Matt at LP helped us hire a really niche Cyber role - he is one of the best agents I've worked due to his ability to build true partnerships with transparent and honest communication.
He also worked exceptionally hard to help us hire not just the right but the best person for the role and I was beyond impressed with the talent he produced in a challenging market.
I would highly recommend working with Matt for any Cyber hiring requirements!

Rebecca Herbert and the Lanson team have delivered exceptional service and candidates.
The effort Lanson Partners put in upfront to understand our company, the team and the role has really stood out.
To date we have been provided with great well qualified candidates which has saved us precious time and money navigating the stream of applicants.
I would highly recommend Rebecca and Lanson Partners as a recruitment option.
