At BCL Legal, we’re growing and looking for experienced recruiters to join our Manchester team, with opportunities across our USA and London desks.

We’re keen to speak with recruiters with 1+ years’ agency recruitment experience, whether that’s within legal, professional services, finance, property or another specialist market. You don’t need to come from legal recruitment. What matters most is commercial instinct, strong relationship-building skills and the ambition to develop a successful desk and career.

Opportunities Available:

USA In-House

• Help grow our developing USA In-House offering, placing lawyers into in-house legal teams across the United States. With significant scope for business development and desk ownership, this is ideal for someone who enjoys creating opportunities, building a market and having real ownership over their success.

London Private Practice

• Work with leading law firms across London, supporting them with their hiring needs while helping lawyers make important career moves. This is a relationship-led, consultative desk with an established reputation and plenty of scope to develop long-term client and candidate relationships.
