The legal market in the UK has been candidate led now for probably the last 10 years. That means there is a shortage of good quality candidates and the main challenge we face as a recruitment agency is finding those candidates. So if you know someone actively looking for a new position, or perhaps someone who feels disillusioned with their current role for one reason or another, and might be open to a friendly, confidential chat for some market advice and information about potential new opportunities, please let us know. If it results in a placement, we will pay you £100!
All you need to do is let us have the name and contact details (phone number and email address) of the candidate that you are referring, ideally having got their consent to do so, so that they are expecting our approach!
To qualify for the £100 referral fee payout:-
1. The referral must result in a placement, either on a temporary or permanent basis.
2. The referral must be of a new candidate, not someone already known to RLS Legal Recruitment (not registered on our database, nor having been contacted by us in the last 12 months).
3. The placement value must be in excess of £500.
4. The referred candidate must be placed in a role within 12 months of registration, by RLS Legal Recruitment.
- The referral fee will be payable by the end of the candidate's first week in position (and only if the candidate actually starts the role).
- Payment will be made by way of bank transfer, to your chosen account.
- For the avoidance of doubt, candidates are not able to refer themselves.
- In the event of any dispute, RLS Legal Recruitment’s decision is final.
People are at the heart of what we do. Our friendly and likeable approach creates long-lasting relationships which expand our network, builds our reputation and ultimately generates our success.
With a background practising in the legal sector, we understand the importance of professionalism throughout our dealings. We are smart, value integrity and have high standards and expectations.
We love everything about what we do. That is why we do it!
Rebecca Scadding is RLS Legal Recruitment Ltd’s principal recruiter.
She has a wealth of experience in the legal recruitment sector having had a successful career within a leading global recruitment agency for over seven years previously.
She initially trained and qualified as a solicitor with a well-regarded law firm in Bristol, but her love for people and the desire to work in a fast-paced environment motivated a switch to recruitment, for which her foundation in the law served her well.
Her legal background gives her a credible advantage over other recruiters as she has the ability to relate to technical legal terms and concepts, office environments and industry pressures.
"Rebecca captures the essence of her candidates and the law firms and industries she is instructed by. She is sharp, witty, funny, on the ball and on point with her advice. She managed to secure a couple of roles for me and I am ever so grateful for her services, and depth of knowledge, foresight and vision of the industry and clients. Thank you, Rebecca." (MAY 2023)
"I have been very happy with your services. You are informative, personable and it feels as though you are genuinely engaged in correct placement as opposed to commission-earning by whatever means necessary. A rare quality in agents in my experience." (FEBRUARY 2023)
"I had the pleasure of working with Rebecca Scadding during my recent job search, and her support was crucial in helping me land a new role. From our first phone call, Rebecca made a great effort to understand my specific career situation, goals, strengths, and preferences. She recogniSed that what worked for others might not fit me and guided me throughout the process. What impressed me most was her commitment to finding a role matching my skills and values. Before the interview, Rebecca offered great advice, helping me to understand the employer and showcase my strengths effectively. Her industry insight and connections opened up opportunities that I wouldn't have encountered on my own. I'm really excited about the job I got, and I owe it all to Rebecca. Her expert knowledge and professionalism made a huge difference to me. I truly appreciate her passion and dedication to helping me succeed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a job; her support was invaluable during my job search." (NOVEMBER 2024)
"I remember back in 2015 when I was looking to start locum work and was at a very low point professionally after the end of a difficult permanent position. You were the only person who believed in me and got me back working and helped to bring me through a very difficult time, with your advice, friendship and unwavering support. I always knew I could discuss any concerns I had and they would be considered in a calm and professional manner and help me to move forward, knowing you 'had my back'. I have, and will continue, to highly recommend you to anyone, who is contemplating a change in their legal career." (APRIL 2025)
