Job Description

At Niche, we create pathways between exceptional people and specialist roles.

We have a strategic focus on building stronger, more representative and inclusive workplaces in Aotearoa New Zealand.  In order to deliver on our vision and values we must identify the very best talent for our clients.  To do this we need consultants with specialist skills in truly understanding the needs of our clients and identifying the top potential talent for the roles our clients entrust us with.  

We place huge value on our candidates, and appreciate that they trust us with their futures, and we take that responsibility really seriously.

As legal recruitment specialists we are focused on building and nurturing communities of legal talent.  Our ability to understand what our clients need and identify the best people to go forward for new roles puts us at the forefront of our field.

Mō tēnei tūranga mahi | About the role

We are seeking a Legal Recruitment Consultant to join our team in Tāmaki Makaurau. On a daily basis you will be:

• Connecting with the legal market, building networks of clients to whom you will act as a trusted advisor on recruitment matters
• Interviewing and assessing professional and executive talent, and other specialist candidates as requested, ensuring that you can identify transferable skills and accurately represent them in order to maximise their career possibilities
• Connecting and getting to know candidates, and developing the basis for long lasting relationships with our current and future leaders.

Ko koe tēnei | About you

We are looking for an awesome communicator, who is a natural connector.  If you’re already the friend introducing all your friends to one another, introducing family members to potential employers or vice versa (and maybe a bit of match making), this job is for you. A genuine interest in helping people realise their goals is a huge component of the role. 

You should enjoy working as part of a team and have a flair for dealing with people from all walks of life.  Niche places great importance on Diversity and Inclusion strategies in the workplace and ensuring that these standards are met within our recruitment processes.  Dedication in this area, together with the desire to succeed will ensure your success. 

You will ideally have completed an LLB and may be a new graduate, or you may have gained legal practice experience, or other work experience.

With the demographics of our nation changing, we’re excited to welcome applicants who have proficiency in te reo Māori, Mandarin or Cantonese or a Pacific language, but this is not essential.

Mōu | For you

Our rewards include a competitive base salary, uncapped bonus structure, flexibility to work from home, a mobile/data plan, along with the potential to earn up to 12 extra paid leave days a year.

As a Māori-owned business, we’re passionate about the revitalisation of te reo Māori and we provide weekly te reo Māori lessons for all our kaimahi (staff).
