Focus

Mid-to-Senior HR

I've spent the last ten years working with businesses that are growing, changing, or both. Before MVRK, I worked at Frazer Jones, Gartner, and Winning Acuity across commercial and talent roles.

Most of the HR roles I work on now are ones where the company is hiring for a function or capability it hasn't had before. That's where I spend most of my time and where I think MVRK is most useful.

Our Mission

"Finding the right HR person for a role the company has never had before."

Most of the searches I work on are for roles that are being created, not replaced. A first HRBP for a new market. A Head of Rewards where there was none. An HR Director for a region that's outgrown being managed from HQ.

These are roles where the brief changes as the business does, and the person needs to be comfortable with that. I help companies work out what they actually need and then go find it.

Our Approach

Understanding the brief

We spend time understanding the business context, not just the job spec. What does the company look like now, what's changing, and what does this role need to become in 12 months?

Finding the right person

We don't send volume. We search until we find people who fit the specific context: the company stage, the reporting line, and where the role is heading over the next year or two.

Staying involved

We stay in the process through offer and into onboarding. The search isn't done when someone signs; it's done when they're settled.
