Our Leadership Team
Serdar Osman, ACCA
Director
Serdar founded Handpicked Recruitment following a successful four-year tenure as Global Corporate Controller for a publicly listed Oil & Gas Group. He qualified as an ACCA accountant in 2010, complementing his extensive experience as a Senior Management Accountant at Golar LNG, a globally recognised independent owner and operator of Liquefied Natural Gas infrastructure. Serdar brings deep financial expertise and industry insight to his role.
Simon Hayes
Director
Whilst serving as a Financial Controller at Accidents Direct, a specialist in personal injury claims, Simon faced considerable challenges recruiting suitable talent for his own finance team. Driven by this experience and a desire to improve the recruitment process, he joined Handpicked Recruitment, where he now applies his firsthand understanding of client needs to deliver exceptional results.
