We’re creative, agile, experienced pros who are challenging businesses to create world-class experiences for their people.
The World of Work is changing, with the candidates of today looking for an experience rather than just a career. Therefore how we get, keep and grow our people must evolve too.
How do you personalise that experience so that you really explain what it means to work at your organisation?
A talent and organisational design consultancy based in London, we started in 2015 and it’s been an incredible journey ever since.
Our function is to make your organisation irresistible by unlocking your people potential, ensuring your organisation thrives at every level, along any time-frame.
We do this by using a consumer lens to understand your business strategy and your employees wants and needs. We then approach any challenges with a creative, pragmatic set of skills and tools.
Our promise is simple: We will stand with you, encouraging you to be brave, whilst still caring for you and your team. Together we will build an employee experience that delivers excellence from the first contact and through each stage of their journey with you.
We believe that mixing the practical with the playful and purpose with personality will deliver an exciting and useful consumer grade experience for your people; and we can support you from initial attraction and recruitment through to exit and beyond.
So if this sounds like an exciting challenge for your business then get in touch and start your journey of transformation now!
Let’s Talk Talent can build you consumer grade experiences across the colleague journey which made work life less ordinary.

I Respect people that tell me the truth, no matter how hard it is: We do pride ourselves in being kind. But being kind isn’t the same as being nice. Kindness sometimes means having difficult conversations, being open and sometimes painfully honest. We are a no-bullshit, transparent and collaborative organisation.
