TEAM

We are proud to be genuine specialists within the private practice sector, building long-term relationships and supporting professionals across the legal industry with expertise, integrity and a highly personal approach.

Our culture is high-performing, ambitious and quality-driven, while remaining collaborative, supportive and down-to-earth. We trust our people to work with autonomy and maturity, which is why flexibility is embedded into the way we operate.

At Birchrose, you will find the opposite of a rigid or heavily corporate environment. We believe people perform at their best when they feel empowered, valued and genuinely enjoy what they do.

As part of Huntress, we offer the financial rewards, stability and infrastructure of an established business, combined with the authentic culture and personal feel of a boutique agency. It is a balance that sets us apart and one of the reasons people genuinely enjoy building their careers with us.

What does a career at Birchrose look like?

01
Training

Setting you up for success

We take development seriously at Birchrose, but our approach is personal, hands-on and tailored. Rather than relying on generic training programmes, we work closely with each individual to provide ongoing support, regular feedback and meaningful exposure across the business.


We recognise that every recruiter has different strengths, ambitions and areas of development. Through regular one-to-ones and open conversations, we focus on helping people build long-term careers, not simply measuring performance against numbers.


Whether you are experienced in recruitment or just starting out, you will be supported by a collaborative leadership team that is invested in your growth.

02
Progression

THE SKY'S THE LIMIT

We are committed to transparency when it comes to progression at Birchrose. Our internal promotion framework, Career Pathway, provides clear structure around development and promotion, with progression based on both performance and how you demonstrate our values.


We recognise that success looks different for different people, which is why our pathway has two routes: one for high-performing consultants focused on billings and client relationships, and another for those looking to develop into leadership and management. Consultants also have the flexibility to move between these pathways as their skills, interests, and career goals evolve.


As a growing and ambitious business, we are proud to promote people quickly when they are ready, while also recognising and valuing long-term success at every level.

03
Remuneration

Be in control of your earnings

We believe high performance should be recognised and rewarded properly. That is why we offer market-leading salaries alongside transparent, competitive commission structures that give our people real control over their earnings.


Our consultants can choose from three commission schemes depending on their level of billings, with greater performance leading to greater reward.


Alongside individual commission, we also operate a monthly team bonus scheme that is shared equally across the business, including our highly valued Delivery Consultants. It is a reflection of the collaborative culture we have built at Birchrose and the belief that success is something achieved together.

Hear what our people have to say!

In late 2020, after seven years of working for Huntress (our sister company) where I managed the legal business support team, I made the move to Birchrose Associates. It has been great to not only be part of a specialist and knowledgeable team, but also to be part of a team who are fully supportive of each other and who have the hunger and motivation to succeed. Moving to Birchrose has given me the opportunity to join a business that is a true expert in its field and that challenges the stereotypes of legal recruitment. Whilst we work hard, we don’t take ourselves too seriously and always make sure that there is a fun working environment.

Gemma Eggleton - Principal Consultant

Having studied law for four years, obtaining an LLB, LPC and Masters, along with working as a Paralegal for two years, it was crucial when making the move into recruitment that I work for a company who has the same passion for the industry as I do. It has been so refreshing to be part of a team who all have such an enthusiasm for the legal sector and who are dedicated to going above and beyond to meet their candidates’ and clients’ needs, not to mention all while having fun along the way!

Emily Donnell - Senior Consultant

After completing my LLB, I realised a career in law itself wasn’t quite the right path for me, but my passion for the legal industry has always remained. After three years in recruitment, I joined Birchrose Associates to combine that passion with my professional expertise. What I love most about my job is the opportunity to be a true specialist, working closely with both candidates and clients to create long-term, meaningful matches. I’m surrounded by like-minded people who genuinely support and motivate one another, which makes it a really rewarding environment to be a part of. Birchrose allows me to work in a way that plays to my strengths.

Sophie Cogger - Principal Consultant

Birchrose Associates has been a standout place to develop my career in recruitment, having given me the opportunity to work with many of the globes leading law firms and some truly incredible candidates. The environment is fast-paced and high-performing, but never at the expense of support or team culture. Being part of a team that truly cares about what they do has been amazing and the knowledge that is shared amongst colleagues is truly invaluable.
