What’s the Point in Trying to Recruit - We've Advertised a Vacancy on our Website for Years without any responses - an article by Jonathan Fagan, MD of Ten Percent Legal Recruitment.

If you’ve ever muttered this (usually while staring at the same job advert you posted sometime in 2018), you’re not alone. Many firms quietly keep a “careers” page ticking along, hoping the right candidate will simply stumble across it one day. we are guilty of the same - we have had an advert on the Ten Percent Legal site since 2011 for a London based recruitment consultant to get us into the larger Legal 100 firm market!

Unfortunately, most solicitors aren’t casually browsing individual law firm websites in their spare time, waiting to be inspired. The reality is that the legal recruitment market has shifted. Good candidates are busy, often already employed, used to getting contacted almost daily by 'headhunters' and a little bit sceptical.

Reading Time: 5 minutesNew Solicitors Looking For Work & Law Firms For Sale Update - Ten Percent Legal - 15th April 2026

15/04/2026

Not quite as dramatic as “should I leave law altogether?” but still enough to prompt a fair bit of overthinking during your commute or while updating your LinkedIn “just to see what’s out there.”

The honest answer is that there’s no perfect timeline, but there are definitely some patterns, expectations and a bit of unspoken etiquette in the UK legal market that are worth understanding.

In writing this article, you may think we have a vested interest in encouraging moves. The more times a candidate leaves and joins a new firm, the more money a recruitment consultant makes, so therefore we should advise candidates to leave firms every 12 months. Actually, we prefer recruitment where in 15 years time the candidate we placed is now the recruiting partner and remembers what a nice bunch of recruiters we are to work with!

Don't Leave Too Quickly

Let’s start with the obvious one. Leaving too quickly can raise eyebrows and damage your career.
