LT TALENT — SPECIALIST RECRUITMENT PARTNER FOR BEAUTY, WELLNESS & PERSONAL CARE
We work exclusively in Beauty, Wellness & Personal Care - not just as specialists, but as genuine believers in what this industry creates. When you brief us, our network becomes yours.
Brief us today. You'll have a shortlist within 48 hours.
And we'll still be here six months after the hire - because that's when it matters most.
Let's Talk98% of our placements remain in their roles after 12 months. That's not a metric - that's proof of the right hire.
Good people finding great people.
We're Dan and Helen Knagg. Husband and wife. And the only two people you'll ever deal with at LT Talent. When we say this business is personal, we mean it completely - every placement carries our name, our reputation, and frankly our relationship. There's no hiding behind a team. No junior to pass the awkward call to. Just us.
We know what it feels like to sit on the other side of recruitment. To feel the real cost of a hire that didn't work out - on your team, your culture, your time. To be sent candidates who weren't right and told they were. And to have every recruiter swear their person is the best - while you're quietly wondering who you can actually trust.

Good recruiters are everywhere. Industry specialists aren't.
Beauty, Wellness and Personal Care moves at its own pace. Driven by innovation, consumer passion and the kind of founder energy that doesn't sit still. New launches happen constantly. Trends shift overnight. The regulatory landscape evolves. And the brands that win aren't just the ones with the best products - they're the ones with the right people around them.
That's not something a generalist recruiter can navigate. They don't know who's ready to move, who's doing the best work in supply chain to make sure supply is always there, which marketing directors have genuinely built a brand from the ground up, which sales leaders understand the difference between B2B and D2C - and how to win in both, or where the real creative talent sits. They're guessing. We're not.
In a industry built on passion, you need a recruitment partner who shares it.
What this means for your hiring
Passion-driven talent doesn't advertise itself.
The best people in this industry care deeply about where they go next. They move through trust and recommendation - not job boards. That's exactly how we find them.
We recruit for character, not just credentials.
Someone who will thrive in your specific environment - who understands the pace, the passion and the purpose behind what you're building. Not just a name that fits a job description.
The wrong hire costs more than the fee.
In a industry this close-knit, a poor hire affects your team, your culture and your reputation. Getting it right the first time isn't just preferable - it's everything.
You always deal with a founder.
Not a junior. Not an account manager. Dan or Helen - or both - from the first conversation to the day your hire starts. And beyond.
Our name is on every placement. Both of them.
We're a husband-and-wife team. Our reputation - personal and professional - is on the line with every single hire. That's not a policy. It's just how it works when your business is your name.
We'll tell you the truth, always.
If the brief needs work, we'll say so. If the salary won't attract the right person, we'll tell you. Honest conversations upfront save everyone time, money and disappointment.
One industry. Completely.
Beauty, Wellness and Personal Care. Not a niche within a broader offering. This is all we do - and it changes everything about the quality of candidates we can reach.
No commission culture. Every director is an equal shareholder. No inflated fees to cover commissions. No bias towards a quick placement. Just honest advice, always in your best interests.
Flexible by design. As a founder-led family business, we have no red tape and no rigid structures. We build the solution around what you need - not what suits us.
12-week guarantee. If a candidate leaves within 12 weeks, we find a replacement or credit your fee. We stand behind every placement.

🙋 Outside work
As a founder-led family business, we have something most recruitment firms don't: genuine flexibility. No red tape. No approval chains. No model forced on you because it suits us. We work with you to find the right structure for your search - whether that's one of the options below, or something we build together from scratch.
Our most popular model. You only pay when we deliver - a competitive percentage of the candidate's basic annual salary. Zero upfront cost. High commitment from us. Low risk for you.
For senior hires, exclusive mandates, or roles that need dedicated attention. An upfront retainer is agreed at the start - fully deducted from the final fee when we place your hire. Transparent, predictable, and designed for searches where getting it right matters most.
Need experienced talent without the full-time commitment? We place proven industry professionals on a part-time or project basis - two to three days a week, or for a defined period. Same quality of candidate, built around your needs.
For businesses with ongoing or multiple hiring needs. A fixed monthly fee gives you consistent access to our network and recruitment support - ideal for scale-ups growing quickly and hiring regularly. Predictable spend, no surprises.
When you need the right person for a defined period - maternity cover, a seasonal peak, a specific project. We find them, manage the process, and support transition or extension when the contract ends.
Got something that doesn't fit neatly into any of the above? Good. That's where we do some of our best work. We'll build a solution around your exact challenge - whatever that looks like.
Something no other recruiter offers
LT Talent is more than a recruitment firm - we're part of the Beauty, Wellness and Personal Care community. Our 40,000+ LinkedIn following isn't just an audience. It's a network of people who chose this industry because they love it - founders, specialists, creators and leaders who care about what this industry builds.
When you work with us, we champion the brands we genuinely believe in. Through organic content, product features and brand spotlights, we share your story with an engaged audience who already love this industry.
No extra charge. No separate contract.
Just a genuine partnership - included.
We work exclusively with ambitious founders and growth-focused businesses at every stage - from startups to established global brands.
"They understood our industry in a way most recruiters simply don't. Fast, professional, and they genuinely cared about the right fit."
"Founder-led approach meant they asked the right questions. No time wasted. Delivered quality candidates in days, not weeks."
"They stood behind their placements. When someone didn't work out, they replaced them immediately. That's rare."
"No commission bias meant honest advice. They told us when we needed to adjust our expectations."
"Fast turnaround, quality candidates, and they managed the entire process. We could focus on our business."
"Professional from start to finish. They delivered someone who's still crushing it 18 months later."
You pay only when we deliver. You deal with a founder. We're still here six months after the hire.
