About MJ Talent
Recruitment with more human intelligence.
Experience matters. Curiosity matters. And in a world changing at extraordinary speed, the ability to understand people matters more than ever.
Hi, I’m Melissa 👋
Talent Acquisition Specialist.
Talent Acquisition Specialist.
Professional people finder.
After more than 15 years in recruitment, I realised the best recruitment isn’t about filling vacancies as quickly as possible. It’s about understanding people.
What motivates them. What they are looking for. What kind of environment they will thrive in. And increasingly, how well they can adapt as technology, roles and expectations change around them.
That’s why I created MJ Talent: honest conversations, genuine partnerships and thoughtful search — without smoke, mirrors or CVs thrown at the wall.
Beyond the CV
IQ + EQ + adaptability.
Long-term retention requires more than proving someone can perform the job on day one.
Can they navigate it?
Self-awareness, empathy, communication and the ability to work constructively with different people.
Can they grow with it?
Adaptability, curiosity and learning agility for roles that will keep evolving with technology and life.
Experience that matters

MJ Talent understands the pressure on hiring managers to move quickly without compromising quality, while protecting the candidate experience that ultimately reflects your employer brand.
