Our recruitment process

How we approach a legal search

01

Understand the requirement

The role, the day-to-day work, the team it sits in, and what has and hasn't worked in past hires for it.

02

Define the search

We agree the candidate profile, the non-negotiables and the realistic market before any outreach.

03

Identify and approach

Existing relationships plus direct, discreet approaches to people who fit but aren't applying.

04

Screen and shortlist

Candidates are assessed against the brief - technical fit, communication, expectations - before you see them.

05

Coordinate the process

Scheduling, two-way feedback, and early warning on anything that could derail an offer.

06

Offer and closure

Support through compensation discussions, notice periods and counter-offers to a confirmed start.

We needed to fill the position of an office manager quickly, and Arti delivered. She came back with a strong shortlist in a remarkably short time and helped us move from requirement to interview without unnecessary delays. Very impressed with the turnaround.
