Let's Talk

Who We Partner With

WE DON'T SAY YES TO EVERY BRIEF.

We partner with a handful of brands at a time - so every search gets a founder's complete focus. Here's what makes us say yes.

Building something in our world

Beauty, Personal Care or Wellness - founder-led, VC/PE-backed, or scaling fast.

A hire that matters

Your next hire changes the trajectory - not just the headcount.

Speed with quality

A fast process once the right people are identified - not a race to send CVs that miss.

A brand worth protecting

Represented properly in a close-knit market - with discretion when a search shouldn't be public.

The founders, every time

You'd rather brief the people whose names are on the business - and keep them all the way through.

Honesty over flattery

You want the truth about your search, even when it's not what you hoped to hear.

A partner, not a supplier

You're building for the long term - and you'd want your recruitment partner doing the same.

Sound like your brand? Then you're exactly who we built this for.
When we're at capacity, we say no - so the brands we do work with get everything.

WHO WE ARE

Good people finding great people.

We're Dan and Helen Knagg. And we're the only people you'll ever deal with - from start to finish. Every role we take on carries our name - and our reputation. Which means you only see candidates we truly stand behind.

We've sat on your side of the table. We know what it's like to be sent the wrong candidates and told they were right. To hear every recruiter swear their person is "the one" - while you wonder who you can actually trust.

We remove that doubt.

"That's why LT Talent exists. If we wouldn't hire someone ourselves, you'll never see them. That's the difference."

No handoffs. No account managers. A founder works every role. A founder represents your brand. Every time.

The Recruitment You Deserve

WHY WE BUILT LT TALENT.

Most founders and senior leaders will tell you it's the people who make the biggest difference. Yet hiring is still overlooked - and it hasn't changed with the times.

That's exactly why Helen and I founded LT Talent: the recruitment experience we wished existed when we were the ones doing the hiring.

The challenge right now

How LT Talent solves it

✕Job adverts attract 100+ applications and almost none of them fit

→

✓Our exclusivity gives us a network of industry-proven talent that rarely appears on a job board

✕AI is writing CVs to match job descriptions - so they all look the same

→

✓We know the person behind the CV, not just what their AI wrote for them

✕Generic recruiters send the same shortlist to four other brands at the same time

→

✓We're purposely selective about how many roles we take on - so you always get our full attention and dedicated service

✕Recruiters who chase commission prioritise speed over quality

→

✓Zero commission model - we're founders and equal shareholders, so our only incentive is the right outcome for you

✕A hire that doesn't work out leaves you to absorb the cost and start over

→

✓Confidence in every placement - guarantees from 12 weeks up to 6 months, and we're still here after

How the best briefs work

The brands that get the most from us brief us exclusively.

One recruiter, fully accountable, with your brand represented by one trusted voice in a close-knit market. Exclusive briefs get our complete focus - and improved terms to match. It's how our best client relationships work, and why they last.

✓Full focus

✓One point of contact

✓Complete discretion

✓Total accountability

And every time, you also get

✓A risk-free model - review as many candidate profiles as you wish, with no obligation to commit

✓A fully managed service - we can be as involved as you want, from writing JDs to offer and onboarding

✓Speed without losing the personal touch - we use AI behind the scenes for admin and back office, so more of our time goes into actually finding people, not paperwork

Good recruiters are everywhere. Industry specialists aren't.

Beauty, Personal Care and Wellness moves at its own pace - innovation, consumer passion and founder energy that doesn't sit still. The brands that win are the ones with the right people around them. Generalist recruiters guess. We don't.

FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS BUILT AROUND YOU

No red tape, no model forced on you because it suits us. We shape the search around your business.

01Where most partnerships start

Contingency

Our most popular model. You only pay when we deliver. Zero upfront cost. High commitment from us. Low risk for you.

Retained

For senior hires and searches where getting it right matters most. An upfront retainer, fully deducted from the final fee - transparent and predictable.

Fractional

Proven industry talent without the full-time commitment - part-time or project-based, built around your needs.

Subscription

For scale-ups hiring regularly. A fixed monthly fee, consistent access to our network, predictable spend. No surprises.

Need something different - a fixed-term contract, a one-off project, something nobody's built yet? Good. That's where we do some of our best work.
