Powered by Data & Insight

At Manners Maclean, we recognise the value of research, analysis, and insight in making informed business decisions. Our Talent Intelligence forms the foundation of our business, empowering us to create live 'pools' of pre-screened passive candidates and gather valuable market insights. Our research team, armed with the latest technology, constantly interacts with industry professionals and conducts comprehensive research, collecting valuable information and trends that benefit our clients. By leveraging this data and insight, we help clients adapt and maintain a competitive edge by making well-informed decisions and staying ahead of the curve.

A Unique Methodology: MATHS

Our strategic and outcome-based methodology, known as MATHS, combines data, insight, and intelligent talent solutions to improve your business's ability to recruit and retain top talent.
