Why This Role?

• Build Something Bigger: The firm is in a growth phase, with strong momentum and solid foundations. This new headcount reflects confidence and ambition – to expand their in-house legal coverage significantly.

What We’re Looking For

• Experienced Legal Recruiter: 3 to 8 years of legal recruitment experience. In-house recruitment experience is advantageous.
• Focused Specialist: A genuine interest in specialising solely in in-house legal recruitment (no split roles with private practice).
• Consistent Performer: Ideally with a billing track record of at least SGD 400k per year.
• Market Credibility: You know your patch, your candidates trust you, and clients respect your insight.
• Team Player: You value quality, take pride in your work, and thrive in a high-performing, collaborative environment.
• Time spent in-house, or previously recruiting for in-house roles.
• Familiarity with the Singapore/Asia legal market.
• Degree-qualified.
