Legal Recruiting Editing and Proofreading Services

Legal recruiting is writing in two directions at once. You are selling a firm to a candidate who has three other conversations running, and selling a candidate to a hiring partner who will form an opinion from one page. Both readers are trained to notice careless language, which makes recruiting documents an unusually unforgiving place to be sloppy.

We edit job postings and role descriptions, candidate submission summaries and cover notes, candidate CVs and biographies, firm and in-house employer profiles, compensation and offer letters, interview guides and evaluation forms, market reports and salary surveys, and recruiter outreach templates. Our editors make postings specific about the practice, the work, and the expectations — vague postings attract volume rather than fit — and tighten candidate summaries so the strongest evidence appears in the first three lines.

Outreach templates deserve attention because they are sent thousands of times. A single awkward sentence in a template does not fail once; it fails at scale, and the people receiving it edit for a living.

We treat candidate and client information as strictly confidential, including named searches. Where a candidate's own CV needs work, we improve how it reads without embellishing a single claim in it.
