Projects usually involve 4-5 students, who work 5-6 hours a week for 7-8 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. A CV screening system adapted from the 2017 BCG draft A3 model is used, followed by an asynchronous case task, which is more challenging and more reflective of real project work than a case interview. 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 at the bottom of the website homepage, or through the linktree URL in the 'contact' page.
