We are looking for a strong recruiter with experience in sourcing and hiring highly specialized professionals, primarily within the legal field, who can independently manage the full recruitment cycle — from taking the brief to candidate onboarding.
The primary focus will be on roles where standard job board sourcing is not enough, including Legal Counsel, Corporate Advisor, International Lawyer, Compliance Specialist, Tax Advisor, Corporate Administrator, Finance / Treasury Specialists, and other niche positions.
We are looking for someone who approaches recruitment strategically: understands the professional profile, identifies relevant talent pools, and knows how to engage and convert passive candidates.
Responsibilities
- Take detailed briefs from Hiring Managers and translate them into an effective search strategy.
- Independently source candidates through LinkedIn, professional communities, talent databases, referrals, and other channels.
- Conduct market mapping and provide the business with up-to-date market insights: talent availability, compensation levels, potential talent pools, and the feasibility of the requirements.
- Conduct initial screening and assess candidates against the requirements of the role.
- Work with passive candidates and conduct direct search.
- Conduct interviews, assess motivation, career expectations, and professional expertise.
- Present a shortlist of relevant candidates with clear rationale for each profile.
- Manage candidates throughout the entire recruitment process through to offer and onboarding.
- Maintain regular communication with Hiring Managers and provide ongoing market feedback.
- Manage multiple specialized vacancies simultaneously.
Requirements
- 4+ years of experience in recruitment / executive search / headhunting, including at least 1 year working with specialized roles in Legal, Compliance, Finance, or Corporate Services.
- Proven experience hiring for complex or niche positions.
- Strong knowledge of Boolean / X-Ray search and other sourcing strategies.
- Strong LinkedIn sourcing and direct search skills.
- Proven experience working with passive candidates.
- Ability to independently understand and navigate complex professional profiles.
- Good understanding of the Legal / Finance / Compliance talent market.
- English — B2+.
- High level of autonomy and ownership: you come to the Hiring Manager with a market map and search strategy, not with the question, “Who should we look for?”
- Strong communication skills and the ability to build effective relationships with Hiring Managers.
- Focus on quality shortlists and successful hires, rather than the number of CVs sourced.
We offer
- An opportunity to work in an in-house recruitment environment.
- Interesting and challenging international vacancies.
- The opportunity to independently shape and influence the search strategy.
- Flexible working hours.
- Relocation to Cyprus: support with work permit and registration, as well as assistance with finding accommodation.
- The opportunity to work with international Legal, Corporate, Finance, and Compliance professionals and markets.
