Headhunters are legal recruitment consultants who either source well-regarded solicitors via their network or simply cold call as many as possible via a LinkedIn Premium account (depending on your level of cynicism) to try to persuade them to change firms with offers of high salary or better terms. Most recruitment consultants offer a headhunting service and call it “search and selection”.
We do offer headhunting services. Our company has been around for 25 years and we have a network of connections, registered candidates, and extensive contacts in the legal profession. However we choose which clients we provide the service to and also for which roles. There is no point headhunting unless we have something to sell to candidates, so we will only agree to take an assignment if we can see the clear benefit to a potential candidate in joining your business. We charge an upfront fee in addition to our standard introduction fees for this service. If you would like to discuss using us to headhunt candidates, please contact us.
