We Believe...

That the greatest thing that a good recruiter can do for a candidate is to give them proper advice about the specific market segment that they are interested in.

It often surprises me, how narrow a view of the market even senior candidates can have. Private Practice lawyers tend to know about their firm, or really their team / department and that of a few friends at similar firms. In House Lawyers will know what their old firm was like, when they were there and what goes on in their current company. With 15 years experience working with clients in Australia we can offer a wealth of market knowledge to make sure that your next move is the right move.

What is important to know is that there is not one Law firm existence or one in house experience. That what your friend may love or hate about a particular role, you may find the opposite. As we have worked with the majority of clients in the Sydney market and many overseas we are in a position to give you detailed and objective information to help you understand your career choices and make the right move for you.

The legal marketplace in Australia has changed hugely in the last decade, as has the recruitment market that serves it. Gone are the days when the big recruitment brands were best able to service clients and candidates. Their staff have a high turnover, are often in their first recruitment role and have little market knowledge.

Many of the large boutiques have lost a great deal of their long standing staff meaning that your recruitment solutions that used to work, no longer do.

HR driven PSA’s become largely meaningless, as they are rarely negotiated with the legal function front of mind, so you are often stuck with IT or Sales centric generalist agency advertising for your legal positions, they are unable to do anything except place an advert up and hope someone applies.

Direct sourcing for in house roles, is very difficult as internal recruiters almost never have an understanding of the legal department or networks of candidates to approach. They are also too busy recruiting the core business positions in Sales, Marketing, IT etc to deliver any tangible results. The cost they claim to save the business by not using an agency is often lost due to the time lost and the poor quality of candidates they produce.

What you need is an agency that understands the legal marketplace, understands you and your teams needs, and can help to direct and manage a proper talent search. Our USP is that through our search methodology we have a better overview of the talent market than anyone else.

Unlike most recruitment agencies who will have a handful of loosely applicable actively searching candidates they will know to call and whatever candidate response comes in off their online advert. We have a completely different approach, we combine 8 different data sources to come up with a total list of all the candidates in a jurisdiction, then use iterative data analysis to filter by employer, specialty PQE, industry and whatever other search criteria you give us to create a bespoke candidate pool, which we then meticulously go through to find the very best active and passive candidates in the market for you.

We have experience of recruiting at the highest level – Partner and APAC General Counsel, running recruitment campaigns for multiple positions, international placements, recruiting for standalone or “greenfields” roles, team member roles, contract / project roles. We understand the different processes involved in each and the importance in delivering on them all.

Our client base that has typically included the worlds leading law firms and ASX 200 companies as well as leading international businesses.

We offer both Retained search and Contingent recruitment, so call us today to discuss your needs.
