The Role

Make your mark on one of our fastest-growing markets by driving Axiom’s growth throughout the Lone Star State through the acquisition of top-tier legal talent. This is a uniquely commercial recruitment role that interfaces closely with the Texas sales team to calibrate legal talent with client demand. Additionally, this role nurtures our current lawyer community through social events and networking.

Specifically, this role will:

• Support the lawyer team in assessing client demand and analyzing relevant data and metrics.
• Cultivate lawyer recruitment strategy and identify talent through passive and active sources including online postings, social networks, internet research, referrals, cold calls, user groups, professional associations, and direct recruiting.
• Coordinate the candidate interview and hiring process; conduct preliminary interviews and, in partnership with the team, use professional judgement to evaluate lawyer candidates.
• Construct interview paths and assignments for incoming candidates and serve as the main point of contact, ensuring all candidate correspondence is completed in a timely manner.
• Coordinate and facilitate recruitment events and seasonal parties for the lawyer talent.
• Provide administrative assistance to the Houston office, including monitoring office supplies and greeting guests.

As such, successful candidates must be highly capable in each of the following dimensions (among others): adaptability, curiosity, resourcefulness, analytical thinking/problem solving, proactivity, collaboration, technological savvy, and operating with/through a lean team.

Beyond these characteristics, here are the required skills, knowledge, capabilities, and education for this particular role:

• 1 - 2 years of professional experience, bonus points if it’s recruiting experience within a law firm, recruitment agency, professional services or corporate in-house environment.
• Business acumen; strong written and verbal communication skills.
• High EQ; ability to effectively assess candidate skills and interests.
• Extremely organized and able to operate in a high pressure, fast-paced team environment.
• Incredibly proactive and independent; demonstrates great initiative and adaptability.
