Why partner with us?

We Listen

You want a recruitment partner who listens – we hear you.

We take the time to understand the challenges you face, your ambitions for growth, and your organizational culture. With a comprehensive view of your hiring needs, we don’t just rely on existing candidate pools; we actively build new networks of hand-picked talent.

We Challenge

You want honest, expert advice – we’ll give it to you straight.

When partnering with us, we’ll challenge you to think differently, diversify, and explore new approaches to hiring. We’ll introduce cross-industry opportunities, new connections, and unique partnerships that you may not have considered before.

We are your storytellers

You want talent buy-in – we bring a career at your organization to life.

To attract today’s top talent, a standard job ad or generic person specification won’t suffice. Candidates need genuine, in-depth insight into your organization—they want to understand what drives your business, what you stand for, where you’re headed, and how they fit in. So, let’s tell them your story.

We are committed

You want a recruitment partner who cares – we’re in this for the long haul.

We build long-term relationships to nurture future talent and strengthen organizations. As a result, we prioritize lasting connections over short-term wins, every time. We don’t just offer quick fixes or simply fill roles; we find talent with impact and longevity.

You nominate, we donate

For every job we fill, we donate £10 to both the candidate and the client’s charity of choice.

We recruit diverse talent

We help organisations attract and retain diverse hires. Our inclusive recruitment approach ensures you gain greater access to talent, achieve fairer representation at the interview stage, make more informed hiring decisions—and ultimately, secure the best person for the job.

Job adverts and specs

Inclusive job adverts attract diverse talent. We ensure all recruitment materials use gender-neutral language, are accessible to neurodiverse candidates, are free from alienating corporate jargon, and are inclusive of people from all races, ethnicities, faiths, ages, and socio-economic backgrounds.

Anonymous CVS

Anonymous recruiting combats bias. We anonymise candidate profiles to ensure individuals are evaluated solely on their skills and experience, reducing the risk of both conscious and unconscious bias. The result: fairer, smarter hiring.

Challenging bias

We check our biases. Every MLC consultant is trained to challenge bias—this means not only recognising bias but actively addressing it. By regularly reviewing our ED&I policy and conducting diversity monitoring, we ensure that every candidate is assessed based on the value they bring.
