Recruiters who have done the job
Lionheart was founded by a civil engineer who got tired of recruiters who could not tell a drainage designer from a roads engineer. We speak your language, we understand the projects on your CV, and we are honest with you, even when the honest answer is "not yet".
That means better-matched roles, straight advice on your market value, and a recruiter who is still useful to you three years from now, not just at the point of a placement.
What you get from us
- Honest read on your market value
- Roles matched to your discipline, not a keyword
- Total confidentiality — nothing shared without consent
- Prep and context before every interview
- Straight advice on offers and counter-offers
- A recruiter who stays in your corner long-term
Not sure if now is the right time?
That is exactly when a confidential career review is most useful. No pressure, no obligation, just a clear read on where you stand.
