big win for hireful’s leanne hayward at HR consultancy festival 2025!

We’re raising a glass (and maybe a slice of cake) tocelebrate a fantastic achievement — hireful’s very own Head of Partners, Leanne Hayward, has scooped the ‘Consulting Partner’ award at this year’s HR Consultancy Festival 2025! 🏆

This award is all about recognising the people who go aboveand beyond to support HR consultants — whether that’s through standout services, clever collaboration, or the kind of behind-the-scenes brilliance that makes everything run smoothly.

And if you know Leanne, you’ll know this is spot on. Together with the partner team at hireful, she helps independent HR consultants expand what they can offer their clients — from top-notch recruitment servicesto our handy applicant tracking software. It’s all about making life easier for consultants and helping them shine in front of their clients.

But it’s not just about the tools. Leanne has been busy building a true community of HR consultants who support one another. The next big step in that journey? The Partner Day on 12th February — achance for partners to get together, network, learn, and share their experiences.

The whole team at hireful couldn’t be prouder. Leanne was up against some fantastic nominees, but this award is a real testament to her commitment, energy, and passion for supporting partners.

Congrats, Leanne — we’re chuffed to bits for you! 🎊
