Iain brings close to two decades of recruitment experience, with more than 750 placements across the UK, EU, and Australia. He has a comprehensive understanding of the IT landscape, from legacy systems underpinning traditional finance to the latest blockchain and AI technologies. Known for his ability to engage passive talent, he designs tailored recruitment processes that balance thorough vetting with a high-quality candidate experience. He is a trusted recruitment partner to global fintechs, investment banks, law firms, Big 4 consultancies, and high-growth startups.

A key strength is his ability to solve the talent challenges others walk away from — whether that means navigating niche skill sets, hard-to-reach markets, or complex stakeholder environments.

Based in the Northern Illawarra, Iain enjoys trail running and making the most of the coastal lifestyle. A long-suffering Tottenham Hotspur supporter, he brings a sense of loyalty and perspective to both his work and personal life, and values spending time with his family above all.

Matt has spent seven years building specialist recruitment expertise in the Sydney market, with more than 250 placements to his name and a focus on Data and AI talent. He works at the technical edge of the market, placing candidates who are shaping how organisations build, govern and scale their data and AI capability rather than filling generic headcount.

Recently, Matt has built out AI teams for organisations including PwC, Cushman & Wakefield and Macquarie Bank — work that demands a genuine grasp of the technical landscape, not just a list of keywords. He's known across the industry for the depth of his market knowledge and for the level of care he brings to both clients and candidates, treating every placement as a long-term relationship rather than a transaction.
