About Lancelot

Independent since 2004. Human from the start.

Founded in Luxembourg by people from the software-development world, Lancelot understands technology in its business context. We recruit technical specialists, but also the transformation, operational and leadership profiles who turn technology into business outcomes.

Our principles

Clarity.
Integrity.
Openness.

Close enough to understand

Through our contractors, clients and candidates, we stay close to what is happening inside organisations, not simply to the external recruitment market. That is how we recognise nuance, challenge assumptions and give useful advice.

Honest enough to say it

Whether the issue is the brief, compensation, fit or process, candour is part of the service, not an uncomfortable extra.

The methodology

A controlled path from need to decision.

01

Outcome-led briefing

Define the work to be achieved, the evidence of success and the environment in which the person must operate.

02

Market mapping and direct approach

Understand the available market, identify passive talent and engage people with a relevant, informed proposition.

03

Structured assessment

Competency-based conversations, consistent evidence and, where useful, personality questionnaires and references.

04

Transparent steering

Regular market feedback, a commented longlist, an agreed shortlist and active management through to completion.

Twenty-plus years in recruitment has reinforced one idea: quality comes from the conversation before the CV.
