360 Legal Recruitment Consultant (Warm Desk)

Harkaye Core Talent

Fully Remote (UK-based)

Harkaye Core Talent is building a specialist legal recruitment brand grounded in Precision. Strategy. Results. We are in an exciting growth phase and are looking for an experienced 360 Legal Recruitment Consultant to join us and play a key role in shaping the future of the business.

This is a fully remote role, with a collaborative team that connects weekly. If remote working does not suit your lifestyle or productivity, this position will not be the right fit.

You will inherit a warm desk with active roles, established client relationships, and immediate billing potential. This is a genuine opportunity to take ownership of a desk and build on an already solid foundation.

As a growing business, our benefits offering continues to evolve. Some of the above are already in place, with others being introduced as we scale—giving you the opportunity to grow with us and benefit from that journey.

Growth & Long-Term Opportunity

For individuals who demonstrate:

• Consistent billing performance
• Loyalty and long-term commitment
• Drive, resilience, and ownership

There will be opportunities to progress beyond a traditional consultant role, including:

• Profit share discussions
• Leadership opportunities
• Building and managing your own team or division

Entrepreneurial Option

We also welcome conversations with experienced legal recruiters who are currently operating independently or have built their own desk/brand.

For the right entrepreneurial individual, we are open to exploring a partnership-style relationship, offering the support, infrastructure, and platform of Harkaye Core Talent while allowing you to scale your success further.

Important – Please Read Before Applying

• Please do not apply if you cannot work in a fully remote environment
• Please do not apply if you do not have proven 360 legal recruitment billing experience
