Retention that proves results

WHO WE ARE

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.

"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 calm and chaos. Most recruiters don't get it. We do."

WHY THIS INDUSTRY IS DIFFERENT.

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.

BUILT ON TRUST.
PROVEN BY RETENTION.

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.
