Finding the Right Legal Talent, the Right Way

Our Embedded Recruitment model is designed for organisations seeking a more strategic, in-house approach to legal hiring without the overhead of building a full internal team.

We integrate seamlessly into your business, operating as an extension of your HR or Talent function to deliver consistent, high-quality legal hires.

This model supports clients who want to:

• Strengthen their employer value proposition within the legal market
• Reduce time-to-hire while improving quality and retention
• Gain real-time visibility into candidate pipelines and market response
• Introduce structure and consistency through hiring frameworks and interview packs
• Equip Partners, GCs, and hiring managers with practical coaching and guidance

The result is a flexible, cost-effective recruitment solution that combines the market reach of an agency with the control and insight of an in-house function.

Role-by-Role Legal Hiring

For organisations requiring targeted or on-demand support, our Role-by-Role Hiring service delivers focused, high-quality recruitment on a contingency basis.

This model is ideal for:

• Senior, specialist, or confidential legal hires
• One-off or urgent vacancies
• Businesses without ongoing hiring demand

Clients benefit from:

• Targeted search and direct access to high-calibre legal professionals
• Market insight and salary benchmarking to position roles competitively
• Hands-on sourcing, screening, and candidate management
• A dedicated legal recruitment partner who understands your business and culture

In addition to recruitment delivery, we support clients through discrete project work, including:

Outplacement Support
Professional, discreet outplacement services for legal professionals during restructure or organisational change, protecting both employer brand and employee experience.

Hiring Manager Training
Practical training for Partners, General Counsel, and hiring managers covering legal interviewing, assessment, market expectations, and decision-making to improve long-term hiring outcomes.

Traditional recruitment models often prioritise speed over quality or cost over partnership.
We take a different approach.

Our clients choose HarKaye Core Talent because we provide:

• Legal-sector expertise, not generalist recruitment
• Flexible models that scale with hiring demand
• Clear communication, data-led insight, and full transparency
• A genuine partnership focused on long-term success, not short-term placements
