Exclusive research conducted by Momentum Intelligence, in partnership with Lawyers Weekly, has revealed that nearly half of all legal professionals surveyed would not approach a recruitment firm if they were looking to change jobs.

Speaking to Lawyers Weekly, Eliza Kirkby, regional director at Hays Recruitment, said this result was somewhat unexpected but could be due to legal professionals’ own personal networks.
“This is somewhat surprising given candidates who are in the market could be missing out on opportunities that are not openly advertised by employers for various, and often confidential, reasons,” Ms Kirkby said.
“An explanation for this may be that lawyers tend to build their own networks and feel that they will be able to rely on those connections to source their own opportunities.
“Increasingly we are seeing many more senior candidates reaching out to us, as there are fewer opportunities in the market at their level. These candidates tend to be more open to contract roles that our clients find difficult to source for at short notice, and this is a trend that is likely to continue.”
