Hi, I’m Melanie

Chasing Talent was founded on the basis that great hires are not just made, they are built on strong relationships, solid partnerships and a deep sense of understanding where the best talent is and the nuances of each industry. With close to two decades of professional search experience behind me I constantly work to elevate the hiring journey, whether you are a jobseeker or a hiring manager.

I am ever mindful that at the core of my business are people, those searching for talent or who are the talent.

I have been fortunate to work with established corporates, high growth firms, start-ups, agencies, consultancies, evolving and transforming business and across various industries including financial services, technology, professional services, insurance, media, advertising, sales, communications, government.

When asked what I do, I am often at a crossroads to explain. Recruitment is a broad term and I am not entirely sure it fully explains the extent to what recruiters do each day.

The best way to describe my profession is constantly seeking; connecting; exploring and finding people at a time in their careers where they are looking for something new. I spend my day reaching out and making connections, delving deep into the market and eyeing out the best there is, keeping my finger on the pulse of who is at the top of their game.

In summing it up, I CHASE TALENT.
