We specialize in placing leadership and senior professional talent through a partner-led, research-driven search approach. We are building out a dedicated practice for legal and governance hiring and are looking for an experienced consultant to own and grow it.

We are seeking a senior Talent Acquisition Consultant to lead retained and exclusive search mandates for senior legal and company secretary positions. This is a specialist, full-desk role: you will own client relationships, run end-to-end search processes, and build a deep talent network across General Counsel, Head of Legal, Company Secretary, Compliance, and allied governance roles. The role spans our priority sectors chemicals, FMCG, pharma, real estate, consumer durables, and infrastructure.

Role & responsibilities

- Own and deliver senior search mandates end-to-end from client briefing and role calibration through research, headhunting, candidate assessment, shortlist presentation, offer negotiation, and closure.
- Develop and maintain a proprietary network of senior legal and company secretary talent, including General Counsels, Legal Heads, Company Secretaries, Compliance Heads, and legal counsel across the target industries.
- Build market intelligence and talent maps for the legal/governance function across chemicals, FMCG, pharma, real estate, consumer durables, and infrastructure, including organization structures, compensation benchmarks, and talent movement.
- Act as a trusted advisor to client stakeholders typically CHROs, founders, board members,



and existing General Counsels on talent availability, market conditions, and hiring strategy.
- Manage multiple concurrent mandates while maintaining quality, timelines, and a solid candidate and client experience.
- Contribute to business development by identifying mandate opportunities, supporting pitches, and converting market relationships into search assignments.
- Maintain rigorous documentation and pipeline hygiene across the search database/CRM.

Preferred candidate profile

- Atleast 8-10 years of recruitment experience, with a substantial portion in executive search, retained search, or senior-level hiring.
- Demonstrated experience hiring for legal and/or company secretary roles, or a strong functional understanding of the legal and governance domain (familiarity with roles such as GC, Legal Head, CS, Compliance, and the distinction between litigation, corporate, regulatory, and secretarial functions).
- Exposure to one or more of the priority sectors chemicals, FMCG, pharma, real estate, consumer durables, or infrastructure.
- Proven ability to independently manage senior mandates and engage credibly with CXO-level and board-level stakeholders.
- Strong research, headhunting, and direct-sourcing skills beyond job-board reliance.

Preferred Attributes

- Familiarity with regulatory and governance context (Companies Act, SEBI, listing obligations) sufficient to converse credibly with candidates and clients.
- Track record of building a desk, practice, or vertical from an early stage.
