When you work with Leanne and the team at Hargreaves you know that they will stop at nothing to get you the right candidate. I have had the pleasure to have known Leanne for a number of years now and can always rely on her to deliver an outstanding service.
What really stands out are the extra details and regular updates you get from her and the team, you feel part of the process without really doing anything! If you are looking for a dedicated recruitment partner I couldn’t recommend Leanne highly enough!!
Ben Muncaster
Northern Accountants Ltd

I can’t recommend Leanne enough. She is one of the most diligent and hard working recruiters out there.
She most definitely has her own style and that means she gets results for both sides, more than most.
She is very people and client focussed and I guarantee you that if you engage and work with her you will be successful either as a candidate or hiring manager.
She has a fantastic work ethic and regularly goes well beyond what you would expect, without being asked.
Leanne is incredibly focussed and driven and is an absolute credit to the recruitment sector, there should be far more Leanne’s in this world, in my humble opinion.

I have worked with Leanne for many years and have always been impressed at her professionalism and her ability to match a candidate to not only the role but to a team ethos.
Leanne has always ensured that she fully understands a role and how a business works so that candidates who join the company have a good understanding of expectations and most importantly stay with the business. I cannot recommend Leanne highly enough and look forward to continuing to work with her in the future.
LAURUN POTTS - DIRECTOR

Leanne has done a fantastic job of recruiting for our legal cashier team, she took the time to understand what we were looking for in our candidates so that when it came to interview stage weren’t wasting our time with candidates that didn’t meet our criteria, we would have happily employed any of the candidates we interviewed.
I would definitely use Leanne for any future recruitment needs.
TONI WESCOTT-SMITH (FINANCIAL ACCOUNTANT)

Leanne was a breath of fresh air at Care UK and I had the pleasure of working with her for a year and a half. She introduced assessment centres to the business and implemented some great resourcing strategies to help with the recruitment of domiciliary support workers.
She built fantastic relationships with key members of senior management ensuring she understood the ethos and team culture at Care UK. I would recommend Leanne to anyone that wants a professional and genuine recruitment service.

Leanne provides an exceptional recruitment service. She works enthusiastically and thoroughly with the initial brief to really understand the role to find the best candidates. Leanne has filled some difficult and niche roles and always with a smile on her face.
I have no hesitation in recommending Leanne to anyone who has a recruitment need no matter what the size, she is always professional and helpful and wants to do the best job possible. Leanne is simply a pleasure to work with.

Angela Jacques
Human Resources Business Partner at Westgate Healthcare
Leanne sourced the ideal position for me at a time when I didn’t even realise I was looking for a new role. Following an initial conversation Leanne presented me with a role that could have been made for me. Very impressed with not only her professionalism but her instant insight into what would be a great fit for me. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a change in employment life to give Leanne an opportunity to assist you.

Sophie Metcalf MCIPD, FLPI
Head Of Human Resources at Expect Distribution Ltd
I met Leanne through LinkedIn at a difficult time and she has been so kind in sharing tips and links to locate a new role. Leanne is very different from normal recruiters as she works with a smaller number of roles to provide a superior service to both employers and job seekers. What really impresses me is the way in which she shares her knowledge and experience across the industry rather than hoarding it.

Matthew Bramwell
Service Delivery Director at Edge by Ascential
I have worked with Leanne for a number of years in various roles that she has held and they all have a number of things in common. All the roles are delivered with enthusiasm, professionalism and something that is lacking in her profession , empathy. Leanne has a heart as well as an in-depth knowledge of her profession and I would recommend her as key partner to support any business in their search for great people.

Sam Tasker-Grindley
Head of Member Success at Clarity HQ; Providing the tools, training and support to help accountants scale their business advisory services.
Leanne has a really refreshing approach to recruitment. She properly spends her time to understand the role she is recruiting for before finding the appropriate candidates in her large database to put forward for it. Leanne’s personal and proactive approach are what make her stand out as a brilliant recruiter for SMEs. Highly recommended!

Tim Cattlin
Consultant to the van industry. Freelance content writer.
Leanne is basically fabulous! Although I’ve not used her services as an employer or as a candidate, she took time out to take a good look at my CV and LI profile to make sure there were no gaping holes or gaffs. She’s spent the lockdown weeks doing similar for many others, and is trying to place people in roles for no personal financial gain. She’s playing the long ball, and doing it well. A proper superstar. 🙂

Kenneth Sugden
Digital Sales Manager at Comfy Group
Leanne has been an #amazing mentor in the troubling COVID 19 environment, very refreshing, friendly, and understanding person, in a sometimes very impersonal sector. Leanne will be the first point of contact for my recruitment needs when they arise. Many thanks, Ken

Neil Berry
Finance Director at William Rowland Limited
I had the pleasure of working with Leanne a couple of years ago when she was working as an in-house recruiter. She was dedicated, personable, highly professional and always tried to do the right think for both the company and the potential recruit.

Paulina Szydlowska
Head of Human Resources at The Breakfast Club
Leanne is a great communicator and very much of a doer, she helps you there and then whenever you ask for advise, opinion etc. which is very rare this days.

Steven Lea
Depot Manager at Ribble Fuel Oils
Highly recommended Leanne as a great recruiter. Fantastic knowledge and open, honest feedback.

Mark Keedy
Operations Director at Needlers
When you look at how Leanne decided to open up her own business at such a young age, that shows who you are dealing with. Nothing outfaces her and her honest approach but outstanding work ethic will see her business grow. If you need help recruiting or looking for a job yourself, give Leanne a try and she will not disappoint you. She will get to know you and your business first and that makes a difference. Appreciate all your support Leanne.

Neil Beardsmore
Finance Director at Ice Travel Group
Leanne is hard working and no nonsense. She grasped the brief and not only delivered great candidates who matched the skills required, but she also matched our personalities to ensure a great working relationship from the start. She is very professional and personable and willing to help in any way possible. I would definitely use Leanne’s services again and would recommend her to anyone.

Anne Lucas Assoc. CIPD
Human Resources Advisor at Oldham College
I am personally so grateful for Leanne’s posts on LinkedIn, her selfless help and sharing of profiles of those who are looking for work without asking for anything in return. I followed her advice and after 5 weeks of being out of work, I was offered an interim post. I am confident that Leanne is one of the most helpful and experienced recruiters out there.
