Mark Shortall Director, Tech
I can’t call myself a Founder and take myself seriously, but I’ve spent the last few years building something I’m really proud of.
Over the years, I’ve built a team and taken on embedded in-house projects, helping scale People & Talent teams globally for companies like Deliveroo, Checkout.com, Personio, Adyen, Miro, Spendesk, TravelPerk, Typeform, Andela, Doctolib, and Beat (part of FreeNow).
The more complex the project, the more excited I am to take it on. I love working with companies that have a high hiring bar, where quality matters more than just speed or transactional recruiting.
While People & Talent is our niche, we’ve also taken on searches outside of it when the client is great to work with. If I believe in their mission and know I can add value, I'm happy to help.
Alex Simonovska Talent Lead, Embedded
I’ve been in recruitment for more than 6 years, and I’ve helped companies in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and the USA to grow their international teams.
I’m passionate about finding solutions with a systematic approach, sharing knowledge, and building processes from scratch.
Kristina Ivanovska Talent Partner, Embedded
As a Talent Partner at Rework, I specialise in scaling HR and Talent Acquisition teams across Europe, collaborating with VC-backed tech companies to help them build world-class teams.
What I love most about recruitment is the diversity - no two days are ever the same, and I'm constantly learning new things. I'm always on the lookout for new technology tools and AI-powered solutions that can help me work smarter and more efficiently.
You can usually find me travelling, hiking, or reading when I'm not working. I'm a bit of a bookworm, so if you have any recommendations, please send them my way!
