As one of the region’s longest established legal recruiters, we have built an enviable reputation as the industry trusted advisor when it comes to recruiting the specialist talent that drives the profession. For over 25 years, we have built long-lasting partnerships with national and international law firms, local firms and specialist boutiques, as well as in-house legal departments of major ASX corporates, private companies and government organisations.

August 2010 brought a new chapter of growth for our company in Australia and New Zealand with the name change of two of the industry’s most prominent legal recruitment brands, Hughes-Castell and Legal Eagles, to Randstad Legal. While always part of the Randstad global group of companies, our unrivalled industry knowledge, up-to-the-minute market intelligence and sophisticated professional approach have now been combined with enhanced resources — to make Randstad Legal uniquely qualified to deliver the best results for clients and jobseekers alike.
