneys with Legal Teams

Finding work as an attorney isn’t always easy.

We provide lawyers with engagements and we provide businesses with legal talent.

An attorney recruiter who specifically headhunts for legal industry clients can help boost your job search in many ways, especially during an economic downturn.

In most cases, you can expect an attorney recruiter to have access to an extensive network of law firms, corporations, and legal departments they work with regularly. And assuming they’re reputable and have a record of recommending only the highest quality candidates, working with a legal recruiter can also go a long way toward ensuring your CV stands out among the sea of applicants most hiring managers will need to wade through.

Law firms and in-house legal departments often contact a trusted attorney recruiter well before posting open positions elsewhere, so you’ll have access to many job opportunities before the competition gets too stiff. A good attorney recruiter works diligently to screen out unsuitable candidates for each specific position, meaning you’ll waste less time on pointless interviews.

Finally, because a seasoned attorney recruiter will possess a deep understanding of the law firms and in-house departments they work with, they should be able to help you tailor your CV and interview strategy for a specific employer and provide insight into their work environment and culture.

In general, most attorney recruiters will connect you with firms and in-house departments seeking to fill permanent positions, which is great, provided that’s what you’re looking for. However, if you’re more interested in flexibility, improving your work-life balance, or gaining experience across a broader range of industries and practice areas, a traditional attorney recruiter probably won’t be much help.

Fortunately, Axiom is not a traditional attorney recruiter.

Leading law firms and top companies rely on Axiom to fulfill their unique legal staffing needs because few attorney recruiters can match our network of on-demand legal professionals, which gives them access to thousands of experienced and skilled lawyers throughout the world. Because of the relationships we’ve established with our clients, we can offer you both full and part-time engagements, as well as opportunities to work remotely all or part of the time.

Unlike most attorney recruiters and legal recruiting firms, Axiom doesn’t confine you to accepting a permanent position with one company or firm. However, you’ll still be able to enjoy many of the advantages that go along with being a permanent employee, including a competitive annual salary (prorated for time spent on engagements). You’ll also be eligible for a full slate of benefits, including insurance, a retirement plan, paid time off, and our Employee Assistance Program, and have opportunities to participate in meaningful professional development activities.

And while a typical attorney recruiter might find their pool of available positions more limited in an economic downturn, many of our clients actually depend on the Axiom network to augment their staff when they’re attempting to navigate budget cuts, headcount reductions, and hiring freezes.
