Title: Attorney Recruiter - Attorney Talent Acquisition Partner
Location: San Antonio, Texas
Reports to: Recruiting Manager
Compensation: $100,000+ DOE with Bonus Potential
The RoleThis is not a job-board-posting, resume-forwarding role. You are a hunter. Your job is to identify, engage, court, and close the attorneys who make our firm win at trial - from first-year associates to seasoned litigators with their own trial records, most of whom are currently employed and not actively looking. You'll own a portfolio of Texas markets, build a living map of the attorney talent in them, and run a full-cycle pipeline from sourcing through offer acceptance and first-day landing.
What You'll Do- Build and maintain a proprietary map of plaintiff/PI attorney talent across your markets - trial experience, practice focus, tenure, and likely motivators.
- Proactively source and engage passive candidates through direct outreach, referrals, bar events, and local attorney groups - not by waiting on inbound applications.
- Own full-cycle recruiting: sourcing, first contact, screening, selling the opportunity, interview coordination, references and conflicts checks, offer support, close, and 30/60/90-day landing.
- Develop referral pipelines and build relationships with current TJH attorneys and law school alumni.
- Partner with practice-group and pod leaders to define role scorecards and calibrate candidate quality.
- Track pipeline health and report weekly on activity, funnel conversion, time-to-fill, offer-acceptance rate, and quality-of-hire.
- Represent the firm's growth story - the Academy, the career path, the pod model - credibly to skeptical, high-performing candidates.
What You Bring- JD from an accredited law school, Texas Bar license preferred.
- 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience - ideally in legal, professional services, or high-volume sales/executive search. Legal recruiting or agency search experience is strongly preferred.
- A demonstrated track record of sourcing and closing passive candidates, not just processing inbound applicants.
- Fluency with modern ATS/CRM and sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed Smart Sourcing, Boolean sourcing, bar-directory research).
- Exceptional relationship, persuasion, and closing skills - you can hold your own with a senior litigator.
- High activity tolerance and a metric-driven, competitive mindset. You like a scoreboard. Willing to travel across Texas markets and work some evenings/events.
- Familiarity with the Texas legal market and PI practice a strong plus. Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus given our client base and markets.
Why This Role- Uncapped incentive tied to placements and retention - your production drives your pay.
- You're building the pipeline for a firm every Texas lawyer already knows, now it's professionalizing its entire attorney experience.
- Real infrastructure behind you: a growth transformation with executive sponsorship, budget, and a defined operating model - not a lone-wolf assignment.

- 80% employer-paid medical
- Dental, vision, and supplemental insurance
- Relocation assistance
