Legal Recruiter (Remote) | Commission-Based | High Earnings ($10K–$14K per Placement)

TalentRoom is looking to collaborate with experienced Legal Recruiters, Legal Headhunters, Attorney Recruiters, and Legal Search professionals who have experience sourcing and placing legal professionals.

This is an opportunity to work on active legal searches with established law firms and legal organizations, with the flexibility to leverage your own network, sourcing methods, and recruiting expertise.

We are looking for recruiters who understand the legal market and know how to identify, approach, qualify, and engage strong legal candidates — including passive candidates who are not actively applying to jobs.

What You Will Do

  • Source and headhunt qualified legal professionals for active searches
  • Identify candidates through your existing legal network and sourcing tools
  • Conduct direct outreach to passive candidates
  • Screen candidates based on experience, qualifications, location, compensation, and other search requirements
  • Present qualified candidates to hiring organizations
  • Manage candidates throughout the recruitment process and coordinate introductions
  • Build a strong pipeline of legal talent for current and future searches
  • Work independently while collaborating with TalentRoom throughout the placement process

  • Lateral attorney recruiting

  • Contingency recruiting / direct-hire recruiting
  • Passive candidate sourcing
  • Recruiting professionals from law firms or other legal organizations

You do not need to have experience with one specific legal practice area. We are looking to build relationships with recruiters who have broader legal recruiting experience and can work on different types of legal searches as they become available.

Required Experience

  • Previous experience recruiting or placing attorneys or other legal professionals
  • Experience with direct sourcing and headhunting
  • Ability to identify and engage passive legal candidates
  • Established legal candidate network or proven ability to independently build candidate pipelines
