What industries do you cover?
LRA search works across all industry sectors. Our clients range from well-known household names in property, finance, tech, and executive search, to fashion houses and creative agencies. We also recruit for family offices and private and domestic settings. What connects it all, is our expertise and reputation for recruiting high-calibre office support staff.
As a client what can I expect from you?
Our purpose is to make the recruitment process as smooth and as positive as possible for our clients. From the outset, you can expect to work with a dedicated consultant committed to understanding the needs of your unique search. From taking the initial brief and crafting the perfect job specification, through to managing the interview process and offer stage, your consultant will guide you on the best way to make the search a success.
Their market knowledge and extensive candidate network will help you gain a competitive edge and will ensure you have a tailor-made shortlist of candidates to choose from quickly. We interview all our candidates – without exception – so all the introductions that we make are carefully considered. We know that no two businesses are the same, so getting to know your business is vital and allows us to champion your employer brand. That’s why we want to meet you face-to-face, and, where possible, conduct an initial in-person meeting at your office to ensure that we have truly understood your company’s culture and requirements. We want to be the agency you think of first went it comes to finding the perfect hire.
As a candidate what can I expect from you?
We are firm believers that a company’s greatest asset is its people, and we want to help you take that exciting next step in your career and find somewhere that feels right for you. You can expect a personalised and considered approach from us: a 1:1 interview when you register, an invested and experienced consultant committed to your search, CV advice, relevant market knowledge, help with interview preparation, and anything else that you might need whilst we support you in finding your next role. We want to be the agency you think of first when it comes to finding the perfect job.
How much does it cost?
If you’re a candidate ..absolutely nothing! Our service is free of charge.
For our clients, we work on a contingency basis. So, our service is free of charge until we find you the perfect candidate. At that point, our permanent and contract fee is a one-off charge based on the candidate’s annual salary. For our temporary candidates, you will be charged an hourly rate.
