At Jimerson Birr, one of America's most recognized and award-winning law firms, we're looking for a Legal Recruiter who doesn't just fill seats, they build talent ecosystems. This isn't a role for someone who needs a script. It's a role for someone who is the strategy.

• A growth mindset and a competitive drive
• The ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment

Requirements

• Lead a recruiting strategy that keeps 7-12 qualified legal candidates in pipeline at all times.
• Own outreach to law schools, trade associations, and professional networks, building referral relationships and keeping top talent warm before a seat even opens.
• Track pipeline metrics and continuously refine your sourcing mix to stay ahead of the firm's growth.
• Conduct quarterly staffing analyses in collaboration with attorney group leaders and department heads.
• Translate staffing intelligence into actionable recruiting roadmaps and present projections to key stakeholders.

• Create and manage job postings across multiple platforms, ensuring consistent visibility and reach.
• Lead with direct outreach over passive applications.
• Screen and advance candidates through a standardized, high-quality assessment process.
• Schedule and support the full interview process, equipping hiring teams with comprehensive candidate packages.

• Ensure every new hire lands well by facilitating onboarding support, making key introductions, and providing ongoing guidance.
• Monitor early progress, gather feedback, and address friction points to ensure every new employee is set up for a strong start.
• Stay ahead of the curve on recruiting tools, platforms, and processes.
• Identify, recommend, and optimize technology that improves sourcing, candidate assessment, and engagement.
