Novae Vitae is a legal recruitment business based in Manchester recruiting for both private practice and in-house. We recruit at all levels within the legal profession, focusing on fee earning and support staff as well as assisting in partner and management moves. We have a focus on establishing and maintaining long-standing relationships with our clients and candidates, guiding them through their business journeys and careers. How Novae Vitae can help? Contingent recruitment Our aim is to understand your business needs. This includes who you need and when. Our experience and relationships within the legal profession allow us to advise you as to who is available in the market at the time you need them most. Retained recruitment We can represent your team or firm exclusively on retained assignments, focusing on providing you with an untapped pool of suitable candidates. These types of assignments allow us to dedicate more resources to attract talent solely for you. It can be very beneficial for handling sensitive or niche hires as well as in highly competitive candidate driven areas. We can also work with you to create advertising and marketing pieces to raise the profile of your firm. Search and selection Due to the legal profession being a small professional circle, it is not always possible for our clients to approach specific individuals. We have experience in opening channels of dialogue between our clients and those they cannot access directly.
