WHO ARE MRG?
Launched in London in 2007, MRG is now a globally renowned executive search company , dedicated primarily to leadership appointments in Real Estate, Facilities and Development across a range of sectors. In 2019 MRG opened its first international office in Asia and is looking ahead with two more global offices opening later this year. There are also resourcing teams based in Australia and South Africa sourcing talent on a global scale. By the end of 2023 MRG will be on-the-ground in four continents. Under the MRG Group sit two niche brands
launched in 2019; Bid Recruitment and University People. Bid Recruitment specialise in recruiting bids, marketing, communications and business development professionals, whilst University People is dedicated to recruiting professional service leaders for higher education institutions. Our group headcount grew by 40% in 2022, an accomplishment in economically unsettled times. We believe this is due to the fact we offer something different to our candidates, clients and internal employees. We call it being deliberately ‘Different by Design’. We also hold our Four Core Values at the heart of how we do business.
IN SUMMARY: MRG’S VIEW
The world has changed and continues to change at an unprecedented rate. Combined with this break-neck pace of transformation is a challenging economic forecast for 2023. These stressors have caused a series of concerns in the hiring world, namely: candidate availability, the hiring journey, the expanded candidate wish-list, plus the digitalisation of the hiring process. MRG prides itself on rapidly adapting to the new landscape by embracing change. This attitude of agility has resulted in new assessment tools, new digital technology and embracing new EDI values. Simultaneously, we have held fast to the MRG core values, to be relentless, forensic, inclusive
and inventive. Throughout this whitepaper you may have noticed nods to our values. This is because our values are not empty gestures – they define our approach to practical solutions for real problems in the hiring industry. The overarching example of this values approach to problem solving in recruitment is that we are relentless and inventive in our pursuit of quality candidates for our clients and then forensic and inclusive in our vetting processes. The result is a positive client experience and 80% of our business in 2022 was return business. The hybrid approach, whereby we embrace the new, yet hold fast to our values is the reason for our success and why we describe our business and our people as ‘Different by Design’.
MRG’S FOUR CORE VALUES
RELENTLESS Search and Selection is rarely easy. Being Relentless is about doing the hard yards to get an assignment to the right conclusion. It’s about overcoming challenges. Ultimately, it’s means we’re driven by enthusiasm and energy and a pride in the work that we do.
FORENSIC We are Forensic in our approach to candidate assessment and analysis and we pride ourselves on spotting the details that others may miss. Our briefings and our research are exhaustive and our work is detail-obsessed. We are process driven and data led. We look for evidence and proof to back up what we believe.
INCLUSIVE We believe that diverse ideas and experience builds better teams and better teams make better businesses so our approach to recruitment is open, fair and objective. This hasn’t happened by accident, we’re Inclusive by design. Everyone at MRG has undertaken unconscious bias training and the MRG Matrix system eliminates bias from our process. We also try really hard to be a great place to work and a place where people can bring their whole selves to work. Our people are our best asset, and it makes sense to invest in, and look after your best asset.
INVENTIVE We love finding new ways to solve issues unique to every assignment. And that’s because we’re Inventive. We understand the world of recruitment inside out and this knowledge is instrumental in finding new answers to stubborn problems. We encourage new ideas and our Business Improvement Group seeks to embrace change.
MRG is a values-driven business – and those values underpin everything we do. While being agile in a modern world is the right course, at MRG we have and always will hold fast to our values Simon Cheshire, CEO & Founder, MRG
