Crime Solicitor Recruitment Consultants identify suitable posts for you whether through sources, advertising, targeting, regular updates to firms of current candidates searching the jobs market. We also offer a Duty Solicitor Rota Slot Shop, which aims to match up duty solicitors with firms looking to buy rota slots or offer salaried/freelance roles.

A little known fact is that the vast majority of vacancies for solicitors are not advertised. The cost of advertising is prohibitive and it is often cheaper for firms to use the services of recruitment consultants. This is especially the case in crime, where the limited number of duty solicitors restricts the numbers of candidates looking at any one time. We assist firms by introducing good quality candidates to them and charging lower fees. We operate almost exclusively online.

We are specialist and independent consultants who offer legal recruitment services in complete confidence, with your anonymity assured until you attend for the interview stage.

You can receive full information about firms’ vacancies, consider all aspects of the opportunity, and if you decide to go ahead do so with a full application or in complete anonymity, so if you decide not to proceed or are not successful no-one is aware of your identity.

We have been operating this service as part of Ten-Percent Legal Recruitment for over 15 years, and both firms and candidates have provided us with positive feedback.

Our Managing Director is a former crime solicitor, and we offer personal attention and advice in your search, often with first hand knowledge of specific firms, and ensure that any approach is tailored to your specific strengths and attributes.

A common complaint from firms is that a CV does not contain sufficient information for them to make an informed decision as to whether a vacancy is suitable for the candidate being presented to them, and we avoid this by preparing specific information on candidates outlining all factors prior to interview.

We offer assistance with interviews, career paths, salary reviews, post-interview negotiations, ongoing support when starting a new post and impartial advice throughout the process.

We make one important pledge to all candidates. This service will not waste your time. We will always ensure that you have all the facts to hand for a specific vacancy and firm. We do not believe that there is any benefit in offering you an interview with a firm if the vacancy is clearly unsuitable. A small number of criminal law firms are run by solicitors who are only slightly above the level of the clients they represent - we try to avoid working with these!

If we do not provide good service, you will not recommend us to others, the firm will not use us again, and nobody gains.
