Have had multiple dealings with a number of La Fosse recruiters, really frustrating to deal with unprofessional agents who don't bother to respond to emails or calls. It takes time to finesse CV's and cover letters for potential new roles, the least I expect from a professional company updates on the progress with the application, moreover feedback from the client. Very disappointing.

I have been with La Fosse Associates for almost two months now. The level of support I have received in my role is the best of my working career - and I have worked with some excellent companies!
La Fosse has real vision, and the reputation for care is something which is not just an empty platitude. This is a real testament to everyone in the company.

I am a huge admirer of La Fosse Associates, I feel like I already know everyone at La fosse Associates, but..... I havent met anyone yet :)
I can tell through the management that this company is highly efficient and very transparent with clients and staff.. The attention towards staff at La Fosse Associates is just A1. When staff are motivated and happy at work, this increases productivity and performance. Which brings forth many great achievements. This leads staff to be more enthusiastic to come to work and to work. They say a happy wife a happy Life.. happy staff happy company... I know

I'm proud to be part of their Life Sciences division. The company culture and their values are absolutely incredible. They take good care of their clients, candidates and employees. Management really helped me to grow and develop my skills with an extensive personal development plan. I would highly recommend La Fosse if you want to surround yourself with true professionals to develop yourself.
