Talent Acquisition Specialist

We are conducting a search on behalf of Kiernan Trebach, a well-regarded litigation-focused law firm with offices along the East Coast. Reporting to the Director of Human Resources, they're looking for a TA Specialist who wants real ownership, not just calendar management. The incumbent will drive attorney recruiting end to end, run the summer associate program, and work closely with firm leadership. If you know law firm recruiting, and want a role where your work is visible and your contributions matter, we'd like to hear from you.

Location: Washington, DC

Schedule: 5 days a week in office

Travel: Occasional travel to East Coast offices

Salary: $75,000 – $95,000

Benefits: Health insurance included

Start: ASAP

What You'll Be Doing

• Running attorney recruiting from start to finish: sourcing, screening, coordinating interviews, and getting offers across the finish line
• Owning the summer associate program, from outreach and on-campus interviews through orientation and evaluations
• Serving as the day-to-day point of contact across a high volume of external search firm relationships , coordinate submissions, manage logistics, and keep multiple searches moving simultaneously
• Preparing offer letters and employment agreements and supporting compensation conversations within firm guidelines
• Shepherding new hires through onboarding so their first days go smoothly across all East Coast offices
• Partnering with marketing and leadership on hire announcements, lateral integrations, and employer branding
• Leveraging the ATS and recruiting data to track pipeline activity, measure search performance, and deliver accurate, timely reporting to the Director of Human Resources

What We're Looking For

• At least 2 years of full-cycle recruiting in a law firm including attorney recruiting
• Comfort with law school recruiting programs and/or lateral hiring
• Experience with an ATS
• Someone who can juggle multiple searches without dropping the ball - or the candidate
• Genuine discretion; you’ll be handling sensitive compensation and candidate information daily
• A communicator who makes candidates feel well cared for from first outreach through day one
• A self-starter who doesn’t need to be managed closely to get things done

The Process

We’ll start with an initial conversation. If there’s a fit, you’ll be invited to meet with senior firm leadership in person at the DC office.
