Executive search is where La Fosse began, and it remains at the heart of who we are.
Join a specialist, employee-owned practice with nearly two decades of heritage, a clear growth trajectory, and the platform to do your best work.
Where we've come from
La Fosse was founded in 2007 as an executive search firm, with a clear conviction that technology and transformation sits at the centre of every industry & vertical. That conviction has not changed.
Today, La Fosse Executive operates as the senior leadership arm of a £202m group, working with Private Equity backed funds, portfolio companies and enterprise clients to deliver the board and C-suite appointments that shape strategy, drive transformation and create long-term value. Our team is collaborative and highly specialised, with a track record that matches it accordingly.
The practice in numbers
Part of La Fosse Group
La Fosse Executive sits within a broader group that includes La Fosse Recruitment, La Fosse Academy and Inovus. This is not a holding company structure. It is an operational advantage.
Shared clients across a £202m group means multiple touchpoints with the same organisations. La Fosse Executive leads our group strategy by placing the executives that become the future consumers & economic buyers of the wider group services. Our model allows consultants to build more meaningful relationships with customers beyond the initial point of sale in executicve search, and play a meaningful role in the success of our placements beyond their start date. No standalone search firm can offer this breadth of relationship, and for our consultants, it creates cross-selling opportunities and revenue streams that are built into the model.
Transparent, performance-led earnings
Compensation at La Fosse Executive reflects the quality and scale of the mandates you deliver. Our structure is transparent and designed to reward the kind of sustained, high-value client relationships that define this practice. All earnings are tied directly to billings on a monthly basis, meaning no discretionary bonus elements and no annual review meeting disappointments.
The model is among the most competitive in the market, with ratchets at higher billing numbers and opportunities to supplement with wider La Fosse business revenue streams.
Meet the team
La Fosse Executive is led by a group of experienced partners and consultants with deep expertise in technology and transformation leadership. The team combines nearly two decades of track record with the collaborative, values-driven culture that defines La Fosse.
The executive community
Our consultants build communities, shape market dialogue and position themselves as visible authorities within their specialism. This is a core part of how we work and how we win mandates.
Employee ownership and what it means here
Since 2023, La Fosse has been fully employee-owned. The trust safeguards our independence and ensures that the value we create is shared directly with the people who create it.
Unlike many competitors, La Fosse is not PE-backed or listed. Being employee-owned means every improvement you deliver increases value for colleagues, not external investors. Success here is collective.
For the executive practice specifically, this matters because it aligns the long-term interests of the business with the people running it. There are no external shareholders driving short-term decisions, and the growth plan is shaped by the partners and consultants who are building it.
How we work together
Care
We care about people, and everything else follows. Trust, respect and genuine connection sit at the heart of how we work, both with each other and with the clients and candidates we serve.
Humility
We are always learning. Everyone has something to teach and something to learn, and we actively encourage curiosity, feedback and growth. In a practice where the mandates are complex and the stakes are high, intellectual honesty is a competitive advantage.
Ambition
We aim high. Our people push for excellence through pride in what they do and the outcomes they deliver, not through pressure. We want to be the best for our clients, for the business, and for ourselves.
