Taking pride in recruitment
How a father saw his son’s recruitment career
On The Value of Recruitment Podcast this week I spoke with Matthew Wragg, CEO of Gattaca PLC, parent company of STEM recruitment specialists Matchtech.
Matt talks about the importance of taking pride in recruitment, and how the perception of our industry is changing - even down to how his dad talks about what his son does for a living.
We talk about how Matt has created a unified brand identity, and the importance of understanding the ‘why’ before rolling out a big change in a business.
We also talk about how large recruitment agencies can still be niche experts, how to balance standardised process and personal flair, and why Matt doesn’t believe in industrialising personality and emotional intelligence.

This really resonated with me. I've worked in talent acquisiton for years and the tension between standardizing processes and maintaining that personal touch is real. The part about not industrialzing personality hits home, especially when so many firms are trying to scale without losing what makes them unique. Dunno many agencies that get this balance right.
