Who are we?

La Fosse is an international talent solutions business across technology, digital, and change; our head office is in London, with additional teams based in Birmingham, Amsterdam and Dubai.

We partner with our customers to build solutions for their business and people challenges from classroom to boardroom, leveraging our recruitment, academy, solutions, and executive search offerings. We're not just about filling roles but about building diverse, high-performing teams. We help add short-term capacity while building long-term capability, filling immediate skills gaps, and, more importantly, solving future needs with outstanding, diverse talent.

Our vision is to create a world where talent is recognised regardless of background and 'lived' experience. We’re not just a business; we're a community. As an employee-owned company, with 51% of La Fosse owned by our workforce, we believe in the power of collective decision-making. This unique structure generates higher engagement, productivity, and innovation levels, giving our staff a real stake in our success. We want our employees to have a voice in how La Fosse is run and provide more opportunities for them to play a pivotal role in our growth. Most importantly, employee ownership will allow us to maintain our culture, ethos, and values as we continue to scale our business together.
