Legal Recruitment Agency
At Owen Reed, it’s our mission to match the best with the best.
We’ve been connecting talented legal support professionals with leading City law firms for over fifteen years, and the results speak for themselves. Our ratio of CVs received to people placed is 3:1, an industry-beating average.
But this all means very little if the candidates placed are plucked only from exclusive circles. Frustrated by the underrepresentation of minority groups in the talent acquisition world, we have decided to launch a platform which strives to level the playing field.
The Diversity Talent Platform is a recruitment revolution.
It’s a digital high street for legal support recruitment, a streamlined and cost-effective way for recruiters and legal support staff to find each other without the stress of candidate ghosting, false leads and inflated agency spends. Crucially, as London is 44% minority ethnic, we ensure that our talent pool is diversity reflective.
Our cutting-edge platform aggregates elite-level candidates from leading job boards and our own professional networks.
We screen every candidate personally and rather than hiding them behind closed doors, we showcase them all on our user-friendly platform. Instead of making assumptions about what you want, we ensure that you start with the most inclusive candidate pool possible, guaranteeing that you’ll hire the most diverse, most skilled workforce available.
