Meet Our Founder
If you're looking for the right people, you've found the right partner.
The BD Team
Liam Hassell
Founder, Recruitment Labs
For twenty years, I’ve specialised exclusively in Accounting & Finance recruitment, helping businesses across Australia and New Zealand fill roles that are critical, complex or simply hard to get right.
I’ve learned that the strongest 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.
I take real pride in bringing deep networks, honest market insight and personal accountability to every search and career conversation. Beyond Accounting & Finance, I can connect you with a trusted affiliate network of founder-led specialist firms, ensuring you have expert support across all corporate functions.
When I’m not in the office, you’ll usually find me at Sydney Park, my unofficial business development hub, outnumbered by my three dogs: Chase, Dash and Rush. And yes, three is two too many.
My recruitment capability includes:
