About

Seasoned recruitment professional with a career spanning multiple continents and recruitment disciplines. Started my journey at Deloitte, transitioning to the recruitment industry in 1994. I've built and led successful teams in both permanent and temporary recruitment across Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.

In 2005, I co-founded people2people, a leading recruitment and HR solutions provider. As a Director, I've spearheaded the company's growth through organic expansion and strategic acquisitions. We now operate across Australia, New Zealand and the UK, offering specialized recruitment services in accounting & finance, technology, business support, government, executive, human resources, marketing & digital, property, and supply chain management. We also provide comprehensive HR solutions including RPO, consulting, and outsourced payroll.

Currently, I serve as Chairman for several boards within the people2people group and am the Principal Consultant at Frog Recruitment in Wellington, specializing in white-collar contract roles at all levels of seniority. I leverage my diverse experience to connect talented professionals with fulfilling opportunities.

Who’s afraid of the big bad review!

Why is it that when I think of public customer reviews, and particularly reviews of recruitment consultants publicly available and on the internet...

Should LinkedIn have a Grade system?

So today I saw this message on the Facebook group recruiters online. It was actually from a Twitter post shared by a member of the group suggesting...

I reached out to Mark when I was starting my job search. I spoke with 2 recruiters at other companies before Mark, but he was the first one to really go through my non-traditional background and give insight on how it could be viewed from a hiring manager's point of view. He also gave some ideas on steps I could take to improve my CV. The changes I made to my CV helped me land an interview and I am currently awaiting an official job offer! His company also actively reaches out each week to see if you're still interested in finding a job and looks for the right fit for you. I definitely recommend him!

Mark is an excellent recruiter. Tennis however is not his strong point.
