We consciously connect humans with businesses to help both thrive.

We’re created a new model of travel and lifestyle recruitment. A relationship-driven approach to head-hunting and business consultancy that helps individuals and businesses develop before, during, and after hiring. 

We work across both luxury travel and the wider travel industry on junior to senior roles across all job fields and match time poor teams with headhunted & video vetted candidates. We are the only travel recruitment agency to offer dedicated HR services to our clients, thanks to being powered by Cape Consulting.

We believe you should be the change you want to see.

For an industry built on relationships and transformational experiences, hiring practices are often detached and inhuman. But we do things differently by working exclusively with clients to consult on their setups & roles to find y'all the perfect people to help your business thrive.

We treat people like humans.

We believe building long-lasting relationships is the best way to do business. Because we put people before profits, we’ll never send you candidates we don’t believe in, work a role that's unworkable or put you forward for a role that isn’t right for you. 

We actually give a sh*t.

We genuinely love the travel and lifestyle industry. Aside from years of experience and a little book packed with relevant contacts, we truly want to see the industry – and the people in it – grow and succeed. That makes us a great ally.

We’re pushing for positive change.

We think taking ownership of our industry’s issues is crucial to overcoming them. Here at Lightning we want to help contribute to helping the industry build better workplaces and support with our recruitment and HR services to create real & meaningful change.

We let our work do the talking  

Making our clients and candidates happy is what matters most to us. So, why not read what they have to say?

“Thea is the recruiter extraordinaire, personable, fun, human, and CARES about her candidates when so many recruiters don't. I couldn't recommend her more highly.”

“What really sets Lightning apart is how much they get to know the companies they are recruiting for and how much they got to know me. Talking to any of the team, I could be completely myself, which not only made the process a joy, it also meant I feel confident that the job I accepted is the right role for me, aligned to my priorities and values. Lightning have been my biggest champions, cheering me on throughout.”
