Why Realm

At Realm, we believe happy people drive successful businesses. That’s why we’ve built an environment where driven, proactive recruiters can truly thrive.

We’re on a mission to become the #1 Best Small Company to Work For by 2027, and as we grow, there’ll be plenty of opportunities for you to grow, progress, and reach your full potential.

We do things differently here. Our Realm Route gives you a proven path to success, offering everything you need to become a go-to specialist in your niche of the legal market:

• Tailored progression pathways so you always know your next step

• Branding support & marketing assistance to boost your profile

• Cutting-edge tech & admin support to free up your time for what matters—building relationships and closing deals

Our consultants see real results. One recruiter went from billing £130k to £350k+ per year. Another started as a graduate and has had seven promotions. What do they have in common? They take ownership, embrace growth, and put the team first.

What You’ll Do 

• Be the go-to expert – Match the right lawyers with the right law firms, making sure both parties are set up for long-term success.

• Build relationships with law firms – Pitch to and onboard new clients while staying top of mind with existing ones to ensure a steady flow of quality roles.

• Engage with legal professionals – Reach out, have meaningful conversations, and guide lawyers through career moves that genuinely improve their lives.

• Manage the recruitment process – From job qualification to final placement, ensure every step runs smoothly.

• Work strategically – Balance short-term wins with long-term growth, using data and market insights to create lasting success.

• Represent Realm – Uphold our reputation as a trusted legal talent consultancy that delivers real value to lawyers and law firms.

• Plenty of time off – Up to 25 days’ holiday, plus your birthday off, a duvet day, and a full Christmas shutdown.

• Award-winning wellbeing support – Including sick pay, a health cash plan, same-day GP appointments, and access to counselling.

• Flexible working – Hybrid working, flexi-time, and FlexiFriday for better work-life balance.
