Hi, I’m James

Hi, I’m James

Hiring is more competitive than ever. Everybody’s offering better wages, better work environments, more flexible schedules. So what sets you apart? That’s where I come in. My name is James MacDonald. I’m a marketer turned recruiter, and work with companies to help them attract top tech talent. Everyone should strive for a job they love.

Where to next?

About Me

Yep, I’m a recruiter – don’t hold it against me.

I believe companies can do a far better job marketing themselves as attractive places to work. I work with many companies, helping them attract and recruit the right employees. Marketing the opportunity is what helps get the right person in the right role.

 

The people you’re looking for often have rare skill sets, are in demand and can add extreme value to your team or organisation. Finding these people isn’t placing an advertisement on Seek and picking the best available talent at that point in time – it’s knowing the professionals in the market, drinking a lot of coffee to really get to know them, and then presenting the best fit to my client.

 

In 2018 I launched the NewyTechPeople podcast and in 2020 I have grown the JM Recruiting company to have multiple recruiters beyond just me.
