Wilco Services
Legal Recruitment
-
We place lawyers at all levels and across all major practice areas, from solicitors through to directors and partners. We also recruit in-house, from junior lawyers up to General Counsel.
-
We take the time to understand your firm or legal team - the work, the culture, the growth plan. For candidates, we go beyond the job specification to understand motivations, career goals, and what will make a move genuinely worthwhile.
The result is a shortlist that fits, and placements that stick.
-
We’ve sat in the chair. We know what it’s like to build a team, bill hours, and manage client expectations. We understand what it means to weigh up a lateral move. That experience informs every conversation we have - with hiring partners and candidates alike.
Leadership Recruitment
-
We recruit senior leaders across accounting, finance, sales, and marketing - including GMs, directors, and heads of function.
-
Leadership hiring is high stakes. The wrong appointment costs time, money, and momentum. We take a search-led approach - mapping the market, identifying passive candidates, and building a shortlist based on capability, culture fit, and strategic alignment.
Every candidate is assessed against where your organisation is heading, not just where it is today.
-
We have the networks and the commercial judgement to identify leaders who will make an impact. We don’t recycle the same shortlists - we find the right people.
Hiring the right person matters. A strong hire lifts a team; a poor one costs far more than the recruiter’s fee. We take that seriously.
For Clients
-
A focused process from brief to placement. Honest advice on market conditions, salary expectations, and candidate availability. A shortlist built around the role, the team, and the direction of your organisation. Proactive communication throughout - no chasing required.
-
We work on exclusive and retained mandates, tailored to the complexity of the role.
For senior and confidential appointments, a retained search ensures dedicated focus and full market coverage. Where speed and precision are the priority, an exclusive engagement gives you a single point of accountability with full access to our networks.
-

For Candidates
Your career is not a transaction. We get that.
Whether you’re actively looking or just keeping your options open, we’re here to have an honest conversation about where you are and where you want to be. We don’t push roles that don’t fit. We don’t send your CV anywhere without your knowledge. And we don’t disappear after the placement is made.
-
Recruiters who understand your profession. Straight talk on the market, salary benchmarks, and what’s realistic. Access to roles that aren’t advertised, through our networks across legal and commercial sectors. A confidential, respectful process from first conversation to first day.
-
Lawyers at all levels - from solicitors through to partners and General Counsel.
Leaders across accounting, finance, sales, and marketing. If you’re at a point in your career where the next move matters, we should talk.
