ABOUT LEONID.

 
Leonid Group is a specialist search and talent advisory firm, operating in the Corporate Governance sector - encompassing Compliance, Risk & Audit, Legal, ESG & Sustainability, and Data Privacy & Forensics, Investigations & Disuptes.  We also have a specialist Professional Services team, who cover R&D tax, corporate tax and tax & incentives.

We work internationally, and have to date made placements in over 30 different countries. Our offices are based in London, Barcelona and Cape Town and we have a diverse and highly experienced talent acquisition team who collectively speak 11 languages.

HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT.

Leonid started life in 2018 as a search-based recruiter and in 2025, we recognised the power of the data and insights we held and expanded our offering to include Talent Intelligence, to give firms a competitive edge in their hiring and retention strategies.

SEARCH

We work on a retained search basis. In other words, our clients secure our time with an advance payment.

Why do we do this? We believe that the traditional ‘contingency’ recruitment model is flawed; paying only once a placement has been made simply does not work in the best interests of the hiring company.

Instead, we take a true partnership approach; acting as an extension of our clients’ own in-house talent acquisition team to deliver exceptional service and the highest levels of candidate care. To understand the benefits of the Leonid approach versus contingency recruiters, we have produced this simple guide to help you understand the differences.

ADVISORY

Our 'Talent Intelligence' service provides data-driven insights to our clients; thereby enabling smarter, data-driven decisions on organisational design and resource strategy.

There are multiple use cases for this service. The most common ones include:

  • Bespoke salary benchmarking
  • Peer benchmarking
  • Skills gap analysis
  • Organisation design
  • Retention risk assessment
  • Market entry feasibility
  • Building a business case for more resource

We can create a package which is tailored to your exact needs.

REDEFINING RECRUITMENT WITH THE MAGIC MONTH.

 
Leonid’s Magic Month methodology makes the recruitment process exceptionally efficient and wholly transparent.

We pledge to complete our mandates within 30 days – that’s around three times faster than the industry average.

VIDEO SHORTLISTS WITH LeonidLive.

 
Our clients love receiving their LeonidLive shortlists! While the first step in an interview process is usually a screening call, we take this one step further.

We produce 5-10 minute video interviews with a member of our talent acquisition team (with questions set by you) and these enable you to get an instant feel for a candidate’s passion and communication skills – things which cannot be ascertained from a CV alone.
