Retention that proves results

98% of our placements remain in their roles after 12 months. That's not a metric - that's proof of the right hire.

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 at LT Talent. When we say this business is personal, we mean it completely - every placement carries our name and our reputation. 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.

"This is why LT Talent exists. We're founders who get it. The industry moves fast. It demands passion, a founder mentality and ambitious problem-solvers who can succeed in both the calm and the chaos. Most recruiters don't get it. We do."

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

WHY THIS INDUSTRY IS DIFFERENT.

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 aren't just the ones with the best products - they're the ones with the right people around them.

Generalist recruiters guess. We don't.

In an 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.

They move through trust and recommendation - not job boards. We know them. If we don't, we find them.

We recruit for character, not just credentials.

Anyone can find a CV. We find the talent 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 everything that matters.

Your team. Your culture. Your time. We make sure you don't pay that price.

LT TALENT AT A GLANCE.

Built on trust. Proven by retention.

💡

We know the impact of great talent. And we find the people who make the difference.

🤝

You'll always work with me or Helen - or both. Our name is on every placement, and so is our reputation.

🔍

The strongest talent isn't on job boards. We speak to our network and headhunt the right people for you.

💬

We'll tell you the truth, always. Honest advice, genuine accountability - and still here six months after the hire.

Founders and equal shareholders. No inflated fees. No commission bias. No red tape. Always in your best interests.

🎯

One industry. Completely. This is all we do - and it changes everything about the candidates we can reach.
