Why founder-led matters
Your search is never handed off.
At the large staffing firms, the person who wins your business is rarely the person who works your search. Recruiter turnover at those firms tops 80% in the first year, so your account often lands with whoever was hired most recently. Green Lion is the opposite by design: one specialist with 14+ years recruiting finance and accounting talent, on every search personally, from the intake call to the accepted offer.
The recruiter you meet on the first call is the one calling candidates that afternoon.
The difference
Green Lion vs. the typical agency.
