About La Fosse Associates

La Fosse Associates (LFA) specialise in recruiting technology and digital talent from top to bottom. They operate on both a permanent, contract, interim and executive search basis.

Their mission is simple: to build an incredible company by treating people well.

The first piece of training a new-starter receives from their L&D team describes the business's mission, why the organisation was founded and their goal to change the industry. New starters then sit-down with the CEO for this to be communicate personally. Day-to-day, LFA communicate the importance of treating people well at every opportunity: in weekly emails asking for culture nominations, in the CEO's announcements of their awards and every Friday meeting.

L&D is crucial to LFA's culture, from day one of a new-starter's induction to their promotion to director and beyond. Employees receive a career roadmap, aligned to a promotion plan and build a personalised development programme with both personal and professional goals, referenced in weekly 1-2-1s.
