Attorney Recruiter - Attorney Talent Acquisition Partner

Location: San Antonio, Texas

Reports to: Recruiting Manager

About the role

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.

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

• 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.
