LT Talent - Beauty, Cosmetics, Wellness & Personal Care Recruitment

Hire people who understand your industry, the pace and your customers

Industry specialists. Founder mentality. Real results.

Beauty, cosmetics, wellness, and personal care hiring is different. The industry moves fast. It demands passion, a founder mentality, ambitious problem-solvers and people who move fast in chaos. Most recruiters don't get it. We do.

Let's Talk

WHO WE ARE

The right hire can change everything for a brand.
The wrong one can undo it.

We founded LT Talent on that belief β€” and it shapes everything we do.

We work exclusively in Beauty, Wellness and Personal Care. Not as a specialism within a broader offering. This is all we do. That focus means deeper relationships, better market knowledge, and access to people you won't find by posting a job ad.

The strongest candidates in this industry aren't looking. They're doing the job β€” and doing it well. We know who they are because we've spent years building real relationships with them. Not a database. Not another random profile. People we know, trust, and can call today.

Every placement is backed by a 12-week guarantee. If it doesn't work out, we find a replacement at no cost. No fee unless you hire and they stay.

A percentage of every placement fee goes back to causes we believe in. It's part of how we operate.

Why this industry needs specialists

Traditional recruiters treat beauty and wellness like any other sector. They miss the nuance. They don't understand that your market moves at a different pace. New launches happen constantly. The best talent isn't sitting on job boards β€” they're embedded in the industry.

We've spent years building relationships in this space. We know the players. We understand what founders need. We know what drives high-performing teams in your sector.

No generalists. No one-size-fits-all approach. Just specialists who get it.

Candidates we work with

People who move fast and think like founders. Sector knowledge matters β€” beauty, cosmetics, wellness & personal care. We hire for mentality, not CVs. No generalists. No box-fillers.

How we work

Speed

  • Speed that matters

    2-day average for quality CVs to be shared. No lengthy processes. Founded on founder time β€” we get it.

  • Fully managed service

    From brief to offer, we manage everything. You get time back. No admin headaches. Every search is owned by a founder of the business.

  • Systems & Tools

    Our systems and tools give you access to candidates job adverts won't reach. We work networks others don't.

Depth

  • Sector depth, not generalism

    Beauty, wellness & personal care isn't always interchangeable with tech or FMCG etc. We know the difference β€” and it changes everything about who we place.

  • Pre-screened talent network

    Industry-experienced professionals ready to move. Fast results from people who already understand your sector.

  • Founder mentality built in

    We don't just find experienced candidates. We find people who think like founders β€” who'll question strategy and move fast in chaos.

Accountability

  • Guarantees that matter

    If a candidate leaves within 12 weeks, we find a replacement or credit your fee. We stand behind every placement.

  • No commission culture

    All recruiters are directors and equal shareholders. Zero commission removes bias and ensures honest advice.

  • Real retention proof

    98% of our placements still in role after 12 months. Not just placed. Placed right.
