Why I started mrkt Talent

I started in marketing recruitment because I love the creativity and complexity of the industry. I built mrkt Talent to be the recruitment business the industry deserves.

Everyone thinks they can hire a marketer.

Everyone thinks they're a marketer. And every recruiter thinks they can hire marketing roles. We all know that's not the case.

In large agencies, recruiting for marketing is usually an add-on, bolted onto a team focused on a specific industry, sales, or corporate services. The result? Neither clients nor candidates get real insight into what's actually happening in the market.

Business leaders don't get honest feedback on what type of marketer they really need. They get a square peg, square hole approach. And candidates don't have someone in their corner who genuinely understands their skills and can help them build a career over the long term.

I believe in the power hiring the right marketer has to build revenue. So I built mrkt Talent to fix it.

Expert matching. Fast delivery.

mrkt Talent specialises exclusively in Marketing and Product Management roles across Australia. That singular focus means deeper networks, sharper candidate assessment, and a genuine understanding of what great looks like in these roles.

For employers

I'll listen to your business needs and give you real-time market intel, so you only spend your time interviewing the right candidates and can do everything possible to secure your number one pick.

For job seekers

I'll help you position your skillset, give you the insights to nail the interview, and help you find the right role, company, and remuneration package to give you full confidence in your decision.

Real market intel

Finding a new job or hiring the right talent shouldn't be complicated. Sometimes you just need someone to listen and give you practical, actionable advice on the current market. That's my job.

Long-term relationships

Every search is bespoke. I'm not here to fill a role and move on. I'm here to build relationships that last. Many of the candidates and clients I work with today I've known for years.

Fewer profiles. More great hires.

Spending over 15 years recruiting exclusively for Marketing and Product Management in Australia, there is so much to know about this industry and the passionate people who work in it. And not enough recruiters giving this talent the service they deserve.

I've worked with businesses from ASX50 to start-ups launching in Australia, and recruited roles from deep specialists to broad generalist marketers. I understand the skills inside and out and can help you shape what your marketing role needs, and align this with candidates who want to grow with your business. I am hyper focussed on ensuring I only send you candidates you want to meet and engage, and measure this weekly. For you this means less time spent on screening and interviewing the wrong people and more time focussing on your team and business.

You control the search. I want to give you the skills, intel, and tools to make it your most successful yet. See what past clients and candidates have to say on my reviews page.
