Why Employers Choose Fortray for Legal Recruitment

Our legal recruitment specialists conduct rigorous pre-assessments to ensure that every candidate we present is the right fit for your business, not only in terms of technical ability but also in cultural alignment and long-term potential.

The most effective in-house counsel, solicitors, or legal leaders are more than subject-matter experts; they’re commercially astute, solutions-driven, pragmatic communicators with the ability to simplify complex issues and understand the commercial priorities of your organisation. We invest time in understanding each candidate’s strengths, soft skills, and professional mindset so you only meet applicants who can make an immediate and lasting impact.

We begin every search with an in-depth consultation to fully understand your organisation’s needs, goals, and team dynamics. This allows us to present your opportunity with accuracy and appeal, especially to high-demand legal professionals who are often short on time and inundated with vague approaches.

By clearly articulating the role, its challenges, and its growth potential, we engage candidates whose technical expertise, interpersonal skills, and career ambitions align seamlessly with your requirements, thereby reducing the number of wasted interviews and applicant withdrawals.

Hiring the right legal professional is only half the battle—keeping them engaged and committed is equally crucial. Our consultants take time to understand each candidate’s career motivators, ensuring we only connect you with professionals who are likely to thrive within your organisation’s culture and vision. This targeted approach helps reduce attrition, safeguard team stability, and maximise the return on your hiring investment.

Some of the most talented legal professionals—whether partners, general counsel, or senior associates—are not actively seeking new roles. We specialise in discreetly engaging with this passive talent pool, building trusted relationships long before opportunities arise.

Through our legal executive search capabilities, market mapping, and access to the most advanced headhunting platforms, we can introduce you to exceptional professionals your competitors may never reach.

In legal environments, recruitment delays can strain resources, hinder strategic initiatives, and increase business risk. Fortray reduces your time-to-hire through proactive talent sourcing, optimised job positioning, and access to a ready network of vetted professionals.

We also support every stage of the hiring process, including crafting precise job descriptions, advising on diversity and inclusion, providing salary and benefits benchmarking, and managing offer negotiations. This ensures you not only secure top-tier legal talent but also retain them in a highly competitive market.
