About Us.

Our Story.

It all began at a fateful jury duty meeting in England back in 2011. Having worked together ever since, our founders Jenna and Owen enjoyed fast-track careers at a large multinational recruitment company before launching the London practice for a small boutique firm. Bored of age-old thinking and seeing many recruitment startups dust off the same old handbook, they launched Mackie Myers in 2021 to challenge convention and set about building a great recruitment business. Following strong organic growth in the UK, Mackie Myers USA was launched in 2025 in collaboration with long-term colleague, Joe Harris.
 

Our Mission.

Mackie Myers is a modern, forward-thinking recruitment partner that cares about the wellbeing of its team, clients and commercial partners, as well as the communities in which we operate. We firmly believe that being in the right job and having the right team around you is essential to success and happiness – both in and outside of the workplace. By prioritising people and planet over profit, and by promoting inclusion, sustainability, and continuous improvement, we seek to build better futures, one placement at a time.
