2. WELCOME TO LA FOSSE

3. After spending 20 years building a technology recruitment
firm and taking it to market, I took a step back and saw an
industry that, by and large, seemed to just treat people as
commodities. I believed that we could do better.
I always took the approach that it’s best to treat everyone
with care and respect: I found it made my job more
enjoyable and it always paid dividends. It’s one thing for
me to think it’s the right thing to do – but was it too
ridiculous to try and build a company around this very
simple idea?
So after much soul-searching and a deep breath, I
re-mortgaged the house, and went about finding out.
Fast-forward to today and we’re now a £100 million
operation with over 170 employees across the UK and the
US. We have also remained co-owned from day one, with
almost 40% of the equity gifted to all staff.
And together, we work each day to prove our shared
vision: that treating people well is not just the right thing
to do - it’s a better way to do business.

David Roberts
Director – Contract Recruitment
Molly Lamb
Managing Consultant
I joined La Fosse because they are an
ambitious company with a strong sense of
culture and values. These principles shine
through in our learning and development
programme, which is designed to align with
the fast-paced environment. The training
provided has been essential to my career
progression so far. What is really unique about
our approach, is that the training at La Fosse
goes beyond just the Learning and
Development team. I have access to every
employee, at every level, across the entire
company, from consultants to the CEO.
lafosse.com
I joined La Fosse in 2016 after spending six years
with a market-leading agency, initially in the UK
and then in Toronto. When I returned to the UK I
was ready for a new challenge. I was
approached by someone from La Fosse, and
could soon tell it was a company where my
career would progress at a rapid trajectory, and
I'd be working alongside the best in the industry.
Two years in and I couldn’t be happier with my
decision. We work in a completely autonomous
environment where our success is driven by
ambitious, hardworking and fun people.

7. STAFF TESTIMONIALS
Dominic Bosher
Senior Manager
Claudia Cohen
Head of Client Services
I joined La Fosse Associates as a graduate in
2012; what appealed to me was the training
programme, the wide range of opportunities
available, and the entrepreneurial spirit in a
successful and fast growing business. Within my
first year, I was promoted to full-billing
consultant, and was offered the opportunity to
join the Executive Search Team. After a
successful year, I moved into a managing role
within the Permanent Team and now, nearly five
years into joining La Fosse, I have grown my team
from 4 to 14, and am responsible for managing
the Permanent Division.
What I appreciate about La Fosse is our
dedication to maintaining a fantastic team
culture and enjoying what we do. From recent
grads, to team leaders, to management,
everyone genuinely cares about each other. We
consistently take part in group activities – from
annual ski trips to the Alps, to Halloween
parties, to the summer Rugby tournament. It’s
not just my opinion - the results of an annual
staff survey have seen us ranked as a Top 40
‘Best Company to Work For in the UK’ for 6
years running.

18. OUR CLIENTSSPONSORS AND PARTNERSHIPS
As a values-led business, CSR is embedded at the heart of our culture. As a result, we have an active and involved Community and
CSR programme, of which we commit to donating a minimum of 1% of profit annually. Some of our largest partnerships include:
SECRET LEADERS
PARTNERSHIP
As one of the UK’s top
business podcasts,
Secret Leaders features
interviews with key figures
from the UK tech and creative
ecosystem. From
entrepreneurs (both early
and late stage), to journalists
to VCs, (and even royalty!) the
series profiles those who
have helped shape the
nation’s culture of innovation
and growth.
Hosted by entrepreneurs and
founders, Dan Murray and
Rich Martell, the podcast was
created to help fellow
entrepreneurs learn from
each other, and normalise
some of the situations they
encounter in their day to day
to become better leaders.
CASE STUDY: PRO-BONO WORK FOR
AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL: HELPING
BUSINESS BECAUSE IT’S THE RIGHT
THING TO DO
Charities such as Amnesty International often struggle to
recruit top talent in the cyber-security space due to high
salary expectations that they cannot meet.
Despite this, these organisations are most in need of expert
cyber-security advice: they collect both personal and financial
information, process payments, and are often coming up
against potentially harmful factions in their work, making
them an easy target for hackers.
After forming a good relationship with Amnesty, we were keen
to help. We approached top professionals in our cyber-security
network to ask if they would be interested in supporting
Amnesty International on a consultative basis for a few days
per quarter. Neither La Fosse nor the cyber-security experts
involved gain any monetary remuneration for this work.
Off the back of the success of our initial partnership with
Amnesty, we are now setting up a self-perpetuating structure,
whereby each charity we engage with goes on to recommend
five others who they think could benefit most from our help.
OPERA SPONSORSHIP
OPERA is the first Global
Youth Employment Foundation, which
supports 71 million young people currently
facing unemployment to find, gain and
stay in work. 86% of those who engage
with OPERA go on to stay in work. Our
founder, Simon La Fosse, has been a
board-member and trustee of the
organisation since near its inception.
We also support:
BEAM SPONSORSHIP
We proudly sponsor BEAM, a London-based
social-impact organisation, funding
employment training for individuals who are
homeless or at risk of being so. Beam,
recommended to the individuals by a charity,
helps them to raise the funds necessary to
gain vocational degrees and qualifications in
industries such as construction, hospitality
and teaching, enabling them to leave
homelessness behind for good.
