Meet the Founders

RFC is led by founders Lindsay and Greg, who bring proven recruitment expertise and lived experience of building and scaling agencies. Their guidance and support are at the heart of the community, available when founders need it most.

“I’d been chasing a deal that had fallen through twice and was ready to give up. After a call with Lindsay and Greg, they helped me reframe my approach and gave me the confidence to try again. That guidance turned everything around and I closed the deal and billed over £30,000.”

RFC Community Member
Co-Founder

Lindsay Hartland

Using his 20+ years of experience to help other recruiters realise their own potential of establishing their own businesses.

Lindsay is RFC’s co-founder.

 

Originally an Engineer, he pivoted into direct sales, then media sales, before eventually finding his way into recruitment in 2003.

He joined the Sthree group and progressed his career from Trainee to partner over a career spanning 17yrs, during which he established, inherited, and developed multiple business units across a number of territories, winning many awards along the way. It was during this time that he met and hired Greg, working with him for a few years before they went their separate ways.

During the pandemic; realising he wanted to spend more time with his family as well as wanting to fulfil a long-standing desire to be in control of his own destiny, he made the decision to go alone and establish his own recruitment business, and in the summer of 2020 Hanison Green Ltd was born.

To respect his previous employer while also wanting to try something new, he chose a market and territory he had no previous experience in – and although not having personally made a placement for over 10yrs, by choosing a fast-growing Niche within MedTech, he quickly established a reputation of being one of the leading recruiters within Neuromodulation, as well as becoming a board advisor to several US based Neuromodulation start-ups.

Now, with Hanison Green firmly established as a top recruiter in its field, and having been reunited with Greg, they’ve realised they both share a desire to use their experience to help other recruiters realise their own potential of establishing their own businesses.
