It's a significant time in the platform's development, and you will play a key role in the transformation and delivery.

As our BFlex Resourcing specialist, you will attract, develop, and engage with our pool of freelance Legal Consultants and Paralegals. You will work closely with the BFlex Resourcing Business Partner and other stakeholders to place Consultants into assignments within the firm's Legal departments or the legal teams of our clients.

• Develop and recommend resourcing solutions in collaboration with the Resourcing Business Partner.
• Negotiate assignment terms, conditions, and other contractual points.
• Communicate policies around regulatory matters such as employment status.
• Use social media to promote the BFlex scheme and interact with the candidate market.
• Represent Burges Salmon and the BFlex platform at industry events.
• Track and contribute data for regular management reporting.
• Assist with the processing of BFlex payroll and client billing processes.

What we're looking for:

• Previous experience in recruitment is essential.
• Experience in the legal sector is preferable; knowledge of the in-house interim market is ideal.
• A motivated and positive ‘can-do' attitude.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to speak to candidates of all levels.
