Anthony McCormack

I am Macstaff's Founding Consultant and Author of Job Search Job Done, Anthony McCormack. I've enjoyed success in the staffing and recruitment industry in North America, UK and Europe for 15+ years.

In terms of a potted history, I graduated from Nottingham Trent University in 1996 and, in truth, ‘fell’ into recruitment, which has been my passion and profession ever since. I cut my teeth in driving and industrial recruitment with Securicor recruitment services, now Randstad, where I learned to work hard, act quickly and give great customer service. I moved for career development in 1999 into specialist recruitment with Synergy, majoring in Facilities Management, where I developed skills in contingency permanent recruitment and executive search. From 2002 to 2016, I worked with Hays PLC, where I honed my leadership skills, fulfilling roles of Business Manager, Division Manager and Branch Manager, without ever leaving the ‘sharp-end’ as a recruitment consultant, successfully filling jobs and placing candidates, which is, in my mind, the ‘magic’ in recruitment.

Founding Macstaff, a high impact recruitment company, in 2016 was the fulfillment of a dream I have held over the years, and at time of writing Macstaff is approaching its first birthday.

Over my career to date, I’ve worked with literally thousands of skilled, technical, management and executive-level professionals in the context of job search, job change, career transition or whatever else you want to call it. I've also regularly heard terrible advice being touted by self-titled Gurus in the area of job search and knew I had to create something better.

You are literally about to read my next career chapter, which is to publish a book, giving practical job search advice to everyone with ambition. So based on my 15+ years at the sharp end of recruitment, I've penned Job Search Job Done as your winners' guide to job search success!

So if you want to nail your job search, produce a winning CV, make social media your best friend, win with a recruiter, smash your next interview, rise above rejection, get your salary on the money, negotiate like a champ, resign right, avoid counterproductive counter offers, settle into a new job, see the big career picture, (or all of the above), then this book is for YOU!

Make sure that, when it comes to job search, that you get the job done!
