Route1

We are Route1, the fastest growing legal recruitment platform in the UK. We are the future of legal recruitment, using technology to make hiring legal talent better. We are not a traditional agency, we are a marketplace solution ensuring efficiency, transparency and trust using a custom built platform. Three months after launch, we were voted the Thomson Reuters Legal Geek Marketplace of the Year. Empowering Candidates through Technology Route1 fundamentally challenges existing hiring dynamics. Candidates only see relevant jobs filtered using bespoke matching algorithms. Our candidates get direct job information and supporting details from employers: about the hiring team, its people and its work, provided by our content partner, Lexology. Candidates have all relevant information at the point of application. We put the candidate in control. Creating Efficiency for Employers Our Employer clients reach hundreds of suitably qualified Candidates in a keystroke, and receive a full suite of documentation upon application. We also provide Employers with data analytics to measure how our thousands of Candidates engage with their job descriptions and content. Improving speed to hire. A Fully GDPR-Compliant Recruitment Solution The GDPR will revolutionise recruitment. Our 200+ clients want to ensure that Candidate data is properly consented, collected and managed. Because Route1 puts the data subject – the Candidate – in control, we reduce GDPR compliance risk to zero. Employers know they have obtained data subject consent because they make the application. Candidates don't have to take cold calls anymore and we don't construct "legitimate interest"​ arguments to form the basis of our data compliance. Social Responsibility Finally, we place charitable giving at the heart of our process, giving £500 to War Child our charity partner and £500 to a charity of the successful Employer's choice. Using Route1, and recruitment budgets, to effect positive change.
