You are a lawyer.
What are your options?

The added value of Steve Skills is the following: We are hyper-specialists, not generalists with a legal division. Our team consists of 98% legal professionals with experience as lawyers, in-house counsel, or independent legal consultants. As a result, we have an in-depth understanding of the legal market, legal business needs, and the challenges associated with them. We understand how teams operate within law firms and corporate legal departments, as well as what is expected from an independent legal consultant in the context of an assignment. What do we do as recruiters? We analyse your profile and answer your questions regarding market compensation levels, career opportunities, and long-term career planning. There are two ways in which we can support you: Reactive Recruitment You identify a vacancy that may be relevant to your profile. We provide a clear and honest assessment of whether the opportunity aligns with your experience, skills, and ambitions, and explain our reasoning. We may also suggest alternative opportunities that you may not have considered. We then present your profile to the client, highlighting the aspects that demonstrate your suitability for the position. We organise interviews and manage follow-up discussions throughout the process. It is often easier to share certain considerations with an intermediary than directly with the other party. We therefore act as a facilitator, helping both sides understand the factors that support or hinder progress in the recruitment process. We also assist with salary negotiations and provide guidance on career development and future opportunities. Proactive Approach The same philosophy applies to proactive introductions. We present your profile anonymously to our network. With your consent, your profile may also be published anonymously on our website, based on your expertise, experience, and objective criteria.

Some candidates apply directly because they know someone in the office or company. However, we do not advise this, and here is why: 1. We are your objective sparring partner We identify the matters that matter and provide accurate and direct feedback to both parties. Our sole objective is not 'placement,' but ensuring the right match. When both parties know each other, they tend to view things through colored glasses. Some matters are then not discussed or expressed, which can lead to disappointment later on. 2. We screen the broader market As mentioned, we like to look at whether there are other opportunities that might better align with your profile and requirements. 3. Free of charge and without filters Our service is completely free of charge for candidates. We negotiate for your profile, without any filters.

We only share your data with your explicit consent, and only with offices or companies that you approve in advance. Naturally, we operate in compliance with the GDPR: you can request at any time which data we hold about you and have everything deleted. Confidentiality is the cornerstone of our business. Every form of contact remains 100% confidential, whether it leads to a next step or not. Read our privacy policy: /en/privacy

These are indeed candidates who have been screened by our consultants and are open to new opportunities. By posting these profiles on our page objectively, anonymously, and unrecognizably, we generate interest from firms and companies with needs that have not yet been translated into a vacancy. Are you ready for a career switch and do you want to maximize your chances by generating extra interest? If there is interest, we will only share your profile with the firm or company in question after your agreement. Contact our consultants for a discussion.

Because the right opportunity rarely appears exactly when it suits you. We build relationships with attorneys who may only move in two years, and then we want to be the first to call with something that truly fits. One conversation, getting to know each other, salary benchmark, market information you will not find elsewhere. No pressure. We stay in touch every year — think of it as a dental check-up.
