About

EJR Recruitment was founded with a
clear and deliberate focus on specialist
recruitment within the Bar and wider legal services.

As the Bar continues to evolve, diversify, and increasingly refine its own areas of practice, EJR mirrors that same commitment to specialism by remaining purpose-built and entirely dedicated to recruitment.

By focusing solely on recruitment, EJR can provide a more considered, personal, and high-quality service to both clients and candidates. This approach ensures that our advice, search processes, and recommendations are always driven by deep sector knowledge and a genuine understanding of the profession, rather than being diluted by broader, full-service offerings or upselling of additional services.

At the heart of EJR is a commitment to long-term relationship building. We aim to develop trusted partnerships across chambers, law firms, and wider legal services, positioning ourselves as a reliable and informed point of contact within the market. In doing so, we seek not only to support immediate recruitment needs, but also to engage with and understand the next generation of talent, building meaningful connections with both established practitioners, support staff and emerging talent shaping the future of the Bar and law firms.

LINKEDIN

EJR was founded by Elliott who brings over 15 years’ experience in chambers and law firm recruitment, clerking and consultancy. He has previously spearheaded the development of bespoke recruitment and secondment services for chambers and law firms, helping clients attract and retain top-tier legal talent.

Renowned for his expertise in lateral moves, team transitions and high-level recruitment projects, Elliott is a trusted advisor to clients and candidates alike. His deep understanding of chambers' operations enables him to provide strategic guidance across everything from salary benchmarking and retention planning to innovative recruitment strategies that deliver long-term value.

Elliott is one of a select few professionals in the market to combine hands-on experience within barristers’ chambers, leadership of a specialist Bar-focused recruitment business, and expertise gained within a dedicated law firm recruitment consultancy. This unique blend of experience gives EJR a comprehensive understanding of the legal recruitment market, enabling the business to advise with insight, credibility and a deep appreciation of the challenges and opportunities facing both chambers and law firms.

Having worked directly within chambers, Elliott has first-hand insight into the operational and cultural dynamics that shape hiring decisions at the Bar. This is complemented by his experience leading a specialist Bar recruitment business, where he developed and delivered tailored recruitment strategies for chambers and legal organisations at all levels. Alongside this, his time within a dedicated law firm recruitment consultancy has further strengthened his understanding of broader legal market structures, candidate expectations, and strategic hiring across the profession.

This breadth of experience enables EJR to operate with a level of market understanding that is both practical and commercially grounded, while remaining highly specialist in its focus on the Bar and wider legal services sector.

In 2025, Elliott placed more barristers than any other individual recruiter at the Bar, a milestone that reflects both his market reach and the strength of his relationships across chambers. This achievement further cemented his reputation as a leading specialist in barristers' recruitment and reinforced his commitment to a focused, high-quality approach to legal talent acquisition.

The candidates he presented were consistently well-qualified and aligned with our expectations.

JAIME BROOKS
JAIME BROOKSPRACTICE DIRECTOR
"Elliott consistently delivers a seamless and highly responsive service, but his capabilities were particularly evident during the Employment Group move in March 2025. Coordinating the successful transition of 18 barristers and a Senior Practice Manager to 4–5 was no small undertaking, yet Elliott handled the process with precision, calmness, and exceptional attention to detail. The move was executed flawlessly and stands as a testament to his organisational skill and deep understanding of the legal recruitment landscape. I would highly recommend Elliott to anyone seeking a recruitment professional who combines expertise, dedication, and a genuinely supportive approach."
