"LS International was recommended to me when I had a crucial hiring need for a senior German executive. As soon as I reached out to them time seemed to speed up! They quickly sought to really understand what my needs were produced an excellent and diverse candidate pool whom they had vetted. The shortlist I interviewed were all impressive. Most importantly though the hire we made has not only proven an excellent fit, he is making a prodigious impact both commercially and organisationally."

"Lauren is very approachable, open and progressive, and I was well impressed with the agility she has demonstrated to cope with different change in the process. It was refreshing and helpful to get access to the video interviews she makes available. I like how she uses Linkedln and podcast to keep talent engaged as well as potential clients.

Being a boutique executive search firm means that we have around 50 opportunities a year. Unfortunately we may not always have the right match at the time you are looking, but that doesn’t mean we cannot help.

We have designed a tailor-made service specifically to fit your needs.
“LS International is currently launching a new program for candidates which I can deeply recommend. It supports the individual in self-understanding and finding success. Super insightful training. Thanks for this. I also know Lauren from her great support in the interview process which she manages really professional.”

Executive Career Consulting
After interviewing thousands of executive candidates, we have realized that the executive search service is leaving out candidates which do not immediately fit with an open position. We understand that our business is finding “A needle in a haystack” but we also want to support those executives who do not fit with one of our open roles.
This is why we have built a career consultancy service that is tailor-made for you. Whether that is staying in corporate, starting your own business, or changing careers.
