Staffing Coordinator, HR​/Recruitment

Are you a  people person  with a legal background? Do you love the thrill of making the perfect match?

Carolina Legal Associates is looking for a dynamic Legal Staffing Coordinator to join our fantastic team! For over 25 years, we’ve been the go-to experts for connecting top-tier legal professionals with the best firms and companies throughout the Carolinas. We’re growing, and we need your help to continue our success story.

We’re not a giant, faceless corporation. We are a small, close-knit crew that truly values honesty, integrity, and good old-fashioned hard work. We interact all day, every day, so we’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys being part of a team.

Here, we all pitch in to get the job done. We’re seeking a  can-do  person with an all-hands-on-deck  spirit. You'll fit right in if you are collaborative, solution-focused, and always willing to help a teammate. We celebrate our successes together and reward your contributions with an excellent benefits package, a competitive salary, and commission-based bonuses.

This role is perfect for a legal professional who is outgoing, loves a fast-paced environment, and has a natural knack for sales. If you're looking for a change of pace from a traditional legal role and want to use your skills in a new way, this could be your next great adventure.

We are looking for a blend of personality and experience.

• Legal field experience (this is highly preferred!)
• Outstanding interpersonal and communication skills—you can build rapport with anyone
• A super-high level of attention to detail and organization
• Top-notch professionalism and the ability to handle confidential information

• Bachelor’s or Associate’s degree (or equivalent work experience)
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Outlook, Windows)
• The ability to manage a large database and work independently

• Recruiting or staffing experience
• Experience with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)
• 1-2 years in a human resources role

As our Staffing Coordinator, you will be the bridge between our clients and our candidates. You will actively:

• Partner with clients to understand their exact hiring needs for each legal role.
• Develop smart recruitment strategies based on client inquiries.
• Build and maintain strong, positive relationships with both candidates and clients to encourage future business.

• Actively source and review all incoming resumes for your open positions.
• Conduct in-depth phone screens and virtual interviews to find the perfect fit.
• Perform confidential background checks, reference checks, and employment verifications.

• Manage all candidate information and notes in our Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
• Coordinate and schedule all interviews between clients and candidates.
• Extend employment offers and skillfully negotiate compensation packages.

• Provide regular updates to the team on your recruitment activities and progress.
• Track all placements, position changes, and client communications.
• Assist with maintaining our company’s website.
• Ensure all hiring practices comply with employment laws.
• ...and jump in to help with other team projects as needed!
