Your Legal Career, Your Way – Explore the Possibilities
The legal recruitment market has changed over the last decade. Now many lawyers have to choose whether to apply direct, to use recruiters, or a combination of both. To make the best decision it is essential to have:
-
an overview of all the roles that firms are advertising directly.
-
Insight into recruiters that are best placed to help with the firms that are not hiring directly.
There’s a wealth of career information out there - but it’s scattered across hundreds of sites, making it hard to find what you need. The Rackle brings it all together in one place, making it easy to explore your options by practice area and industry sector. Save time, cut through the noise, and explore all your options.
In May there were 330 London based law firm roles advertised by firms on their careers pages. For in-house roles there were 267 roles advertised directly by organisations on LinkedIn.
There are over 150 law firms that advertise roles on their career pages and in the first quarter of 2025 over 620 different firms advertised for inhouse lawyers on LinkedIn Searching through law firm websites or LinkedIn Search results is very time consuming. Time that many lawyers do not have.
Our regularly updated job search aggregates the roles being advertised and allows you to filter by level, types of firm, practice areas and industry sectors making it easy to hone in on what is of most interest to you.
No need to worry about irrelevant or miscategorised roles and as these are live roles, you can be certain that there are no phishing roles or duplicated roles. In addition to save you time, we also provide a 100 word summary of the role to make it easier to decide which job descriptions to read in full.
There are over 200 different recruitment firms employing over 1000 individual legal recruiters that are offering recruitment services to lawyers in the London Market. Different firms provide different offerings for lawyers.
How do you decide which firm is best positioned to help you. Is it better to go with a boutique, a big firm or something in between. Should you seek someone that has specialist expertise in your practice area? How do you know if the recruiter works with firms that you are interested in?
Our recruiter search function enables you to filter all the different recruiters to arrive at a list of firms that fit with what you are looking for. You can also access our guide to choosing and working with recruiters which will provide you with answers to the above questions and provide you with a framework to help you to pull together a short list of recruiters to approach.
