La Fosse Associates Reviews

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.

Advice to Management

Keep growing and keep the culture!

Pros

- Excellent chance for progression, you can really make the job what you want
- Great team environment
- Fantastic commission
- Very supportive management

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.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you are doing.

Pros

Other companies should look to La Fosse. Only then will they understand the true meaning of culture.
It's not work if your surrounded by your mates.

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!

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.

Pros

Great culture
Annual ski trip
Award winning training programme

Advice to Management

Would be better focusing on current employees development, instead of hiring more people

Pros

- Genuine appetite from the top down to improve the reputation of the recruitment industry through better working practices and offering a quality service to candidates and clients.

- Excellent training scheme and investment in their staff.

- Meritocracy backed up by strong incentives for success.

Pros

As soon as I joined La Fosse it has been a very big learning curve being my first foray into recruitment. Having been slightly skeptical of the whole industry I was taken aback by the level of sophistication and on-hand help to develop your career./skills.

On top of the dedicated training team, the employees, especially the senior management team, are approachable and more than happy to share their experience with even the newest members of the team.

From my understanding the remuneration and benefits are within the top percentile in the recruitment industry. For me this makes it exceptionally attractive to both work for the business and yourself.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work and maintain your current philosophies!

Pros

• Role accurately sold – was told at interview stage about an autonomous and collaborative environment with an onus on treating candidates and employees well. Both have turned out to be true.
• Successful strategy – teams set up with a strong offering in well-chosen markets, facilitating strong synergy and commercial opportunities.
• High-performance culture – some serious billers knocking around, but don't make a song and dance about it.

Advice to Management

• Maintain high-standards policy for future recruitment, especially when looking to rapidly grow.
