Legal Recruiter Remote

About Mission Recruiting

Mission Recruiting is a national recruiting firm exclusively focused on the legal industry. Founded in 2013 by two long-time friends and industry veterans, Mission was built on the belief that recruiting should be done with professionalism, discipline, and heart.

We support law firms across 20+ states, delivering high-level recruiting service in a structured, performance-driven environment. Mission Recruiting is a place for recruiters who want a full-time career, clear expectations, strong support, and the autonomy to do great work while being part of a collaborative team.

Mission Recruiting is hiring experienced Legal Recruiters to join our growing national team. Recruiters in this role partner with law firms across the country to place high-quality legal professionals and build long-term relationships.
