The Opportunity
We are looking for a highly motivated, organized and collaborative Recruiting Specialist to join our US recruiting team. This is a broad and substantive role: your primary focus will be business services hiring across all functional areas of the firm, complemented by meaningful involvement in law student recruitment and lateral attorney recruitment.
From day one, you will manage real searches, build genuine relationships with firm leadership, practice group heads, and department managers and serve as a true ambassador for the HSF Kramer brand with every candidate you meet. You will be supported by an experienced recruiting team and given the tools, guidance and autonomy to grow.
We are looking for someone who brings strong judgment, genuine curiosity and a service orientation to their work — someone who takes ownership of the candidate experience as much as the outcome of the search. This position is based in the New York office and follows a hybrid work schedule.
Manage full-cycle recruiting for assigned requisitions, including job posting, sourcing, resume review, interview coordination, and offer preparation.
Serve as a professional representative of the firm and liaison to candidates and hiring managers, ensuring a strong candidate experience, clear communication, and responsive follow-through.
Work with the Recruiting Manager to conduct market research, including competitor role analysis, salary benchmarking, and candidate pool assessment, to help manage stakeholder expectations around timing and search difficulty.
QUALIFICATIONS, SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
Exact compensation may vary based on skills and experience. The anticipated salary range for this role is $78,000–$95,000 per year.
