something holding you back?...

Based on the Sunshine Coast, Mark is the co-founder of URHIRED. He tells people what they need to hear, not just what makes them feel better. Sometimes that's the the same thing - other times it's not. His advice is based on 30 years experience in Human Resources, recruitment, and career coaching, working with candidates across 63 countries. He makes things simple. Fixing what’s not working, and sharpening how people present themselves. 

 An interesting set of circumstances finally lead me to ask Mark for advice around an application and interview. I’m glad I did. The interview preparation was well structured and helped me lay to rest a disastrous interview a couple of years previously. Good sound advice coupled with thoughtful insight.

 Mark has always guided me with my career ever since I moved to Australia. His positive words during the low point of my career filled me with more confidence to achieve the best. I recommend Mark, and will be always thankful to him.

 Mark did a great job for me and gave me valuable advice and guidance. Discussions with Mark prior to an interview provided me with confidence, He was very forthcoming and approachable and shared many insights drawn form his decades of experience.

Just when I needed some advice, I found Mark through his web site. He was incredibly responsive and attentive; he helped me clarify my priorities and guided me through a tricky negotiation. With Mark on my side, I felt well-prepared for taking the steps necessary to supercharge my career. I would definitely seek Mark's wise counsel again in relation to job search and career progression.

Working with Mark has been a delight. He has helped me not only to vastly improve documents I present to prospective employers, but helped me gain confidence in myself so that I can always present my best foot forward during interviews. Mark is always available and is great at distilling down to the essentials to provide targeted feedback. Our debrief meetings, regardless of the result of an application, have been uplifting and prepared me better for the next opportunity. Contact Mark; you won´t regret it!

Mark was initially focused on listening to me to understand where I had been, what I had done and then he set about determining what I needed to move forward. Within two months Mark had my LinkedIn profile rebuilt from scratch and was instrumental in me getting my act together so I could with confidence again resume applying for new roles which eventually saw me land my current position. I consider Mark to be a professional of the highest integrity who provides real solutions coupled with the ongoing support to help maintain focus and achieve set goals and as such I would recommend him to any person that is seeking to improve themselves.

From the very first discussion that I had with Mark I felt completely at ease. This was due in no small way to his candid and insightful, yet empathetic assessment of my experience, and value to a new suitable role. Mark provides honest and very fair advice, which is not sugar coated. His understanding of the environment in which professional, career executives, are operating in allows him to give meaningful advice with regard to profile building, self-branding and of course CV positioning. Perhaps though the characteristic that sets Mark apart, in my opinion, is the fact he genuinely and clearly cares about, and respects the people he is working with, understanding how challenging the whole arena of searching out new roles is in these times . So many coaches and advisors will tell you that they will 'follow up / support you / be with you every step of the way", but the thing with Mark is that he actually does.

Mark is not just a recruiter or a resume writer, he is a career coach that can provide all your career related solutions. My first engagement with Mark was back in 2015 with a personal review of my resume and since then he has played an important role in my career. He is a professional person and understanding of your situation. If you need help with your interview, resume or your professional growth, Mark is a total solution without costing huge money.
