About Us.

Our Story.

It all began at a fateful jury duty meeting in St Albans back in 2011. Having worked together ever since, our founders Jenna and Owen enjoyed fast-track careers at a large multinational recruitment company before launching the London practice for a small boutique firm. Bored of old age thinking and seeing many recruitment startups dust off the same old handbook, they launched Mackie Myers in 2021 to challenge convention and set about building a great recruitment business.

Manifesto.

We are here to make a difference. As a recruitment partner, Mackie Myers takes its role of supporting equality, diversity and inclusivity in the workplace very seriously. Both within our own business and within the businesses that we partner with. We also believe in the importance of businesses contributing to a more sustainable future. As such, we have committed to the net zero agenda across our network.

By prioritising people and planet over profit, and by promoting inclusion, sustainability, and continuous improvement, we seek to build better futures, one placement at a time.

Our Mission.

Mackie Myers is a modern, forward-thinking business. We truly believe in the value of quality recruitment, and we exist to facilitate that. Our team is committed to genuinely solving problems by providing human-centred advice and consultation, often in the most difficult of circumstances. We are dedicated to building meaningful relationships and delivering exceptional service, putting people at the heart of everything we do.

Net Promotor Score.

The Mackie Myers Experience is centred around delivering consistently excellent results and establishing strong, trusted relationships with our clients and our candidates. That is why we actively measure our customer satisfaction through Net Promoter Score (NPS) – a global benchmark for customer advocacy and loyalty.

In our latest reporting period, Mackie Myers achieved a World-Class NPS of 73.7, with both candidates and clients rating their experience of partnering with us as exceptional. This reflects our commitment to providing clear communication, forging genuine relationships, and delivering on what we promise.

We use this feedback to continually refine and improve our approach, ensuring every interaction we have is consultative, transparent and adds real value. For us, delivering a World-Class Mackie Myers Experience is not optional, it is fundamental to who we are.

Our Values.

Developed as a team, our values are the bedrock of our business, steering how we operate internally, and how we interact with customers externally.

We Connect.

We value long-term relationships and strive to consistently add value.

We Communicate.

We are proactive and keep you informed every step of the way. We listen to your needs.

We Care.

We put talent, employers, our team and the wider community at the heart of everything we do.
