We help grow law firms sustainably through a refreshingly human and honest approach to recruitment, attraction and retention. We will help you find the talent you need to drive your firm forward while - importantly - keeping your retention rate high, to stop you from getting locked into an expensive hiring cycle.
When you choose Realm as your recruitment partner, our talent pools become your talent pools. Our specialists speak to over 275 lawyers every day, so your hiring partners, HR and resourcing teams can get on with their day job.
As well as assigning a specialist practice area recruiter to your role, you’ll also gain access to one of the largest and most skilled marketing teams in the legal recruitment space. Our best-in-class marketing strategy ensures that your vacancies are easily found by active candidates searching for opportunities in your region, and those who aren’t actively looking to move but could be persuaded for the right opportunity.

Because hundreds of law firms can't be wrong.
Unlike any other recruiter, each of our consultants specialises in a particular practice area, which means they have outstanding market knowledge and an unrivalled talent pool.
Upfront terms, no sliding scales - we simply offer a fixed percentage or cost based on the service you choose and are focussed on developing long-term relationships with law firms.
Yes, we help our clients find the best talent around - but we also help improve their employer brand, retention and engagement, driving profitability.
If recruitment feels hard these days, it’s because it is. From our primary research, we know the number of lawyers looking for a new opportunity is not only tight but shrinking – and that this is proving to be not only a headache for most firms, but a growth inhibitor too.
So, it is even more important than before that you partner with the right recruiter to connect you with the talent you are looking for.
Unlike most recruitment agencies, who will only be investing in marketing to a shrinking pool of active jobseekers, we are investing in developing relationships with lawyers earlier on in their decision-making process, so that when they are ready to explore opportunities, they will come to us.
We have vast audiences across email marketing, social media and our video channels, and keep our talent pools highly engaged with content to help them with skill development and career progression.
Each year, we conduct in-depth research to find out why lawyers are choosing to stay with their current employer or making them vulnerable to having their heads turned by other firms.
Our unique insight enables us to advise law firms on how to best attract and retain talent, build a strong employer value proposition, and ultimately, help them to grow sustainably.

Realm were introduced to Maguire Family Law by recommendation and we have not been disappointed. Duane came to our office to meet the team and get a grasp of our ethos. We have only ever received appropriate CVs, excellent communication and client care. Thank you, team Realm.

Lucy was proactive as soon as she was instructed. Her communication was great and she kept us up to date on all steps and listened to our requirements with helpful suggestions along the way.

Kelly has been absolutely brilliant to work with over the last 12 months. She quickly understood the culture of our firm, and what we were looking for. In a very difficult and passive market she was able to find excellent candidates for us, who have been a brilliant fit into our team and firm. Kelly has recruited 5 team members for us, and we're going from strength to strength.

Joseph has been, and continues to be, a pleasure to deal with. He is both professional and personable and crucially, he has a real feel for our business. His understanding of the brief and the type of candidates we require means there have been regular success stories as our team continues to grow.

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 Brabners we’ve worked with Realm for a number of years now and it's been a positive experience. It's a good relationship and we enjoy dealing with the Realm team. They’re our kind of people and are good to deal with. But beyond that, they get what we're about and they understand what sets us apart as a firm and what we looking for. When it comes to the candidates the Realm team put forward, it's about quality, not quantity - we don't get bombarded with unsuitable CVs. It’s not just a tick box exercise based on experience, their consultants work to understand the candidate and whether they'd be a good fit for us and that we'd be a good fit for them."

Each time we have provided Lucy with a candidate brief, we have been provided with high-level consultancy support. Lucy is very diligent and detail-focused on the requirements of our candidate brief - and critically - delivers results. It is refreshing to work with a "commercially aware" recruitment consultant who truly understands our business. We look forward to Lucy assisting our business with our growth road plan.
