The Lotus team are big believers in sharing content that entertains, educates, and inspires – welcome to Lotus Recommends!


Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens


There are currently multiple copies of this novel floating around the Lotus People offices, so it had to feature on Lotus Recommends! Where the Crawdads Sing reached #1 on the New York Times Bestseller List and has been read by almost every person our Candidate Manager and Career Coach, Fran, follows on Instagram.


An emotional and entertaining read, the novel challenges our readiness to stereotype, and the prejudices that undoubtedly follow, through the story of ‘Marsh Girl’ Kya Clark. A ‘nature-infused romance with a killer twist’, Lotus Recommends picking up a copy!

Maybe your role hasn’t evolved, but your priorities have. Or maybe the work’s become repetitive, or the culture has shifted in a way that doesn’t align with you. Whatever the reason, something just isn’t sitting right—and that’s worth paying attention to. We get it. As recruiters, we hear this all the time from people who are feeling unsettled and unsure of their next step.
