True specialists

We operate six specialist recruitment teams and develop our headhunters to be subject matter experts in their industries and heavily entrenched within their professional communities. Our dedicated focus and industry alignment is invaluable when fulfilling challenging search mandates and allows us to build and nurture an unparalleled network of candidate relationships. This 'knowledge led approach' ensures you are working with a team that really understands your business and the markets you work in.

Reputation

We’re proud of our track-record of delivery and count some of the world’s most prestigious brands among the firms we advocate for. Our reputation is of critical importance to us and the volume of candidates and new clients who approach us through word-of-mouth speaks volumes. Don't just take our word for it though... our client testimonials, case studies and candidate testimonials speak for themselves.

Our headhunting methodology

The uncompromising mission of our recruitment teams is to attract and attain the best possible candidate for any given position, not just the best of whom happens to be actively looking. Our team are trained in the traditional art of headhunting in order to ensure the full talent pool is captured when we take a brief into the market. Our approach guarantees access to passive candidates who are difficult to unearth with direct sourcing methods.

Collaboration

We work as a trusted extension of your own team, carrying your brand values into the market as we represent your organisation to prospective employees. We’re obsessive about building relationships that last and treasure the partnership we build with clients. This non-transactional approach to talent consulting allows us to add value at every turn of the recruitment process, with our collaboration rooted in genuine, personal and honest relationships.

Our research-led approach

The backbone of our business is razor-sharp research and this extensive market intelligence underpins all of our work. This insight is critical at all stages of the recruitment process, from initial role scoping through to offer stage. We are armed with the expertise that allows us to act as trusted counsel to both our clients and candidates.

Global capabilities

Few search firms of our boutique scale can lay claim to the international footprint that Lawson Chase has developed. We embrace the philosophy that 'talent knows no borders' and have successfully recruited in the UK, United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, China, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Kenya, Nigeria, Brazil, Australia, Austria, Germany, France, Switzerland, Spain and India to name a handful.

Diversity & Inclusion

We’re passionate about inclusion and the benefits that a diverse workforce can bring to our clients and strive to deliver diversity in candidate selection on all briefings, aiming for truly balanced shortlists that allow our clients to capture the 'diversity dividend'. We celebrate the uniqueness of individuals and champion a recruitment approach that inclusive, unbiased and fair.

Honesty & Candour

We have a straight-taking and no-nonsense approach to tackling search requirements and don't shy away from difficult conversations. As true business partners to our clients, we believe honesty is always the best policy. It is invaluable for our clients to understand the realities of the external market perception of their brands, teams and openings and we operate an open-book feedback approach to our relationships. This approach ensures we deliver on our promises and have a transparent relationship with all clients.
