Mark enjoys speaking with a wide variety of people from all backgrounds and working to pair them with the best companies and positions he has available. He also thrives on building relaxed and professional relationships with his clients. Mark graduated from the University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK with a degree in politics. For the three years prior to joining Smith Hanley, Mark ran his own recruitment business where he worked with qualified American teachers to secure them new positions in UK schools. He was drawn to Smith Hanley because of the friendly and professional feeling of the place. Mark believes recruiters at SHA really care about the candidates they work with and take care in finding the right match. He says, It is a fresh relief from the 'over-salesy' approach that many firms in this industry take.
