    Nina Harris, Finance Manager, Omega Red Group Ltd

  • One of the key differences about my experience with Macildowie was that they offered me help and support before I knew whether my board proposal to recruit would be given the go ahead.

    Carol-Ann Martin, HR Manager, Healthnet Homecare

  • I would fully recommend Macildowie for their bespoke targeted service.  If you have never worked with them before give them a go and let them show you some brilliant candidates.

      Onboarding and Re-Onboarding is one of the hottest topics in the world of recruitment at this moment in time.

All have had to develop their processes overnight.
