- Assist with Pirical data and building candidate lists

Long-Term Progression (Optional)
For candidates who want to grow, we offer:
- training to become a US legal recruiter
- structured promotion into delivery consultant
- potential progression into a closer role
- higher salary bands after year one
- bonuses based on performance
If you prefer to stay in a stable resourcer role, that is also welcome.
