About the Role

We are seeking a current Director of Legal Recruiting with hands-on experience recruiting attorneys, paralegals, and legal support staff. This role reports to the CHRO and leads a team of recruiters and coordinators in a highly respected, integrity-driven organization in Dallas.

This is a high-impact, leadership position responsible for full-cycle legal recruitment, building strategic hiring plans, and managing a team that drives results. Compensation is flexible for the right candidate.

On-site within the 635 Loop (near 75 & Walnut Hill), with one hybrid day per week available after six months.

What You Will Do

  • Lead full-cycle recruiting for attorneys, paralegals, and legal support roles
  • Directly manage and mentor a team of recruiters and HR professionals
  • Build and maintain strong pipelines of top-tier legal talent
  • Partner with business leaders to identify hiring needs and priorities
  • Optimize ATS workflows and sourcing strategies for maximum efficiency
  • Track, analyze, and report on recruitment metrics to leadership
  • Ensure a seamless, positive candidate experience
  • Represent the organization at legal job fairs, conferences, and networking events
  • Promote employer branding and diversity in hiring practices
  • Ensure full compliance with employment laws and internal policies

Required Qualifications

  • Currently recruiting attorneys, paralegals, and legal support staff as a primary responsibility
  • Currently managing a team of recruiters or HR professionals
  • Proven record of building and leading successful recruiting teams
  • 5+ years in talent acquisition or recruiting leadership
  • Proficiency in LinkedIn Recruiter, ATS systems, and other sourcing tools
  • Excellent interpersonal, communication, and leadership skills
  • Strong analytical and data-driven approach to recruitment
  • High level of professionalism, discretion, and ethical standards

Preferred Skills

  • HR/Talent Acquisition certification (e.g., SHRM-CP, PHR)
  • Experience with employer branding, social media recruiting, and talent marketing
  • Project management and onboarding experience
  • Familiarity with behavioral-based interviewing
  • Bilingual (Spanish or other languages) is a plus
  • Comfortable with HRIS systems, including ADP

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This role offers the chance to lead a high-performing legal recruiting team in an organization known for integrity, flexibility, and a family-first culture. The CHRO empowers her team while providing the support needed to succeed.

If you are a current Legal Recruiting professional in a management or leadership role, ready to take on a strategic, high-impact position, please submit your resume and compensation expectations now!
