Description

If you’re a Newcastle-based Paralegal feeling capped, overlooked, or ready for a new challenge, then legal recruitment could be the career move you didn’t know you were looking for.

At QED Legal, we have a proven track record of successfully training Paralegals and Solicitors into high-performing Legal Recruitment Consultants. Roughly a quarter of our consultants previously worked as Paralegals or Solicitors - they’ve made the transition, thrived in recruitment, and never looked back.

We understand the legal world because we come from it, so we are able to provide comprehensive training on an ongoing basis for you to be successful. As a Paralegal, you will already have gained some of the skills needed to flourish in legal recruitment, skills such as: 

  • Strong legal knowledge
  • Commercial awareness
  • Relationship-driven mindset
  • Confidence dealing with lawyers and firms

As part of our comprehensive training program, you will be taught the recruitment skills needed to make the transition successfully and reap the benefits that recruitment can offer.  

Positioning yourself at a well-respected, highly successful and thriving agency is critical for any recruitment career. We aren't your typical agency, and here is what makes us different:

  • Employee-Owned Business – bi-annual profit share payouts
  • Commission up to 60% per quarter – no thresholds
  • Clear progression pathways – no guesswork
  • Excellent benefits, including FREE Pure Gym membership
  • Early finish incentives – Fridays at 3pm
  • Up to 30 days’ holiday + bank holidays + Christmas shutdown

So, if you’re an ambitious, commercially minded Paralegal, and ready to earn 3x - 4x your current annual salary, then this is your opportunity to step out of a traditional legal role and into a dynamic, rewarding recruitment career.

Interested? Get in touch with QED Legal today and find out where your legal background could really take you.
