Case Study
Education
LT Support was founded by Laura Tanner in the middle of 2020. After in excess of 20 years working within the recruitment space, mastering her craft across both the education & social care side of the market, the idea of launching her own agency had always been ‘on the cards’. All that was required was some opportune timing, the right support & a leap of faith! Focussing across the education market, this is her story.

Client Name: Laura Tanner
Company Name: LT Support

Why haven’t you done this before now?”. This was the question on our lips when we first had the opportunity to talk with Laura about her goals & ambitions for her own agency back at the start of 2020.
It had always been an idea that she’d toyed with; coming to the forefront of her mind on countless occasions, whether that be a result of building out another team for another education agency, opening new branches in areas untapped by her current employer or simply just reflecting on the consistency of her billings over the years (& years) of working in this market. If she could generate & maintain the GP she’d enjoyed for years prior, all while taking on the further multitude of responsibilities given to her by her employers, what would stop her from being able to build her own successful education recruitment agency?
In our eyes (& in hers) the answer was… nothing!
& so our conversations ensued. Phone calls, ZOOM meetings & a few face-to-face meetings in a post-apocalyptic COVID world allowed Isotope to really understand the person we’d been chatting to for so long & also the support that was really going to add value & align with her ambitions for her brand new education recruitment agency.
Isotope have always had a great deal of admiration & respect for our clients across the education market. It really is a market that demands a high level consultative, professional, empathetic & personal approach to each assignment & therefore to assume that the support in & around that growing business can be anything other than just that, would be naïve!
Having been fortunate enough to work with a number of agencies across the education market over the years, from early-years to primary, from secondary to SEN, all the way through to the FE side of the market – we’re lucky enough to have a great idea of what support is required. Here are just some of the areas of support Isotope are lucky enough to work within LT Support across:

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness
Since being approached by Isotope Capital to discuss the benefits of using a launch and support service when starting my own recruitment agency, I have been very impressed. From the number of initial phone calls with Max to talk through the options and how everything works, to meeting Laura and Max at their offices, to launching with Max, Laura, Jordan and Alan the whole process has been smoothly managed and has helped make the experience less daunting. Knowing they are at the end of the phone to provide support as I need it is great and gives that added peace of mind. Almost fully launched now, LT Support couldn’t have got started the way it has without them all understanding what I wanted my business to be and listening. I look forward to the next four years and beyond working in collaboration with them.

There’s a story in the name. Did you know that LT Support has a double meaning? Not only does it reflect the initials of its founder, but it also stands for “long term” as homage to the long term support Laura & her agency looks to provide. I suppose we have Laura’s mum & dad to thank for that!
So there are a few things you might feel like doing right now. You might feel like re-reading the above? Perhaps you can resonate with this particular recruiter, perhaps they’re working in a comparable market to you & you’d like to re-read both their history & some of the support that has been important to them since their inception. Alternatively you might feel like reading another case study from the collection? Perhaps you’re interested in hearing other stories, other insights into what pulls recruiters to start their own agencies & compare that with your own thoughts & feelings around the topic. Or perhaps you just feel ready to make that first step for yourself? You’ve read a few of these case studies now & can see parts of “you” in every journey, you’ve looked at their history, you’ve reviewed what they had to say about Isotope & you might have even taken a sneak peak of them on LinkedIn. Whatever you feel like doing, what’s stopping you clicking that yellow button & exploring the idea a little further? 👇

“I had been so eager to chat with Laura about her goals & ambitions to start her own agency for years before we finally had the opportunity to chat. With such a wealth of experience across the education market, it’s no surprise LT Support has been such a success over the last few years. Having navigated through the challenges that COVID brought, it’s great to see the business developing month on month & with the introduction Charlie into the team we’re so excited to see what the next few years bring. More of the same we hope!”
