Placing the Talent of the Future

We understand that you may have requirements for commercially sensitive, senior, or high priority roles, where full market coverage is required - often on an international scale. You can trust LSP to ensure the highest possible calibre talent is identified, approached, attracted, and engaged delicately on your behalf from C-suite Executives to Specialist Engineers.

Benefits Of Retained Search

When there isn't a race against other agencies, more time can be taken to focus and find the highest quality candidates. From a Client perspective it also means one single point of contact rather than dealing with multiple recruiters all vying for attention.

Often the right person for your role is the one who is already happy in their existing position. LSP will approach the whole of the market leaving no stone un-turned, confidentially for your business to free up the perfect candidate

Clients can go into a high level of detail which are often very unique and be confident that a recruiter will go above and beyond to find the ideal applicant

A market map is generated of all relevant professionals working in similar companies and roles in the industry

“LSP have been supplying recruitment services to us since their inception in 2017.  I have personally worked with Adam Grainger (Managing Director of LSP) since 2010 and he has become a trusted and highly valued recruitment partner. Adam sets himself apart from other recruiters due to his in depth knowledge of the energy industry (and has an particularly extensive network in offshore wind), honest no nonsense feedback and quick response with relevant profiles. Furthermore, Adam has really taken the time to understand the our brand and introduce candidates that are a strong fit with our values / vison. Adam and the team at LSP have a strong track record of delivery and have placed over 100 staff and contract consultants with us within the past 3 years.  I have no hesitation in recommending hiring managers from our partners with LSP to fulfil their recruitment needs.”
