Head Hunting Specialists
Executive Head-Hunting Specialists for Senior-Level Appointments within the Aesthetics, Wellness and Skincare Brand Partners.
We fully understand our market after decades within the industry. People trust us to be thorough with our search and selection, and to profile talent with the ambassadorial qualities your company requires.
THE ROLE
Finding the talent others can’t
We focus on finding top technical and niche talent for those already in employment, rather than general job hunting. These are the people who won’t be found on a job board, and reaching them is exactly what we do.
THE PROCESS
Discreet, direct, decisive
Our process involves direct access, discreet vetting, and managing high-level salary expectations. Every conversation is handled with confidentiality and professionalism from first approach to final appointment.
Meet the Founder
Angela Smith (BA HONS)
Founder and Director of La Source International Ltd.
Angela’s career spans 33 years within the Spa, Aesthetics and Wellness Industry.
After qualifying with a degree in Leisure Management from Coventry University, during which time she taught Step and Aerobics and still managed to find time to be a Bar Supervisor in the Students’ Union Bar, she trained as an advanced personal training instructor with the ACSM. Her first job was at Nirvana, the award-winning Spa, Fitness and Wellness Centre in Sindlesham near Wokingham. Angela had an ambition to become a manager very early on, and this was her first taste of that alongside being a personal trainer.
After this role she moved to Milton Keynes for a Duty Manager role with a corporate business. Another move followed, to Twickenham, where she began with the incredible fitness group Cannons at their Twickenham branch, which, with her love of rugby, was perfect as the club overlooked the grounds. Not long after, she was given the opportunity to pre-open the Newbury club overlooking the racecourse, where she fully embraced the hard hat and prefab building. This really was a stunning club.
