Direct Hire Legal Recruiting for Law Firms
Flexible Recruiting Options. Focused Legal Search.
Finding the right legal professional takes more than posting a job and sorting through resumes.
Molt Legal Partners works exclusively within the legal industry, helping law firms recruit attorneys, paralegals, legal assistants, and other key legal professionals.
We offer both contingency and flat-fee recruiting options, allowing firms to choose the approach that makes the most sense for the position, hiring timeline, and level of search support needed.
Two Ways to Work With Us
Contingency Recruiting
Pay only when you hire.
There is no upfront recruiting fee. We identify, approach, and screen qualified legal professionals, and you pay a placement fee only if you hire a candidate introduced by Molt Legal Partners.
Contingency recruiting can be a good fit for firms that:
Have an active hiring need
Want access to qualified candidates beyond traditional job applicants
Prefer no upfront recruiting investment
Are comfortable working on a success-based fee structure
Flat-Fee Recruiting
A dedicated search with a predictable recruiting cost.
Our flat-fee option provides a focused recruiting search for one predetermined fee rather than a percentage of the candidate's salary.
Flat-fee recruiting can be a good fit for firms that:
Want a dedicated search for a specific position
Prefer predictable recruiting costs
Are hiring for a higher-compensation position where percentage-based fees can become expensive
Want focused sourcing and outreach from the beginning of the search

Flexible contingency and flat-fee options
We don't believe successful legal recruiting is about sending the most resumes.
It starts with understanding the firm, the position, the practice, and what the person stepping into the role actually needs to accomplish. From there, we identify and approach legal professionals whose experience and goals align with the opportunity.

When It May Be Time to Bring in a Recruiter
Law firms typically contact us when:
A key attorney or staff member has given notice.
A position has been open longer than expected.
Job postings aren't producing the right candidates.
The strongest candidates aren't actively applying to jobs.
Firm growth has created a new hiring need.
Attorneys or firm leadership don't have time to manage sourcing and initial screening.
The firm needs a more targeted approach than posting another job ad.
A More Focused Approach to Legal Hiring
The best candidate for your firm may not be looking at job boards.
That's why our search process includes direct outreach to legal professionals whose backgrounds align with the opportunity, including candidates who may be open to the right move but aren't actively applying for positions.
Whether you're adding an attorney, replacing an experienced paralegal, or building out your firm's support team, Molt Legal Partners can help you reach and evaluate candidates who may otherwise never see your opening.
