OUR VALUES Different by Design
OVERVIEW
Founded in 2007, MRG is an international group of specialist recruitment businesses focused on leadership appointments across real estate and facilities management, development and infrastructure. Through services including retained search, interim executives and recruitment as a service, we support global businesses and iconic institutions across sectors including arts and culture, education, government, healthcare and life sciences, hospitality and leisure, industrial, infrastructure, office, retail and more. With trading offices in the UK and Malaysia and resourcing offices in South Africa and Australia, we’re growing rapidly. For us, it’s about getting it right rather than getting it over the line. It’s about unbiased processes rather than ‘a little black book of contacts’. And it’s about meaningful sector knowledge rather than gut feel. Ultimately, that focus on process and detail makes us better to work with, better to work for, and far more likely to complete assignments successfully at the first time of asking.
Relentless
Stopping at nothing to get the job done. Your uniqueness deserves more than an off-the-shelf approach. Being relentless is about never giving up. It’s about overcoming challenges. Ultimately, that means it’s driven by enthusiasm and energy – you can’t be relentless without being positive.
Inventive
Finding new ways to solve issues unique to every organisation. At the same time, it’s clear that we’re inventive . We’re constantly finding new solutions to stubborn problems. These are problems that others often can’t solve; problems that can’t be tackled with an off-the-shelf approach.
Forensic
Known for spotting the details that others may have missed. We’re forensic in many ways, and for many reasons. Our briefings are exhaustive, our work is detail-obsessed and our mistakes are minimal. We know our processes and our sectors inside-out – and that’s largely why our placement success rate is unusually high.
Inclusive
Open, fair and diverse by design.
Unlike many companies,we’re inclusive by design. Our competency-based process is built to remove bias.
WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT
OUR PORTFOLIO
We’re in a period of consist- ent growth, and it stems from our reputation for delivering results. A REPUTATION FOR RESULTS
Our portfolio of clients speaks for itself. We’re trust- ed by the world’s most pres- tigious organizations. 80% of our work in 2022 was repeat business
OUR 96%
NO BETTER PR THAN GOOD WORK So we’ll continue focusing on what we’re good at, and let our growing reputation do the rest.
Our completion rate on assignments is exception- ally high for a market where the right person is extremely hard to find – let alone at - tract.

OUR APPROACH
Intelligence: We utilise TEIQue Emotional Intelligence reporting as a tool when dealing with people-oriented appointments. Developing these skills is critical in the workplace, with strong emotional intelligence being linked to high performance. Understanding how candidates manage their own emotions and those of others, and how they may respond to stress or change, is a valuable insight for anyone looking to make a strategic hire.
Forensic in our approach to candidate assessment and analysis.
Candidate assessment and analysis is essential in ensuring that the very highest calibre of candidates are taken forward to interview stage and reduce unconscious bias. MRG’s aim is to make our process based on data and evidence. It’s to assess the whole range of candidates’ abilities, looking beyond the CV and years of prior experience. We make decisions based on three areas of candidate assessment – Behaviours, Intelligence and Competencies/ Experiences.
Competency Based Assessment: Using MRG’s bespoke Weighted Selection Matrix drives decisions to be made based on evidence and data, rather than gut feeling and assumption. The role is broken down into agreed weighted competencies which candidates are assesses against, with supporting evidence given and clear, precise information provided. The Selection Matrix ensures that selection is both robust and auditable and provides the client with a tool to compare and contrast candidate’s skills, measuring those skills not only against the experience criteria, but against the skills and experience of other candidates.

Behaviours : PPA is a personality test which enables employers to evaluate a candidates' character traits in a more in-depth way to determine whether they will be a suitable fit for a role as well as how they prefer to communicate with others.
