Attention Legal Recruiters: Do You Enjoy Your Work?
I’m currently in public recruitment and seeking to transition into the private sector. With a law degree and a genuine interest in the field, I’m curious about your experiences in legal recruitment.
How is the market right now, and what are the people like that you interact with?
In public recruitment, we often encounter some unusual candidates due to the lower entry bar. I’m wondering if the higher standards in legal recruitment lead to encounters with fewer time-wasters.
Thank you for sharing your insights!

Absolutely, I enjoy legal recruitment! The field can be incredibly rewarding, especially when you help match the right candidate with a great opportunity. Your background in law and interest in the field will certainly be beneficial as you transition from public to private recruitment.
The legal market can be quite dynamic, depending on economic conditions and regional demand. Generally, the private sector tends to attract highly qualified candidates, which can lead to more productive conversations and, ultimately, better placements. However, every sector has its share of challenges and unique personalities.
While the bar is indeed higher in terms of qualifications and experience, you might still encounter some candidates who are not as committed. However, many of the individuals you engage with are serious about their careers and value the opportunity to connect with firms that can help them advance.
Overall, if you have a passion for connecting with people and enjoy the nuances of the legal profession, you might find legal recruitment to be a fulfilling path. Good luck with your exploration into the private sector!
