Attorney Recruiter - Attorney Talent Acquisition Partner

Location: San Antonio, Texas

About Thomas J. Henry Law

Thomas J. Henry Law is one of Texas’s most recognized personal injury trial firms — in practice since 1993, roughly 200 attorneys, and a statewide platform built on preparing every case as if it will go to trial. We are in the middle of an ambitious growth transformation: a formal PI Academy for attorney development, senior-lawyer-led practice pods, meritocratic advancement tiers, and a professional operating spine. We’re hiring a dedicated internal recruiting team to bring the best plaintiff attorney talent in Texas to that platform.

The Role

This 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.

Responsibilities

• 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.

Requirements

• 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.

Benefits

• Paid vacation, holidays, and leave
• 401(k) with 4% match (immediate vesting)
• 80% employer-paid medical
• Dental, vision, and supplemental insurance
• Relocation assistance
• Bar dues paid (first 3 years)
• Career advancement and leadership opportunities
• Gym membership and Employee Recognition Programs
• Regular company events and community involvement
