About us

MEET DAN & HELEN KNAGG.

Co-founders of LT Talent. Founder-led recruitment & executive search for start-up, high-growth and challenger brands in Beauty, Personal Care, Wellness & Nutrition.

WHY WE STARTED LT TALENT.

We're parents and partners, in life and in business, with over 35 years combined leading and building teams. We left bigger companies to build a smaller one, and started LT Talent in January 2025.

We've sat on your side of the table - hiring for our own teams, sifting CVs that didn't fit and wondering who to trust. We built LT Talent to remove that doubt: if we wouldn't hire someone ourselves, you won't see them.

LT Talent stands for Let's Talk Talent.
Every great hire starts with a conversation.

Dan or Helen takes your brief, runs the search and sees it through to offer. Nobody else.

Continuity.

The same person from the first conversation to six months after the hire. No handovers, no starting again.

Accountability.

Our name and our reputation are on every role, so we only take the ones we can do properly.
