About us

Lightning is more than a travel recruitment company. We’re a movement sending a jolt through the industry. Because things need to change – & we’re determined to make it happen ⚡️ Believe it or not, we didn’t choose Lightning as our name because of the cute emoji. Truth is, we were brainstorming in a pub – where all our best work happens – thinking about changemakers & queer icons who champion individuality & send jolts through their industries. Bowie. Gaga. Potter. (Okay, maybe not the last one.) Their lightning bolts represent power and decisiveness – flashes of clarity, inspiration, & creativity. Done. Our Purpose We believe you should be the change you want to see. It’s no secret the travel industry lacks diversity, or that its recruitment processes are unfair – it’s just that no one talks about it. But we do. Because we think taking ownership of our industry’s issues is crucial if we’re going to overcome them. & we really want to, because we love working in travel. Sure, we might ruffle some feathers. Maybe worse. But that means we’re changing the game. & making a positive change is why we do what we do. Our values Our values guide us every day. Feel free to borrow them. What’s ours is yours. In fact, please do. We’d love everyone in our industry to live by them. Be empowering. Everyone being the same is boring – and it makes for really bad business. So, seek new perspectives. Encourage authenticity. Celebrate differences. Because everyone should be able to bring their whole self to work. Be human. Like it or not, work is emotional because it impacts people’s lives. So, be compassionate. Show generosity. Foster long-term relationships that help everyone thrive. &, for goodness sake, don’t ghost people. Be better. Just because it’s always been done that way, doesn’t mean it’s right. So, call out bullsh*t. Lead the crowd, don’t follow it. The sales pitch? We're the only luxury travel & hospitality recruiter with over 100 5* reviews on Google ⚡️

  • Why aren't we talking about menopause? [resources below] 👈 Well today we are SHOUTING about it as it's world menopause day 🌎 How often have you chatted about menopause by the water cooler, during a performance review, in an all-hands meeting? I'd venture never. In fact, I'd bet actual money you've never heard the word "menopause" uttered in your workplace… Because it's embarrassing, right? 👀 Just think about that. Menopause affects HALF our population at some point in their lives. Usually between the ages of 45 and 55 (although it can happen younger or older), menopausal women and people assigned female at birth (AFAB) inclusive of trans men + non binary icons are the fastest-growing demographic in the workforce ✨ Yet 45% feel menopausal symptoms negatively impact their work and 47% who needed to take a day off say they wouldn't tell their employer the real reason. Even worse, in a survey by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), one in 10 women and AFAB people who worked during their menopause were forced to leave their job due to symptoms 😭 Aside from failing to prioritise the health and wellbeing of your employees, which can have disastrous consequences for your employer brand, brushing menopause under the rug (that may or may not have been a pun - you decide) could put your business at risk of being sued 🙋♀️ Recently, The EHRC confirmed menopause symptoms can be considered a disability and failing to make "reasonable adjustments" amounts to discrimination under the 2010 Equality Act if the symptoms have a "long-term and substantial impact" on a woman's ability to carry out their usual day-to-day activities ⚡️ Now do you think we should talk about it? 💯 Click the link for five ways menopause can impact women and AFAB people at work - and five things you can do as an employer to foster a more supportive, inclusive environment for them, written by me: https://lnkd.in/ei4QYXpC 👈 Or if you'd like to delve even deeper and engage with lived experiences then the Davina Mccall documentary on Channel 4 is simply incredible, and you can find it here: https://lnkd.in/eRH3iQvt 🫶 Bonus fun fact: trans women take the same HRT as menopausal women 🏳️⚧️ #menopause #menopauseintheworkplace #hr #inclusion #language #lgbt #trans #womenintheworkplace
