At La Fosse, we’re an employee-owned talent solutions business specialising in tech, digital, and change, but people are always at the heart of what we do.

Our mission is to create a working world where talent is recognised for its value, not its background. We help businesses of all sizes solve people and growth challenges through recruitment, our academy, solutions, and executive search.

What makes us different? Everyone here has a stake in the business. Being employee-owned means we all have a voice, and we all share in our success – quite literally. Through our employee ownership model, everyone benefits financially from the value we create together, with profit-sharing and long-term wealth-building opportunities built in.

We’re ambitious, collaborative, and care about doing great work with great people. There’s real focus on learning, development, and building meaningful careers, in a culture that’s grounded, inclusive, and fun.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a proven market with warm client relationships, live opportunities and a strong track record already in place.

• Offer & Negotiation: Support clients and candidates from negotiating terms through to managing best package for candidates at offer stage.
• Compliance & CRM: Keep accurate records in Bullhorn and ensure alignment with GDPR, employment law, and internal standards.
• Market Expertise: Stay ahead of industry trends and share insights to support clients’ needs.
• Team Collaboration: Live our values of care, ambition, and humility, contributing to a high-performing, inclusive team culture.
