About Thomas J. Henry Law
Thomas J. Henry Law is one of Texas’s most recognized personal injury trial firms — in practice since 1993, roughly 200 attorneys, and a statewide platform built on preparing every case as if it will go to trial. We are in the middle of an ambitious growth transformation: a formal PI Academy for attorney development, senior-lawyer-led practice pods, meritocratic advancement tiers, and a professional operating spine. We’re hiring a dedicated internal recruiting team to bring the best plaintiff attorney talent in Texas to that platform.
The Role
This is not a job-board-posting, resume-forwarding role. You are a hunter. Your job is to identify, engage, court, and close the attorneys who make our firm win at trial - from first-year associates to seasoned litigators with their own trial records, most of whom are currently employed and not actively looking. You’ll own a portfolio of Texas markets, build a living map of the attorney talent in them, and run a full-cycle pipeline from sourcing through offer acceptance and first-day landing.
What You’ll Do
- Build and maintain a proprietary map of plaintiff/PI attorney talent across your markets — trial experience, practice focus, tenure, and likely motivators.
- Proactively source and engage passive candidates through direct outreach, referrals, bar events, and local attorney groups — not by waiting on inbound applications.
- Own full-cycle recruiting: sourcing, first contact, screening, selling the opportunity, interview coordination, references and conflicts checks, offer support, close, and 30/60/90-day landing.
- Develop referral pipelines and build relationships with current TJH attorneys and law school alumni.
- Partner with practice-group and pod leaders to define role scorecards and calibrate candidate quality.
- Track pipeline health and report weekly on activity, funnel conversion, time-to-fill, offer-acceptance rate, and quality-of-hire.
- Represent the firm’s growth story — the Academy, the career path, the pod model — credibly to skeptical, high-performing candidates.
What You Bring
- JD from an accredited law school required, Texas Bar license preferred.
- 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience — ideally in legal, professional services, or high-volume sales/executive search. Legal recruiting or agency search experience is strongly preferred.
- A demonstrated track record of sourcing and closing passive candidates, not just processing inbound applicants.
- Fluency with modern ATS/CRM and sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed Smart Sourcing, Boolean sourcing, bar-directory research).
- Exceptional relationship, persuasion, and closing skills — you can hold your own with a senior litigator.
- High activity tolerance and a metric-driven, competitive mindset. You like a scoreboard. Willing to travel across Texas markets and work some evenings/events.
- Familiarity with the Texas legal market and PI practice a strong plus. Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus given our client base and markets.
Why This Role
- Uncapped incentive tied to placements and retention — your production drives your pay.
- You’re building the pipeline for a firm every Texas lawyer already knows, now it’s professionalizing its entire attorney experience.
- Real infrastructure behind you: a growth transformation with executive sponsorship, budget, and a defined operating model — not a lone-wolf assignment.

- Paid vacation, holidays, and leave
- 401(k) with 4% match (immediate vesting)

- Dental, vision, and supplemental insurance
