About the job

Key Responsibilities

  • Reach out to highly qualified attorney leads supplied by Argos — no need to build a pipeline from cold outreach alone; leads are pre-vetted and provided to you

  • Conduct outreach and initial consultations to assess candidates' practice area, experience, book of business, and career goals

  • Supplement provided leads with your own outreach and networking as your pipeline matures

  • Client Commitment & Relationship Management

  • Present Argos's confidential, principal-led search process and secure candidate commitment to work exclusively (or in confidence) with Argos

  • Set expectations with candidates around timeline, process, and confidentiality — acting as their trusted advisor throughout

  • Maintain regular communication with candidates to keep them engaged and informed at each stage

  • Blind Profile Development

  • Translate candidate backgrounds into polished, anonymized ("blind") profiles that highlight practice area strength, experience, and value — without revealing identity

  • Ensure profiles are positioned strategically to generate interest from the right firms

  • Collaborate with candidates to refine profiles based on firm feedback

  • Firm Outreach & Business Development

  • Identify and reach out to law firms with likely hiring needs matching candidate profiles

  • Pitch blind profiles to firm decision-makers (partners, hiring committees, GCs) and generate interest in scheduling introductions

  • Build and grow relationships with firms as repeat clients of Argos's search services

  • Deal Management & Closing

  • Manage the introduction process between candidate and firm once mutual interest is confirmed

  • Coordinate interviews, feedback loops, and negotiations through to offer and placement

  • Track pipeline activity and progress using CRM/ATS tools; report on placement metrics and revenue generated

  • Training & Support

  • Receive hands-on training from Argos's principals on the legal search process, blind profile development, candidate/firm communication, and closing techniques

  • Ongoing coaching and support as you build toward independently managing your own book of candidates and firm relationships
