Liam Hassell, Founder of Recruitment Labs

Meet Our Founder

Twenty years.
One specialisation.
Real relationships.

For twenty years, I’ve specialised exclusively in Accounting & Finance recruitment, focusing on roles that are critical, complex or just plain hard to fill.

I’ve learned that the best finance teams are built on more than technical capability. They come from carefully aligning expertise with business needs, values with culture and ambition with opportunity. It’s an approach we call perfecting the people formula.
