LHQ Recruit
We help organisations use LHQ Recruit to hire exceptional people — and help both see stronger for it.
LHQ Recruit is the leadership-certified human performance placement (LHQ). We work for organisations that care deeply about leadership, culture, and long-term impact — and for candidates who want more than who they are, not just what they do. We operate in a trusted referral network connected with select top-tier, value-based, and rigorously identifying clients. Our focus on values, trust, and intentionality sets us apart. When leadership and culture align, performance follows.
Our Approach
Who LHQ Recruit Is (and Isn't) For
✓ LHQ Recruit is for:
- Employers of choice — organisations that have strong leadership and culture attributes
- Leaders who want to hire well, not just quickly
- Workplaces where leadership is aligned, needs are right, and values meaningful matching
✕ LHQ Recruit is not for:
- Volume hiring or transactional recruitment
- "Fill the seat at any cost" environments
- Spray-and-pray approaches
Employers Of Choice Only
We partner with organisations that genuinely care about the best in culture.
Their teams are ready for workplaces with:
- Strong human leadership, not "performance at any cost"
- Clear, valued and definite role expectations
- Respect, inclusion, and accountabilities
- A genuine commitment to developing people
- A culture that people are proud to be part of
If you’re building a workplace where great people thrive, we want to hear from you.
“Integrity and impact into every room they enter.”
— The LHQ Standard
Exceptional Candidates Only
We represent people who are excellent at what they do
…and who bring curiosity, integrity, and impact into every room they enter.
- Highly capable, with a proven track record of outcomes
- Values-led and self-aware
- The kind of person others want to work with
- Committed to connecting and developing people
- Ready for a role that genuinely fits — not just the next move
If that’s you, we’ll match you on roles for strategic opportunities. No spam. No misalignment.
Our Purpose
What We Do
Building great teams and culture — not just filling roles.
Why are we different to conventional successful fills?
- Deliver leadership-ready hires with intentional placement
- Specialise to select quality — not volume — for genuine cultural fit
- Long-term quality over short-term needs
Our Difference
Leadership-Led Matching
Every role and every candidate is assessed through a leadership/LHQ lens. That means we first input experience of who we understand — and then assess the behaviours that matter most. We look at how they show up, how they lead, their behavioural alignment and achievement there.
- Leadership Meeting Style — How they show up under pressure and in collaboration
- Culture Alignment — Deep values match, not surface-level fit
- Progression Track — Where they're going, not just where they've been
- Achievement There — Verifiable impact in roles that matter
Our Process
How It Works
A deliberate, leadership-led process from first conversation to final placement.
Discover
We start with a deep-dive into who you are — not just what you’ve done. We map your culture, leadership fingerprint, and true needs before any search begins.
Qualify
We assess candidates through our proprietary Leadership-Led framework — evaluating character, capability, and cultural alignment with rigour.
Select
Only candidates who genuinely fit are presented. We don’t give volume — we give certainty. Every introduction is a considered recommendation.
Facilitate
We guide the process from offer to onboarding, ensuring both sides start strong — and stay that way well beyond the placement.
Why Choose Us
Why LHQ Recruit
Recruiters don’t often tell you what staff they really want. They’re tied to their numbers.

- Long-term fit is our approach. We measure success in years, not placement fees.
- Leadership philosophy at the core — LHQ Recruit builds on the LeadershipHQ philosophy of Andrew, the sage Carey-Wright approach.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you recruit for all roles?
No. We’re selective and focus on where leadership, trust, and culture fit truly matter.
Do you advertise roles publicly?
Sometimes. Many searches are confidential or network-led.
Will you share my CV?
Never without your consent.
Can you help refine the role or leadership expectations?
Yes — this is one of our strengths.
How do you assess candidates beyond the CV?
We use a leadership-led, Topgrading-inspired approach — meaning we assess patterns of performance, leadership behaviour, values alignment, and real outcomes over time, not just interview performance. It helps reduce mis-hires and protect long-term fit.
Integrity First
Our Ethical Commitment
LHQ Recruit does not actively recruit from organisations where LeadershipHQ is delivering coaching or leadership programs. We believe great partnerships are built on trust, clarity, and long-term relationship — and we protect that at all times.
