Our culture is all about supporting and encouraging gold medal performance, individually and collectively. We're one team - this means demanding the best from ourselves as individuals and supporting one another to achieve gold medal performance collectively. Our values have grown organically. It became really obvious in the economic and social pressure cooker of lockdown in 2020 how special our culture was.
We involved everyone in helping to capture the essence of that culture and articulate the values which were at the heart of it. That's just as true for everyone who works at Macs as it is for our candidates and clients. Our values underpin that vision and guide how we achieve it.

I have recently had the pleasure of dealing with Clarissa at Macildowie who contacted me to discuss what I believe is my dream job role. Throughout the whole interview process I never felt like a number and Clarissa was with me every step of the way, always helping and supporting me and having everyone’s best interest at heart. I think Clarissa is one of a kind in the recruitment industry and would be happy to recommend her and Macildowie to anyone seeking employment.

I worked with Greg during my recent job search and was very happy with the process from start to finish. The work he put in to understand what I was looking for in and what the clients on the other side were looking for meant that the roles he called about were very good fits. Very impressed by the level of support and quality of advice throughout. Thanks Greg!

Absolute top class service from Macildowie Recruitment. Luke contacted me about a job that was available in my field and within one phone call he had set up an interview with the hiring firm. Excellent professionalism and willing to go to any length to help his clients. I got the job and it was all thanks to Luke's excellent work rate and communication. I would recommend Macildowie to anyone looking for employment. Brilliant company.

Having set up an interview with one of my friends at 10 am, true to form the representative from this company failed to appear. This left my friend very upset and disappointed. Especially as they had apparently head hunter her and she had to wake up at 2am for this interview. Reading reviews online, I see this is common for the company. Stay away and use a better recruitment agency

I think we can safely say life changed for everyone during this pandemic. Redundancies, uncertainty and heartbreak. I consider myself to be a very positive person, but even I was starting to lose hope seeing all of the news stories about people losing their jobs when I was searching for a new one! From the moment Heather at Macildowie contacted me, I felt uplifted and full of hope. What a vibrant, motivating consultant who is not at all salesy or pushy. I've worked for and with many recruitment agencies and never had such a seamless, flawless process. Professional, personable and hard working.

During the pandemic I was unfortunately made redundant. I made contact with Macildowie following up on a job I had seen advertised via total jobs. Emma Welsh was super helpful, supportive and gave me so much encouragement. Her communication was outstanding. I am also pleased to say that I was the successful candidate for this role and start my new job next week. The support before each interview really helped my confidence and I would highly recommend this agency.

Heather has been absolutely amazing at helping me find a job. I got in touch as advised by a friend of mine who is also job searching and since the first email I sent to Heather she has been nothing but professional and so friendly.
I have just been offered a job and could not have managed this without Heather’s help and support every step of the way. I could call/email any time to ask for advice and answers were always prompt and so helpful.
I would definitely recommend getting in touch with Heather, she makes you feel at ease right away and is always there to help. Thank you so much!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!
Met with Dave who was wonderful & thorough, made me feel like i’m not alone in my job search! Heather was AMAZING! Found me the PERFECT role, got me in for my interview quick, and was VERY friendly & helpful on email, text, calls & in person! I would STRONGLY recommend Macildowie & all the team, not just Heather & Dave!
They are a wonderful agency & would highly recommend using them!
Honestly super thankful for Macildowie!
NB: Can see why role was available. Several people had walked out of the job on their break times. Management was a sham & so was the job role. Would

I would definitely recommend Macildowie as it's a great recruitment team. I have had a short stint/ temporarily position working with the Macs family and was made to feel very welcome from beginning to end. Thank you so much for making my time very enjoyable. Big shoutout and special thanks to Steve, Keely, Alycja and Luke. Miss you all, keep up the good work x x

A week ago I had an assessment centre with Macildowie Outstanding Recruitment. After I received a phone call from the firm and I got to say - I was in confusion. The phone call after an assessment centre was meant to be a feedback discussion. Not even for a second, I heard anything good about my performance. Neither group work or individual task… were discussed. Moreover, I have been told that "Before you came here, we heard that you have been connecting with people and asking for a piece of advice regarding an assessment centre and that kind of behaviour put us away". This is saying that

Arranged a meeting with these guys, they were a no show, didn’t even let me know they weren’t going to turn up. Very unprofessional. Then they had the audacity to call me 2 hours later after the meeting should have happened stating "I was in meetings all morning I'm ringing to reschedule" Really you think that is going to happen?
