Search Consultant

Position Description
Thinking of a career move? We have found that the ideal professional search consultant, known at MLA as a Managing Director, is smart, entrepreneurial, a "people" person who is seeking a good work/life balance. Our recruiters report that they enjoy the opportunity to leverage their legal education and experience but prefer to work more closely to help candidates and clients find the best match rather than practice law. They enjoy working hard and interacting with other smart, interesting people as clients, candidates and peers. Our search consultants focus on recruiting in the practice areas that fit their background: law firm associates; law firm partners; General Counsels or corporate counsel.

Position qualifications include: a J.D. degree or prior legal search experience; a minimum of 2 to 5 years experience working in a large law firm, in-house law department, executive recruiting firm or top law school career services office; excellent interpersonal skills; strong writing skills; an entrepreneurial, risk-positive spirit; extraordinary dedication to client service and a demonstrated commitment to ethics.
