Whether engaging with clients, candidates or peers, La Fosse Associates operates on the premise that a caring, respectful and collaborative culture is not only to be encouraged but expected. It offers executive search and recruitment services, partnering with businesses to help scale their teams from the board down.
With a team of 120 specialist consultants working across three offices in the UK and United States, La Fosse recruits top talent on a permanent, contract and interim basis, spanning from the C-suite and executive positions to middle management and technical roles.
The combination of a top-to-bottom service portfolio, specialist expertise and international network means that it is well positioned to support clients at every level and at every stage of their journey. La Fosse has a proven track record, with a portfolio of clients encompassing start-ups, firms backed by private equity and venture capital, private companies and listed multinationals.
It was founded by Simon La Fosse on the simple principle that treating people well is the right thing to do and a better way to conduct business. That idea is still at the heart of this mid-size operation.
Employee benefits include a company pension, childcare vouchers, gym membership, wellness support, private health discounts and – Covid-19 restrictions permitting – an annual ski trip. It likes to promote from within and 64% of the managers were promoted to their positions from another role at La Fosse.
My manager cares about how satisfied I am in my job
Managers at all levels receive 360-degree feedback from peers, subordinates and their bosses, which drives personal development plans and individual training programmes. Fortnightly surveys monitor what staff think about areas such as personal growth, wellness and their relationships with peers and managers.
This job is good for my own personal growth
The firm's training schedule continued as normal in 2020, albeit remotely. Additional training was introduced in response to the pressures brought about by the pandemic, such as support for managers on staying productive and resilient, managing teams and ensuring continued success, as well as individual coaching sessions.
I feel I receive fair pay for the responsibilities I have in my job
Simon La Fosse founded the company in 2007 believing that a sense of ownership encourages pride in the workforce. This principle abides and all employees receive share options in the business, with 40% overall equity dedicated to its staff. Additional shares are offered as incentives.
