Market Update
As we move into the final two months of the year, many companies are scrambling to secure their final recruits of the year before the great December slowdown occurs. At the tail point of the year, traditionally, we have seen the legal recruitment market peak within September, with October, November, and December being the quieter months at this level. At approximately the 10th of December, we naturally will begin to see a dramatic slowdown in the market, as key stakeholders start to cash in on all of the unspent holidays, which has a knock-on effect on processes.
October has been a quiet month at the senior level with a greatly reduced frequency of roles in the market in comparison to September. We have compiled all the top senior roles within the London market for Head of Legal and General Counsel positions for October to assist our great and established relationships at this level, with the aim of assisting the candidates within the passive market easily access information on what is currently out there.
