Axis Solicitors is a full-service UK law firm delivering legal expertise across family law, employment law, immigration, litigation, and personal injury. With continuous growth across multiple branch locations, Axis requires a steady pipeline of qualified solicitors who can handle sensitive cases, manage complex workloads, and maintain professional compliance standards.
Recruiting for the legal sector is notoriously demanding. Roles require:
Precise experience in specific practice areas
Up-to-date legal knowledge and SRA-compliant experience
Strong client-facing communication skills
Ability to start quickly to manage rising caseloads
This makes the market highly competitive, and traditional recruitment agencies often charge £5,000–£10,000+ per placement, creating a significant financial barrier for firms with multiple vacancies.
Before working with ecruit, Axis Solicitors struggled with several common sector challenges:
Many candidates did not meet SRA, PQE, or practice-area requirements.
Hiring multiple solicitors through agencies was becoming financially unsustainable.
HR and marketing teams were spending excessive time reviewing irrelevant applications.
Some roles attracted only a handful of suitable applicants despite high urgency.
Axis needed a recruitment solution that could:
Increase the volume of relevant candidates
Improve quality
Reduce cost-per-hire
Provide structure and support during high-volume recruitment periods
To solve these challenges, Axis Solicitors selected a combination of ecruit services:
For roles that required rapid hiring and precision targeting, combining job advertising with proactive headhunting.
To uncover passive legal professionals with exact practice-area experience and the right PQE level.
To reach a broader active candidate market with multi-board job advertising and LinkedIn Premium visibility.
This blended approach meant Axis Solicitors could target:
Active jobseekers (legal professionals browsing job boards)
Passive candidates (experienced solicitors open to a move but not actively applying)
The result: a stronger, deeper, and more relevant talent pipeline across every practice area.

Recruitment throughput significantly improved across departments.
A single legal placement often costs £5k–£10k through agencies — ecruit replaced that with fixed, low-cost campaigns.
Better quality. Better fit. More aligned experience.
The ecruit portal and pre-screening process reduced manual filtering drastically.
For each advertised role, Axis reported strong applicant flow and easy visibility of the best candidates.
The firm credited their success to ecruit’s supportive service, responsive communication, and easy-to-use hiring platform.
