about ALS

The missing connection.

With more than 200 years of recruitment experience between us, we know what we're talking about.

The ALS team, relaxed and laughing

what's the story?

Built by a recruiter who'd had enoughenough.

2011

Alex, our founder, breaks away from the traditional recruitment firms he had been working for. He was placing legal professionals and asked himself a simple question: why wasn't he getting in on the work-life balance, remote working, better pay, anti-KPI life he was selling to them?

Then

He built it. ALS became the go-to name in legal consultancy recruitment years before most agencies worked out what consultancies could do for lawyers. The team grew, and so did the specialisms.

Today

We recruit across 11 sectors, from legal and tech to biotech and iGaming, across the UK, Europe, the US and the UAE. Still fully remote. Still no nonsense.

on purpose

We like being different.

If you're after a bog-standard recruitment firm where profits and KPIs are king, you're on the wrong website.

Straight-talking

No jargon, no false promises. If the market says no, we'll tell you.

no spin

Remote since 2011

We were working from anywhere long before it was cool.
