CRA Executive Search & Selection: Bespoke recruitment solutions for the legal industry 

CRA’s specialist executive search and selection service has been created to find law firms and in-house legal departments the people they need to take the next step.

Alternatively, if you are an outstanding candidate looking for the perfect position with which to accelerate your career, our executive search and selection team can help you identify and pursue the exactly the right opportunities.

Legal Search & Selection for clients

Our process is designed to give you the best results by selecting individuals who meet your brief.

You will be in the hands of our highly experienced consultants.  They will use a highly successful combination of their expertise, their networks and the latest technology to profile and find the best individuals for the opportunities you have identified within your organisation.

Our retained approach to executive search and selection means we can allocate all our resources internally so every role enjoys the attention and resource needed to deliver the best results. 

We do this by following our proven search and selection process:

  • Instruction and planning

We will do everything to ensure we understand the brief and have all the resources to start the campaign.

  • Design and review

We design the adverts and review all the existing materials and methods before agreeing a plan with you that confirms the timeframes and the methods we’ll use.

  • Research

Our consultants are well supported by a research team that has an already well-developed network in the specialism you are looking to recruit in.

  • Interview

Any suitable candidates are interviewed by us.  We will use the most suitable psychometric testing and profiling methods if required.

  • State-of-the-art methods

We use traditional search and selection techniques combined with some of the latest AI tools in the industry as and when we need to.

  • Access to our networks

Our personal and professional networks enable us to reference and provide further information you can use to your benefit during the selection process.

  • Shortlisting

We present a final shortlist of candidates for you to interview together with notes on the shortlist and any additional information you require.

  • Ongoing support

Once we achieve a successful outcome, we will manage the offer process, help with onboarding then keep in touch during the first months in your new role to ensure you and your new colleague are fully settled.

Legal Search & Selection for candidates

Are you finding your legal career has stagnated and not developing as you’d like?  Perhaps your route to partnership is not clear if you’re in private practice?  Or your path to the C suite position you want is not open to you if you’re working in-house?  

If this is the case, our experienced consultants can help you.  We know how to create exciting new opportunities to a specific brief.

We have specialists across the legal sector who will work closely with you to identify the right organisations with the values and opportunities that will work for both sides.

We will work proactively for you either with a specific brief or introduce you to any roles within the multiple legal recruitment campaigns that match your ambitions.  

The first stage is to meet with you to create your personal career plan.  From there we will support you throughout the process, always sharing career advice and feedback where we can, until we achieve the optimum result for you.
