LHH reviews

Having recently gone through a transition (acquisition of the Penna business) times have been challenging with the clash of differing cultures and personalities. However the business and relationships across it are now stronger as a result.

LHH Penna advertise themselves as "the worlds leading talent development and transition company", which is ironic when they have no interest in nurturing talent - whether that be candidates, employees or associates. There is no focus on the value that should be given to the candidates, it's simply not at the heart of what drives them. Everything is urgent because they’re so dis-organised, therefore they rely on being too reactive which compromises on the quality of their already light services. There is no recruitment or retention of quality coaches, which means that no meaningful support is provided to genuinely help individuals going through such difficult changes. For these above reasons I immediately handed in my notice as an associate since the acquisition. To be quite frank, the LHH name is not one I wish to advertise within my portfolio career. Nothing but the memory of Penna remains, which is not only a real shame for all involved, but also extremely shortsighted.
