EMPLOYEE REVIEWS
Working at We Are Revolution has honestly been one of the best career decisions I’ve made.
I joined with a sales background, but I wasn’t an experienced legal recruiter. From very early on, I was given the training, tools, support and opportunity to build something properly. The desk is genuinely warm, the roles are live, the candidate flow is strong, and the systems behind the business make a huge difference.
What I really like is that the opportunity here is real. If you are ambitious, consistent and willing to buy into the process, you can do extremely well. I have been able to grow my career, increase my earnings, build a team and move into a leadership role far quicker than I ever expected.
The business is fast-paced and performance-driven, but in a way that pushes you to get better. There is a lot of structure, accountability and support, and you are surrounded by people who genuinely want to win.
For me, We Are Revolution has been life-changing both professionally and financially. It is a brilliant place for someone who is ambitious, resilient and wants to build a serious long-term career in recruitment.

Working at Legal Revolution has been life changing! In my 22 yearlong professional career, never have I worked for a place where I was rewarded proportionately to the efforts Ive put in.
In 18 months, I have had promotions, 4 salary increases and earn 2 x more than any of my previous roles any other company. The secret is simple, work the hours, do the volumes expected, and work on improving the quality of your interactions daily.
As the Business Development Director for the firm, my role is to generate new business and manage a team to ensure their efforts and results are maximized. We get all the tools need to succeed. Daily training ensures that we are equipped with industry knowledge, knowhow and are constantly equipped to succeed in this lucrative market. Do we work hard and long hours? Absolutely. The efforts and results are appreciated and rewarded.
As a business development team, we are in position where we receive client leads daily, we have the use of tech supplied data and the leverage of 1500 candidate leads and 200 candidate interviews weekly that we can use as a differentiating factor in our conversations with clients.
Our endeavors to be the top legal recruitment agency in the USA market drives us all to excellence, and if you want to be part of a top performing machine, this is the place for you!

I worked at We Are Revolution for 3 months and overall had a positive experience. The company has a very structured and fast-paced environment, but also one that feels supportive and focused on development.
One of the biggest positives is the training. From the start, there is a strong emphasis on learning the fundamentals properly, with daily coaching on sales techniques, recruitment processes, and business development. A lot of time is spent doing role plays and live practice scenarios, which really helps build confidence when speaking with candidates and clients.
Another thing I appreciated was that experience in recruitment isn’t essential. Whether you’re new to the industry or have come from a different background, the training is designed to bring you up to speed quickly. It’s very much suited to people who are motivated, goal-driven, and willing to put in consistent effort.
The company also uses modern systems, including Salesforce, along with other up-to-date tools to support consultants in managing their pipeline and activity effectively.
The working hours are clearly explained from the beginning and reinforced throughout the process, so expectations are set early on. The structure is built around US markets, so the day is longer than a typical office role, but this is communicated honestly before you join, which I think is important.
For people who are focused on earning potential, the opportunity is strong. The commission structure is around 15–20% with no threshold, meaning you can start earning from your first deal. Given the US legal market and deal sizes, there is real potential for high earnings if you are consistent and perform well. It’s an environment that rewards effort and persistence.
The team culture is ambitious but generally supportive, with a strong focus on accountability, improvement, and hitting targets.
The role is demanding, both mentally and physically. The pace is consistent throughout the day and it can feel like you are “on the go” for most of it. The working day runs from 10:00am–7:00pm, with a 30 minute break and a shorter break during the day, followed by an additional 1 hour 15 minutes of evening calling for US markets.
Because of this structure, weekday downtime is limited, and most personal time tends to fall on weekends. While this is clearly communicated upfront, it can feel tiring at times due to the intensity and consistency required.
Although the role is demanding, management are human, supportive and happy to help where needed to help anyone succeed as your success is everyone's success.

I worked at Legal Revolution from June 2024 until August 2025. While the work was demanding, I learned an exceptional amount during my time there and gained valuable experience within the legal recruitment market. Even though I have been in recruitment since 2003, I truly appreciated the strong systems, processes, and superb training that were in place, which allowed me to continue developing and performing at a high level.
I found the role incredibly rewarding, both financially and personally, and was extremely successful in helping candidates secure opportunities that aligned with their career goals, while also supporting clients in finding exceptional attorneys for their firms.
I left purely due to a health issue, and I genuinely appreciated my time working with Matt, the CEO, and Wai-San, my Manager at Legal Revolution. I valued the culture, support, and opportunities provided during my time with the business.
After taking time away, I was excited to return and started working with the team again about a month ago. Coming back has reinforced how much I value the company’s approach, systems, training, and the opportunity to be part of a high-performing recruitment environment. I’m grateful to be back and continuing to contribute to the team’s growth and success.

I've been with We Are Revolution for just over two years, and this is actually my second time with the business after a brief break. Coming back was an easy decision, and it has been an incredibly rewarding place to build my career.
The role is fast-paced, challenging, and demanding, but that's exactly what makes it enjoyable. Recruitment isn't an easy job, and there are certainly long hours and high expectations, but the feeling of making a placement and helping people achieve their goals never gets old. The incentives and rewards that come with success make the hard work worthwhile.
One of the biggest strengths of the business is the training and support. Whether you're new to recruitment or already have experience, there is a genuine commitment to helping people improve. We train as a company every day, and there is always someone willing to share knowledge, offer advice, or help you overcome a challenge. You're given the tools, resources, and guidance needed to perform at a high level.
The quality of the data, systems, and infrastructure also gives consultants every opportunity to succeed. Rather than spending your time trying to figure out where to find opportunities, you can focus on building relationships, delivering results, and growing your desk.
The earning potential is exceptional for those willing to put in the work, and success is genuinely recognised and rewarded. If you're looking for a career where effort directly impacts your earnings and progression, We Are Revolution is the right place to be.

Working at We Are Revolution in Internal Recruitment was honestly the best career move I've made.
The environment is very fast paced and every day is highly structured, which isn't for everyone, but for me it created huge opportunities for growth. I came from a completely different industry and was given the chance to learn an entirely new skill set. Looking back, I'm amazed at how much I developed in such a short space of time.
One of the biggest highlights was learning from Matthew. I genuinely learned more in six months working with him than I had throughout the rest of my career. His knowledge, standards, and approach to development pushed me to improve every day.
What I appreciated most about We Are Revolution is that you're encouraged to be the best version of yourself in your role. The expectations are high, but so is the support and investment in your development. If you're willing to work hard and embrace the challenge, you'll grow both personally and professionally.
I can confidently say this is the best company I've worked for and I'm grateful for everything I learned during my time there.
