Recruitment Consultant: Legal

Naiman Clarke
Sydney, NSWFull time

Listed 17 Sep 2026

Job Description

What’s in it for you?

  • Big brand. Warm market. Serious earning potential.
  • Hybrid flexibility + bonus leave + genuine team culture.
  • Perfect “law-adjacent” move for lawyers who want more upside.

About Naiman Clarke

  • Specialist legal recruitment firm with a strong national reputation and deep relationships across private practice and in-house.
  • High-performing, social team with regular events and a culture that backs ambition.
  • Competitive incentives, including bonus leave and an uncapped commission structure.

About the role
Join a team with real market pull and build a pipeline quickly. The platform is already there: brand recognition, active clients, repeat hiring, and a team that shares intel, candidates and wins.

It’s commercial, fast and high-impact. You’ll work with partners, HR and senior in-house stakeholders, advise on hiring strategy, map markets, and run multiple processes end-to-end, with clear results in fees and commission.

We’re open on level (we’ll shape it around you)
Experienced recruiter

  • Step onto a stronger platform with better clients, bigger fees and more momentum
  • Build out your own patch with autonomy, while still having support when you need it
  • Scale your desk faster through warm relationships and a trusted market name

Lawyer (law-adjacent move)

  • Use your legal background every day: credibility with candidates and clients is immediate
  • Get out of the billable hour and into a role where your earnings and progression are directly tied to performance
  • Keep the “law world” you know, but in a career that’s more social, more commercial, and more flexible

New to recruitment

If you’re early in your career or brand new to recruitment, this role can be shaped as a true entry point. You’ll receive hands-on training, close mentorship, and clear structure while you learn how to source candidates, run interviews, speak with clients, and manage roles end-to-end. If you bring energy, strong communication skills, and a willingness to learn, the rest can be taught.

What makes it different

  • You are not starting from scratch. The market knows the name, and clients take calls.
  • You will be backed with training, systems, and a team culture that is social and high-performing.
  • There is real runway here: build a desk, grow into leadership, or become a specialist in your niche, with a clear path to bigger numbers.
  • If you want a role that’s professional, lucrative, and genuinely fun, this is it.

You’ll bring:

  • Confidence in building relationships quickly
  • High energy, resilience and a competitive edge
  • Strong writing and communication (you can sell without being “salesy”)
  • Organisation, follow-through and the ability to run multiple processes
  • Curiosity and a genuine interest in people and the legal market
