Company
Beginnings
Founded amidst a difficult economic market where all sectors, including legal were experiencing a period of change; adjustments in the legal services industry were inevitable.
Recognising the impact this would have on legal jobs, careers in law and people’s futures, we realised there was a need for a legal recruitment business that actually wanted to make a difference.
One that was honest, impartial, modern and reliable; so Interlink Recruitment was formed in 2011.

We provide clients and candidates with expert and market-leading advice within the legal services profession.
We take time to understand our client’s legal recruitment and candidate’s legal career needs, and pride ourselves on our enthusiasm for the process involved.
Quality of delivery is fundamental to the way we work, not just placing a high quantity of candidates into legal jobs.
Nationwide
With offices in London and Manchester, our dedicated consultants offer a committed service to both law firms and candidates seeking law jobs throughout the UK.
