For Clients

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.

01

You're in the only industry we work in

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

02

This hire changes the trajectory

Not another name on the org chart. The kind of hire people point to a year later.

03

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.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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.

07

You're here for the long game

You'd rather build a relationship than run a tender every time you hire. So would we.

Tick most of these? Then we should be talking.
We only take on a handful of briefs at a time. When we're full, we say no - so the brands we do work with get all of us.

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.

Our Measure

We measure success by what happens six months after the hire - not the day the invoice lands.

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.

Dan Knagg Helen Knagg

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.

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 you can spread the cost of a placement to protect your cash flow.

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.
