Job description

Who are we?

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.

As a Researcher, you will play a key role in supporting end‑to‑end executive search assignments, helping to identify, engage and attract exceptional leaders across the technology landscape and beyond. From day one, you will be trusted with meaningful responsibility and given the autonomy to take initiative, contribute ideas and help shape how we deliver outstanding results for our clients.
