Colleagues describe them as "I worked in the same area as Mark over the past couple of years at Booking.com where he was focused on (very successfully) hiring for hard-to-fill, technical roles both in the Accommodations, and Trips Business Units. He jumps at new challenge presented to him and his depth of experience was demonstrated in how quickly, and consistently he delivered results. Mark also recently took ownership of the mobile development craft company wide where he redesigned the legacy process, positively impacting key TA metrics. Results aside - Mark is a personality who any team would be lucky to have on-board.

I fully recommend Mark, looking forward to seeing what he does next!" and "I've had the pleasure of working alongside Mark for the past two years.

    As a Resourcing Business Partner at Capita, my role was to work in close partnership with divisional leadership and management teams to deliver an end-to-end recruitment service. This includes external hiring as well as internal talent movement by managing relationships with candidates, business leaders and key functional stakeholders across my division.My designated division was Capita IT & Networks. Within Capita IT&N, I created recruitment strategies,talent pipelines and resourcing plans for any and all roles that occurred within my sphere of influence.Alongside personally sourcing for CV’s, I also had a shared team of resourcers at my disposal which Imanaged across the full recruitment lifecycle. On rare occasions we also utilised external agenciesif I felt they are better positioned to fill rare and niche vacancies. A large part of this role involved using data and MI to feed back to the business with up-to-dateinformation across the resourcing process. I then used those key metrics to implement the correctstrategies for future recruitment based on previous ratios and statistics, including ‘time to fill’, ‘CV tointerview ratios’ or ‘interview to placement’ data to give a few examples. I fully believe that data iskey to being a successful recruiter and this philosophy was crucial to my success withinthis role.
