Contact - MK Talent

What types of organisations do you typically work with?

I work with scaling SMEs and established organisations that want recruitment to work more effectively. This often includes businesses growing under pressure, those reducing reliance on agencies, or teams looking to improve confidence, consistency and outcomes across hiring.

Do you work with in-house teams, outsourced models or both?

Both. I help organisations design and optimise recruitment delivery models that fit their goals. This might be an in-house Talent Acquisition team, an RPO or MSP, or a hybrid approach. The focus is always on control, capability and sustainable performance, not a one-size-fits-all solution.

How do you usually start working with a new client?

Every engagement starts with a discovery phase. This helps us understand how recruitment really operates today, where performance or confidence is being lost and where change will have the greatest I.M.P.A.C.T. From there, I’ll recommend the most appropriate next steps, whether that’s strategy, optimisation or hands-on support.

Can you help if our recruitment team is already stretched and short on time?

Yes. Many clients come to me because their teams are busy delivering vacancies and don’t have the time or space to step back and redesign how recruitment works. I take on the heavy lifting, reduce disruption to business as usual and ensure improvements are practical and sustainable.

Do you implement change or just provide recommendations?

I do both. Some clients need clarity and direction, while others need hands-on support to implement change. I can design recruitment strategies, operating models and technology solutions, and also support delivery through implementation, training, interim or fractional leadership.

How do you approach recruitment technology and AI?

Technology should support better hiring, not add complexity. I help organisations select, implement and optimise recruitment technology so systems work together effectively. Where AI is used, I focus on practical value, responsible use and compliance with GDPR and EU regulations, rather than hype or shortcuts.

What is the Recruitment BOT service and how does it work?

Recruitment BOT stands for Build, Operate, Transfer. It’s a structured approach to designing and embedding the right recruitment delivery model for your business. I help build the model, oversee delivery during transition and transfer ownership once it’s stable and performing as intended.

What does Fractional or Interim Talent Leadership mean in practice?

It means I step in to provide senior Talent Acquisition leadership without the commitment of a full-time hire. This might be part-time leadership, project-based support or interim cover during change. The focus is on leading transformation, improving performance and building internal capability.

How long do engagements typically last?

It depends on the scope and complexity. Some projects run for a few weeks, while others span several months. I offer flexible support models, from short advisory engagements to longer-term partnerships, always aligned to your business needs.

What makes MK Talent Advisory different from a recruitment agency or consultancy?

I don’t place candidates and I don’t sell off-the-shelf solutions. My focus is on designing recruitment systems that work in practice, building internal capability and leaving organisations stronger than when I arrived. I combine hands-on delivery experience with strategic insight, acting as a trusted partner rather than a supplier.
