Lawrence Harvey first ventured to the USA back in 2015 with four core members. Since then, we have increased headcounts, grown our office space, expanded into new technology verticals, and built both long last lasting client and candidate relationships, and this is just the beginning…
The Lawrence Harvey NYC brand has played a pivotal role in the expansion of new offices, including in Los Angeles and Austin. We have also contributed to the launch of three more core LHi brands in the USA, including Harper Harrison (The Built Environment), SciPro (Life Sciences), and Piper Maddox (Clean Energy) which has been possible due to the revenue that Lawrence Harvey has been able to bring in.
A LITTLE MORE ABOUT WHAT WE DO.
Lawrence Harvey is a specialist recruitment partner that operates exclusively in cutting-edge tech space. When we started in the USA, seven years ago, we only specialised in Data; fast forward to today, where we have grown to seven technical specialisations which are listed below. Our goal here is to help our client base of mainly fortune 500 clients and unicorn start-ups either modernise, digital transform, or innovate their business by providing top tech talent.
We work with the likes of Walmart, Snowflake Computing, Magic Leap, NBC, Cisco, Amazon, J&J, BCG, Goldman Sachs, and many more.

MISSION
Our mission is simple - both in our New York office and globally as a brand, we thrive to differentiate ourselves from our competition. We do this, not only externally to our clients, by providing an Executive Level Search for every role we work on, but also, internally for our consultants by advocating our values and philosophies that are now part of our DNA. Our “Younger You” philosophy is about making the journey for those that join after us a better, happier, and smoother path to success than it was for us.
This is done by thoroughly training employees at every level with a personalised training programme to fit the specific positions we have internally. Even after 7 years with Lawrence Harvey, I am still receiving training to be at the top of my game!
On top of this, we have 25+ quarterly workshops that are given by our businesses SMEs in all steps of the recruitment process such as “Connecting the Dots”, “Advanced Closing”, “Systematic Searching”, “Honest Client Communication”, “Red Flag Discovery” and way more!
Another way we take our internal consultant’s life to the next level is our focus on the “Future You”. Whether it is how to set yourself up for financial freedom (credit, real estate, stock market), or mental health. At Lawrence Harvey, we are far from being just a number, we are part of a People first business, and that’s why we have programmes that encourage success inside and outside of the office to ensure all our employees enjoy their journey with us and continue to be part of our legacy.
GROWTH PLANS
At the beginning of 2021, we were 25 people and now, midway through 2022, we are at 50!
This is down to the excellent relationships we have created with our clients to bring every new consultant into a desk with highly qualified positions ready to be worked.
Our recent expansion has even led to bigger and better office space because we have no plans of slowing down. By the end of 2023, we are looking to have a 70+ headcount. This means the #1 small to medium-sized recruitment business to work for in NYC is hiring at all levels from consultants to managers and everything in between!
The exciting part about all this growth is that in addition to growing our current technical specialisations, we will be venturing into growing some new business functions including Robotics, Blockchain/Metaverse, and will be hiring for new leaders. This brings me to our main focus for the rest of 2022-2023 is to grow our contractors' book across all these business units.
So, With the EOT recently being announced, combined with our culture and opportunities, there is no better time to join Lawrence Harvey than right now.
