[Hiring] Legal Recruiter @Next Level Exchange

Role Description

This position is fully remote while being fully collaborative. With our unique team model, you will manage a "split desk," focusing your time on sourcing, engaging, recruiting and supporting law firm associate attorneys to match them with client requisitions.

We are seeking a candidate-focused recruiter to join our team in a 180 / split desk model. This is a pure recruiting role—you will not be responsible for business development. Your focus will be on identifying, engaging, and placing top legal talent.

This role is ideal for:

• Experienced recruiters looking to focus on the candidate side of the desk
• Highly motivated, sales-oriented individuals looking to build a career in recruiting

What You’ll Do

• Build and manage a pipeline of high-quality candidates
• Conduct in-depth candidate interviews and assess fit

• Advise and influence candidates on career decisions
• Partner internally with the business development side of the desk

Qualifications

• Option 1: Experienced Recruiters
• 2+ years of recruiting or staffing experience (agency preferred)
• Strong outbound sourcing skills (this is not an inbound role)
• Proven ability to build relationships and close candidates
• Comfortable managing multiple candidates and processes simultaneously
• Option 2: High-Potential, Entry-Level Candidates
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Comfortable with outreach and phone-based conversations
• Competitive, driven, and resilient
• Interest in a career in recruiting or sales

Requirements

• Confidence with cold outreach (LinkedIn, email, phone)
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• High level of organization and follow-through
• Ability to influence and guide candidates
• Motivation to succeed in a performance-driven environment

Benefits

• No business development required – focus 100% on candidates
• Work on high-end, professional roles (attorneys)
• High earning potential with uncapped commission
• Boutique, entrepreneurial environment with real growth opportunity
• Emphasis on quality and long-term relationships—not just volume
• Base salary + uncapped commission
• Significant upside for high performers
• Competitive and attractive benefits
• Frequent continuing education in the form of conferences and retreats
