One of the best resources you can turn to is a specialist recruitment consultancy within the legal sector.

 

Whether you’re new to the legal industry or just starting out, I’m sure you’re very aware that time is precious. Starting your job search can be a bit of a minefield. Do you apply for as many jobs as possible and cross your fingers you get one bite? Do you put all your eggs in one basket? Or do you turn to a recruiter that has the knowledge, skills and experience to find you the perfect role in which you can thrive?

 

However, no matter what stage of your career you are at, having the right people, with the right knowledge guiding you through your job search can make all the difference when it comes to finding the right role.

So how do industry specific recruitment agencies work?

Many recruitment agencies work in a similar way. They will liaise with companies who are looking to fill a specific role, try to find the ideal candidate, and then put them forward to the company.

The difference with dealing with an industry specific recruitment agency is that they are specialists in their area. You can go to them for confidential chats, industry insight and find out what prospective clients are looking for in a candidate.

Once they believe they have found the ideal candidate, they will go back to the client, recommend you and try to arrange an interview. Unlike some agencies, the process does not stop there. Because of the empathy and integrity of an industry specific recruitment agency, they will provide you feedback regardless of the outcome and will stay with you until you find your perfect job.
