Client Testimonials
After working with Lushia during a consultation, I saw immediate and measurable results. Within just two weeks of applying her method, my LinkedIn connections increased by 20%, and I secured my own direct chase chemistry meeting with a multinational organisation for a potential pipeline role. Her approach is practical, easy to implement, and something I will continue using throughout my career. It gave me the confidence to initiate direct chase meetings and actively pursue the roles I truly want. The impact has been both empowering and transformative.
Testimonial 1 — Consultation & Direct Chase Method
My onboarding experience with LVB Consulting was refreshing and exceptionally detailed. The process was structured, relevant, and immediately elevated my visibility in the market. Since working with Lushia, I’ve been approached directly by hiring managers and recruiters — something that hadn’t happened before. Her direct chase strategy is powerful and effective. I gained clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of direction. I’m grateful for her guidance and the value she brings through her recruitment expertise.
Testimonial 2 — Onboarding & Visibility
Client Testimonials
I was genuinely surprised by how impactful the Direct Chase Experience was. From the very beginning, I didn’t realise how involved and hands-on the process would be. Lushia actively chased all the key decision-makers to secure the chemistry meeting, the interview, and ultimately the right opportunity. Her commitment and drive throughout the process exceeded my expectations. It’s a service that delivers real results for executives seeking meaningful roles.
Testimonial 3 — Direct Chase Experience
Working with Lushia was an absolute pleasure. She understands that one size does not fit all and took the time to listen to my goals before advising. Her expertise in navigating LinkedIn helped me quickly grasp how to build the right network and maximise my profile. She improved my visibility to the right companies and individuals, and her personal touch and emotional intelligence made the experience even more valuable. It’s clear she has walked the job-market journey herself. I highly recommend her services — it’s one of the best self-investments I’ve made.
Testimonial 4 — LinkedIn Positioning & Personalised Guidance
Client Testimonials
I engaged with Lushia during a period where I was being selective about the mandates I wanted to take on as a Fractional CFO. What stood out immediately was her ability to position professionals in a targeted and commercially relevant way. Instead of following a traditional recruitment model, she used a proactive visibility approach that led to highly relevant engagement and ultimately aligned me with a fractional CFO mandate at Sanctura. She is hands-on, market-aware, and offers perspective that goes far beyond placement — especially at founder, board, and investor level. Her ability to connect capability with need, quickly and intentionally, is what differentiates her. I recommend her to professionals who value thoughtful, high-touch engagement and want to be positioned for the right opportunities.
Testimonial 5 — Fractional CFO Mandate & Strategic Positioning
I had the privilege of working with Lushia early in my career, at a time when I was still finding my place in management. She didn’t just recruit for a role — she recognised potential in me before I had the confidence or language to articulate it. She opened the door to my first management position, which changed the entire trajectory of my career. Her instinct for people is exceptional. She understands capability, culture fit, and leadership potential deeply and balances professionalism with honesty. Many recruiters fill vacancies; very few shape careers. Lushia is one of those few. I remain grateful for her impact and would recommend her to any organisation seeking a recruiter who truly elevates talent.

MEET LUSHIA THE PERSON BEHIND THE MODEL
I'm Lushia Van Buuren, Executive Director and Strategic Recruitment Coach at LVB Consulting.
After more than two decades in recruitment, I've worked extensively with organisations, hiring managers, recruiters and candidates. I've experienced recruitment from both sides and understand the challenges faced by professionals trying to navigate an increasingly competitive employment market.
Over the years, I've watched recruitment evolve.
I've seen exceptional candidates overlooked, qualified professionals rejected without meaningful feedback and talented individuals struggle to gain traction, not necessarily because they lack experience, but because they lack visibility and an effective strategy.
I realised that the traditional recruitment model was not addressing one of the biggest challenges facing job seekers: understanding how to position themselves to be found.
That's why I changed direction.
Instead of helping companies find people, I now focus on helping people become visible to companies.
I developed LVB Consulting's candidate focused methodology to give individuals practical recruitment knowledge, strategic LinkedIn positioning and a more proactive approach to career opportunities.
I believe that professionals should understand how recruitment works, why they aren't gaining traction and what they can do differently.
I also recognise that retrenchment can leave highly experienced professionals feeling uncertain about their value and future.
Through LVB Beyond Retrenchment, I extend this expertise to organisations wanting to provide meaningful career transition support to employees affected by restructuring.
My mission is not to create dependency. It is to create career independence.
This is more than recruitment. It's about visibility, confidence, empowerment and helping people take ownership of their next career move.
