Recruitment LABS

Recruitment Labs is a specialist accounting and finance search firm built on the belief that the right hire can change everything. Founded by Liam Hassell with 20 years of dedicated experience in the sector, the company partners with businesses across Australia and New Zealand to build high-performing finance teams aligned to strategy, culture and commercial goals. Boutique by design, Recruitment Labs ensures every search receives focused attention, communication and care, leveraging their extensive network, market knowledge and reputation to identify difference-makers who deliver long-term value.

The company specialises exclusively in accounting and finance recruitment across six core areas: CFO and finance leadership roles responsible for financial direction and governance; financial control, reporting and accounting functions spanning statutory reporting and technical accounting; FP&A, commercial finance and strategy talent focused on planning and decision support; finance systems, transformation and analytics professionals who improve operational efficiency; tax, treasury, risk and internal audit expertise covering compliance and assurance; and finance operations and shared services leadership. This deep specialisation means Recruitment Labs understands how the best finance functions fit together and where the real difference-makers operate within each discipline.

Based in Sydney with operations spanning Australia and New Zealand, Recruitment Labs differentiates itself through research-led headhunting, market mapping and discreet access to off-market talent. The company prioritises a small number of mandates at any one time, ensuring low volume and high impact for each engagement. Their approach combines hands-on targeted search with honest feedback, clear communication and genuine after-care, making them a trusted partner for employers building finance teams and professionals seeking their next career move.
