Proactive searches.
At legal23.co.uk we offer a different approach to legal recruitment. Depending upon your field and level you may or may not find opportunities on legal recruitment websites suitable to your exact requirements. If you do find something, it may not always be ‘quite right for you’.
At legal23.co.uk we offer a new line approach that we call proactive recruitment. You may not see the role of your dreams advertised, but you can rest assured that if it is out there, we will find it, and present it to you as an option.
You’ve heard the old expression that a good lawyer doesn’t know everything off the top of their head but knows where to find the answer, well the same applies to legal recruitment. Just because you haven’t seen it advertised, that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.
Let us go and find it for you – it's what we do best!
With a wealth of online resources we are able to plug into the market and find the opportunities that are suitable for you!

Interview Tips?
Interviews are stressful events and no-one likes them. If we are honest we view them slightly like exams. Some people do well and pretend they are someone they are not, and some people fall to pieces and don’t get jobs that they should by rights get.
Some candidates don’t get jobs that they should have got because of a poor interview, don’t be one of the statistics.
Do you get nervous before interviews? Not sure what exactly to expect? Or has it simply been a few years since you last interviewed anywhere, and you want to run through it with an impartial ear?
We have a range of tips and stress coping mechanisms to help you shine on your big day. The simple advice is to relax and be you, but sometimes that is easier said than done.
Don’t suffer in silence – call us for a chat.
