Our highly experienced team
Leanne Makinson
Leanne Makinson
Leanne is the creator and founder of Hargreaves Recruitment
Leanne has worked in recruitment for the last 21 years, initially starting out as an agency recruiter then moving into internal recruitment for 11 years of her career, working with businesses that had never invested in recruitment before.
Leanne formed Hargreaves Recruitment back in 2017 after being made redundant three time in a row, it’s a business she is incredibly proud of
Leanne isn’t your typical recruiter and this isn’t your typical recruitment consultancy (I know your probably thinking yeah alright and rolling your eyes right now). Leanne has created a business that has a strong foundation of like minded individuals that want to make a difference in the recruitment industry and there are some pretty solid plans for Hargreaves to evolve with this in mind. Not forgetting the Goodies page she have already created which can be found HERE.
Outside of work, Leanne is a full-time dog Mum to Koba the cane Corso (aka the horse) and on the occasions she isn’t found working, she will be out travelling with her dog child, Koba
Koba
Koba
Koba (AKA ‘the horse’) is Leanne’s pride and joy. She is a gentle giant and you will often see her on our social media platforms doing what she does best… strutting her stuff!
