Legal
Candidates rightly expect recruitment agencies to have a deep understanding of the legal sector and the roles they are hiring, using this strong knowledge to source the right candidates and provide valuable insights.
But if your recruiter hasn't worked in the sector how do they really know what it's like, understand 'firm life', the alternative routes to qualification and the diverse areas of law from public to regulatory.
