Projects usually involve 4-5 students, who work 5-6 hours a week for 6-8 weeks. This is flexible as per the client’s needs. For each project there are consultants and a project manager, who coordinates project approach, workflows, and manages client communications.

LHI primarily recruits from UCL, LSE, Imperial, and King's, but accepts applications from any UK students. LHI recruitment uses a candidate pool which is reset at various points throughout the year - this is due to the asynchronous nature of projects. Screening consists of a CV review, either a case quiz or case task, and an interview for some roles. Positions are filled on a rolling basis when they become available. The consultant cohort is typically mostly made up of MSc students, with some PhDs, medical students, and strong BSc students, with an overall acceptance rate of around 20%. The application link for students can be found on the LHI linktree page when applications open, and this will be indicated on LHI's social media accounts.
