At Realm Recruit, we work with personal injury firms across Manchester and the North West, ranging from independent practices to national heavyweights.
We recruit for personal injury jobs at all levels, from paralegal to fee earner, and litigation executive to solicitor, helping develop careers and supplying personal injury firms with the people they need for their business.
Whether you’re an RTA paralegal looking to make a move in Sheffield or an EL/PL solicitor looking for a job in Manchester our specialist legal recruiters are ready to help you.
“I spoke with a number of agents during my job search, but Joseph was by far the best. He worked hard to find something that suited my requirements and didn’t try to push me to take the first role on offer. He checked back in with me regularly on new opportunities and he followed up with me until the day I started my new job. Highly recommended.”
Samantha Whitehead, EL PL Solicitor
“I approached Realm after a recommendation and I was so impressed with the process from start to finish. Joe contacted me quickly and even though I was trying to find an NQ job during a time when I had been told by other recruiters that the market was flat, Joe lined up two interviews at good firms in a short space of time- one of which I went on to accept a job offer from. He was thorough in the information he provided and always kept in touch. I am extremely impressed and will definitely be recommending Realm and Joe to other trainees in the legal world. Thanks again for your help!”
Naomi O’Rourke, Catastrophic Injury Solicitor
“We have used Realm Recruit for a number of years now. The main person there who deals with personal injury and clinical negligence recruitment is Joseph Shenton. Joe is always proactive without being too pushy and has found us some great candidates. He is very good at keeping us informed as to what is going on and puts candidates forward who can not only do the job but who will also be a good fit for the firm and its values.”

“At Realm, I specialise in the recruitment of personal injury and clinical negligence lawyers, ranging from paralegals and fee-earners to solicitors and partners. I work with both claimant and defendant teams primarily across the North West, focusing on the Manchester and Liverpool legal markets.”
Our narrow but deep focus allows us to get to know the personal injury lawyers and law firms we work with properly. Here’s why our specialist approach will benefit you in your job search...
We'll explain not only who is actively recruiting within personal injury, but also who’s looking to grow and the salaries and benefits on offer.
Because we’re ultra-niche, we have access to exciting opportunities that might not be advertised.
Our understanding of the personal injury market means that we are well-placed to offer you fair and honest advice.
Anyone who has made a ‘wrong’ appointment will know the true value of getting it right! Getting the right fit, is so much more than what is found on a CV. We are interested in what motivates our staff and how they instinctively approach client care. Values are everything to us and Joe recognises this.
Emily Raw
Managing Partner at Jobling Gowler Solicitors
Joseph was a pleasure to deal with from first hearing about the role, preparing for interview to ultimately securing a great role within a reputable firm. I was kept in the loop at all stages of the process, and I felt reassured that I could contact Joseph at any point either for answers to my queries, or just for some friendly advice. I can’t thank him enough!
Lydia Parrington
Catastrophic Injury Paralegal
Joseph is extremely thorough in the work that he does and great at communicating. He kept me informed throughout the process and lined up two interviews in a matter of days when I had been told by other recruiters that there were no jobs going. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Joseph to those looking for a job in the legal world.
