Pros
Having worked here over a year I thought it time to leave an honest review about La Fosse. I've never experienced a culture like this - despite growing so rapidly, they do everything possible to retain the family-like, collegiate culture.
To be a step-change in the recruitment industry as they are is refreshing, and it makes you believe in what you are doing. As a consultant, you are often met with sighs of disdain of recruiters, but everyone I come in contact with has had a positive experience of La Fosse (that I know of!).
I'm looking forward to growing with La Fosse, and am grateful for the opportunity they give and that I can take from them.Cons
No cons from La Fosse - you get out what you put in...
Advice to Management
Keep growing and keep the culture!

-Long hours but this is industry standard
Advice to Management
It would be beneficial for the business to have the separate departments more aligned and working together across verticle, and accounts. This is something that is changing, however.

Pros
La Fosse is a very unique place to work. They manage the balance of enabling their people to work hard and maintain a healthy life balance / job fulfillment to an expert level. The awards for best companies to work for are spot on, they offer very competitive remuneration packages and excellent career progression. They have a flat management structure and everyone is open and transparent.
Cons
LFA are growing so quickly and work in a fail fast type of environment. Sometimes we can make mistakes (which is no bad thing at all) but sometimes we can waste time with these kinds of things.
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you are doing.

Pros
I joined La Fosse last September with no prior recruitment experience. The personal training with the L&D team and my manager in the first month gave me the confidence needed to get started.
The office atmosphere is relaxed and a far cry from the stereotypical corporate environment. The opportunity to progress is excellent.
Everyone is welcoming and there are lots of incentives and nights out to enjoy!Cons
There are not any negatives.

Pros
I have been at La Fosse for 2.5 years and have received great support and training throughout.
La Fosse Leeds and London both have supportive staff and management who are happy to help you reach your career goals in whichever route you decide to take.
For me, I decided to take a different route and went down a 180 role, and that decision has been supported by my manager and wider senior management.
Even though La Fosse has grown significantly over the past few years, I feel the company still maintains a supportive and values-driven approach.Cons
As with any recruitment company, the hours can be long, but that is just part and parcel of most recruitment roles, the more effort you put in the greater the results!

Thank you. Also good to be reminded about transparency. Very easy to forget to keep everyone informed but the more conscious of it we are the more likely we are to keep in top of it.
