“LSC Education managed the recruitment of our new Director of Schools, from initial briefing through to final candidate selection. As a multi-campus school in Riyadh that has grown rapidly in recent years, LSC were able to present us with an excellent list of suitable candidates, demonstrating a deep knowledge of the region's schools and head teacher network. They worked very hard to understand what the Governing Board was looking for. Their team listened attentively, provided good feedback and worked very hard for us. We were delighted with the outcome.”
