MJ Talent considers the whole person: expertise, emotional intelligence, curiosity, communication, resilience and capacity to change. That matters when roles evolve quickly and businesses need people who can contribute today without becoming obsolete tomorrow.

Founder · Talent Acquisition Specialist
Hi, I’m Melissa 👋
Recruitment is a people business. I intend to keep it that way.
After 15+ years across in-house, RPO and agency recruitment, I’ve learned that the best placements happen when you understand what sits behind the job title and behind the CV.
My background in Psychology and Communication Science shapes how I search: asking better questions, understanding motivation, spotting potential and finding the human fit that supports performance and retention.
“Technology supports recruitment. Relationships drive great hiring.”
