Legal
In the realm of business protection and business enablement, a great deal of responsibility rests on the shoulders of the legal function. Legal functions tend to take many different forms, but generally, they consist of professionals who oversee transactions, regulatory requirements, internal compliancy, investigations, financial management and, depending on the business, service design.
In today’s working world, the pressure to maintain business compliance and reduce costs is higher than ever, and the rapid evolution of digital tech is changing the legal landscape irrevocably. Keeping up with these unprecedented changes is essential for any business hoping to prepare themselves for the future and retain their competitive edge. This is only doable by taking a future-facing approach to business growth and scaling, and this means that getting the right people on board is essential.
Top legal talent is hard to come by in a candidate-short market, especially when the threat of a recession looms over the horizon. From the junior legal assistant jobs to the compliance directors, trying to source legal talent when your fiercest competition is doing the same is exceptionally tough when you don’t know where to start looking. Talk of global talent shortages is somewhat fallacious, since there is talent out there, it’s just a question of tapping into the 100% of the market. If you’re having trouble recruiting the right legal talent to enrich your business, it’s worth turning your attention to a third-party recruitment agency for support. This is where we come in.
At Broadgate, we take a community-led, DEIB-focussed approach to recruitment, enabling us to extend your reach and source diverse talent from all over the world. Often, the inhouse leaders responsible for hiring talent will rely heavily on their personal networks and referrals from inside that network, effectively limiting the search to just a small portion of the available market. When you outsource this need to us, you can immediately extend your reach outside of the current exhausted markets, as we can pinpoint talent that’s exclusive to our community network.
We offer both embedded and retained hiring solutions for high-growth, tech-enabled businesses, and we will always tailor our search to your specific company needs and vision. Every business is unique, and so too are their hiring requirements. We will always match you with candidates who align with your company culture, allowing you to adopt a right-first-time approach to hiring, reducing fatigue and boosting productivity in the process.
If this sounds like something your company could benefit from, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the team at Broadgate today, our specialist consultants are here to help. If you happen to be looking for a legal job of your own, then we can support you on your journey toward a rewarding new career.
We place all of our candidates in safe, supportive and inclusive environments in which we know they can thrive. If you have any questions at all about our DEIB-led methodology, our hiring products, our people, brand, community partners, or the world of business protection and business enablement recruitment in general, reach out today, we’d love to have a chat.
