Independent Legal Recruiter (Revenue-Share | High-Earning Potential)

Location: Remote (North America preferred)

Engagement: Independent Contractor

Compensation: Aggressive revenue-share + performance upside

Focus: Elite Legal Talent (Law Firms, In-House, High-Growth Companies)

The Opportunity

We're partnering with a top-tier independent recruiter who specializes in Legal talent and operates at a professional, self-directed level.

• This is not a volume desk.
• This is not a training program.

• This is for a recruiter who already has scar tissue, standards, and a track record.

If you know how to identify real Legal talent, manage hiring partners, run a clean search, and close this is a revenue-sharing model built for serious earners.

You bring the expertise.

We bring the platform, clients, support, and infrastructure.

Everyone wins when placements are made.
