Attorney Recruiter

Job Number: 32758

Salary: DOE + COMMISSION

Industry: Legal

Must Haves:

JD Degree or previous attorney recruiting experience strongly preferred

Your New Role:

Our thriving internal attorney recruiting team is growing, and we’re looking for an Attorney Recruiter to work with attorneys, law firms, and in-house legal teams throughout the Pacific Northwest. You’ll help attorneys navigate career moves, help clients fill critical roles, and guide both sides from first conversation to accepted offer.

We prefer some previous recruiting or hiring experience, but it’s not required. We can teach recruiting. What tends to matter more is business judgment, strong people instincts, and a bit of grit. Recruiting is rewarding, but it can also be unpredictable. Searches change, candidates withdraw, and great opportunities don’t always work out. The people who thrive here don’t get discouraged easily.

You’ll spend your days talking with attorneys, law firm partners, general counsel, and executive leaders. Successful recruiters on this team are comfortable having substantive conversations with accomplished professionals and earning trust through thoughtful advice, good judgment, and follow-through.

Former attorneys and people with attorney recruiting experience often do especially well on our team. Many are drawn to the opportunity to stay connected to the legal community while moving into a role that combines relationship-building, business development, and significant earning potential. They enjoy making connections, spotting opportunities, and helping deals come together. They’re comfortable picking up the phone, hearing “no,” and trying again.

This role has traditionally been very financially lucrative, with the potential to earn more than many of the candidates you place. We work 4 days a week in our art- and light-filled downtown office and remotely on Fridays.

Your New Organization:

We are the leading independent recruiting agency in the Pacific Northwest, with 40+ years of connections and experience. We’re 4x winners of the Portland Business Journal’s Most Admired Companies Award, involved in the community, and proud to be woman-owned and B Corp certified. We’re also an experienced recruiting team, with an average tenure of almost 11 years. Unlike many agencies, we don’t manage recruiters by call quotas or activity metrics. You’ll have the team’s full resources behind you as you build and grow your desk.

Comprehensive benefits include generous paid time off, dental, medical, and vision coverage, life insurance, an employee assistance program, a 401(k) plus 3% employer contribution, 12 days of volunteer time off, and a transportation stipend for paid parking or a TriMet pass. You can also bring your dog or infant to work, take a break on the deck, or sweat it out in the on-site gym.
