Recruitment Agencies

LCP operates a Preferred Supplier List (PSL) for recruitment agencies, which is reviewed annually. We do not accept unsolicited CVs or candidate profiles from agencies who are not part of our current PSL. LCP only pay agency fees where we have a signed agreement in place, and the agency has been instructed by a member of our recruitment team to supply CVs via the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) for a legitimate, open vacancy. If this process is not adhered to, LCP reserve the right to.
