Let's Talk

WHO WE ARE

Good people finding great people.

We're Dan and Helen Knagg. Partners, and the only two people you'll ever deal with here. Every placement carries our name and our reputation. No hiding behind a team. No junior to pass the awkward call to. Just us.

We know how it feels on the other side of recruitment. To be sent candidates who weren't right and told they were. To have every recruiter swear their person is the best, while you quietly wonder who you can actually trust.

"This is why LT Talent exists. We only put a candidate in front of you when we'd hire them ourselves. That's the difference."

LT Talent stands for Let's Talk Talent. Because that's where every great hire starts - with a conversation.

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: purpose-built for modern hiring - human-led, AI-powered, and proven to deliver the talent that makes the difference, every time.

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

✕The strongest candidates no longer trust traditional application processes

→

✓The best talent needs a real conversation to consider a move, not an application form - and they'll take ours

✕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

✕Recruiters who say yes to every role - so when something urgent lands, your brief gets pushed back

→

✓When you brief us, our network, connections, systems and platforms become yours

✕Brand reputation can be damaged by generalists who don't understand the industry

→

✓We're more than recruitment - we're specialists and industry enthusiasts who tell your story and represent your brand

✕You brief a senior recruiter, then a junior you've never met runs the search

→

✓A founder every time - Helen, Dan or both. Never a junior, never a handoff

✕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

✕Once the invoice is paid, most recruiters disappear until the next vacancy

→

✓We're still here for advice, market insight or just a voice of reason long after the hire - this isn't just a business for us, it's our lives, and we love it

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

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

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.

Contingency

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.

Retained

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.

Fractional

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.

Subscription

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.

Fixed-Term Contract

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.

Bespoke

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

We don't just fill your roles.
We tell your story.
