For Clients
LT Talent is a specialist recruitment partner for Beauty, Personal Care and Wellness. We work with founders, start-ups and high-growth brands - and every search is run personally by Dan or Helen, from the first conversation through to placement and well beyond it.
Junior to C-suite, across every function that makes these businesses work.
Not listed? Ask anyway - if it exists in this industry, we've probably placed it.
And why they stay.
37 years of combined recruitment experience between Dan and Helen - all of it in this industry.
DTC Haircare Brand
Built a new finance team in four weeks - Finance Director and Financial Controller, both hired.
DTC & Retail Brand (Own Manufacturing)
Scaling fast on Amazon and TikTok across the EU and US. Found an Amazon FBA specialist and a TikTok specialist - three people hired in two weeks.
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.
Dan Knagg
Co-Founder
Helen Knagg
Co-Founder
No handoffs. No account managers. A founder works every role. A founder represents your brand. Every time.
Who We're Built For
We partner with a handful of brands at a time - so every search gets a founder's complete focus. Here's who we do our best work for.
You're in the only industry we work in
Beauty, Personal Care and Wellness. Indie, founder-led, VC/PE-backed or scaling fast.
This hire changes the trajectory
Not another name on the org chart. The kind of hire people point to a year later.
You want speed that doesn't cost you quality
A fast process once the right people are found. Not a race to fill your inbox with CVs that miss.
Your brand deserves protecting
In a market this close-knit, how you're represented follows you. One voice, handled properly - and complete discretion when a search shouldn't be public.
You want the founders, not a stand-in
Dan or Helen on your search from first brief to final offer. That isn't an upgrade you pay for - it's the only way we work.
You'd rather hear the truth
If the brief is wrong, the salary is off or the candidate isn't right, you'll hear it from us first. Flattery just costs you months.
You're here for the long game
You'd rather build a relationship than run a tender every time you hire. So would we.
Sound like you? Then we should be talking.
We only take on a handful of briefs at a time, so every search gets our full attention.
The Recruitment You Deserve
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.
How the best briefs work
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.
And every time, you also get
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.
From brief to six months on - no mystery, no jargon.
The Brief
We sit down with you - properly. Not just the job spec, but the team, the culture, the commercial model and what success actually looks like in six months.
The Search
We headhunt through our network and relationships, not job boards. You deal directly with Dan or Helen throughout - never a junior, never a handoff.
The Shortlist
Within 72 hours you receive a shortlist of genuinely relevant, pre-screened candidates - with honest notes on each, including any gaps. We know the person behind the CV.
Interviews & Offer
We manage scheduling, feedback and offer negotiation - keeping the process fast so you don't lose the best people to competing offers.
After the Hire
We stay close. We check in through onboarding and beyond - because we measure success by whether your hire is thriving six months later.
No red tape, no model forced on you because it suits us. We shape the search around your business.
Think recruitment fees are too expensive? So did we.
Traditional agencies carry big overheads - offices, account managers, commission targets - and their fees pay for all of it. We stripped that out. What's left is two founders, their network, and a fee that reflects the work. No fee unless you hire, no hidden extras, and the fee can be split over monthly payments to protect your cash flow.
Our most popular model. You only pay when we deliver. Zero upfront cost. High commitment from us. Low risk for you.
For senior hires and searches where getting it right matters most. An upfront retainer, fully deducted from the final fee - transparent and predictable.
Proven industry talent without the full-time commitment - part-time or project-based, built around your needs.
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.
With every placement.
Andy's Man Club
Every successful hire does more than strengthen your team - it contributes to making a positive impact in the world. With every placement we make, we donate a percentage of our fee to Andy's Man Club.
Their mission, put simply, is to prevent other families from going through the heartache and grief caused by suicide, by encouraging men to speak openly about their issues.
