During my first month at Leadenhall, my days were structured to ensure a smooth onboarding experience. Each morning, I started with a productive 1:1 meeting with my manager to set daily and weekly tasks, as well as establish clear goals and expectations for the upcoming week. I appreciated the opportunity to dive into work immediately.
I also had the privilege of learning from account managers responsible for various clients, where they shared client insights and candidate requirements, allowing me to begin sourcing candidates promptly. The initial two weeks were particularly enriching, with comprehensive training sessions across different teams, covering essential aspects of recruitment, such as; candidate sourcing techniques, qualification calls, interview preparation, and deal closing strategies.
Moreover, I had the chance to observe client and candidate calls from various colleagues of mine, providing valuable insights into our expectations and enabling me to become effective in my own role.
Muskaan Tolani, Associate Consultant
I love the variety and the autonomy that the job offers. You are trusted to build out your own network and pipeline of candidates without having KPIs to meet, and you get out what you put in. I enjoy the fact I am constantly talking to new people and no two days are the same!

Michael Brown, Director of Operational Consulting
Leadenhall has given me the space to be able to bring on business early in my career and open up new areas. This has meant that I have been able to mould my career to how I want. It is an entrepreneurial environment which is exciting and fast pace and continues to challenge me.
Charlotte Steel, Associate Director
We are a hybrid workplace, which means we work in our London Bridge office together 3 days a week, and remotely twice a week. This model allows for greater flexibility, variation and work-life balance. When working from home, you will still have support and a strong line of contact to your team and manager.
