Meet the Team: Rory Cleat

August 2022

Rory Cleat, joined the team during the height of the pandemic and quickly progressed within the business. Today he is one of our Business Delivery Managers and spends much of his time interacting with our valued clients and candidates.

I joined the MM Search team…
In November 2020, which was a strange time to start a new job. Lockdown meant that I didn’t have face-to-face contact with the team but we were always in touch via video calls and everybody was so welcoming.

I decided I wanted to work in recruitment…
After spending some time with Ken and Derek. I had been burnt in the past when looking for jobs myself, however, when Ken and Derek shared their model with me and explained how they were doing things differently, I couldn’t wait to get involved.

The first thing I do when I get to the office is…
Open my laptop and pour a coffee!

My working day involves…
A mix of business development and client delivery. I’m in contact with clients and candidates a lot so I’m often in meetings. I do most of my meetings online now, but sometimes it’s beneficial to be there in person.  

My greatest professional strength is…
I’m very sociable and I love speaking to people and finding out new things.

The highlight of my career so far was when…
I got a promotion within about eight months of joining the MM Search team, which was a brilliant boost.

The thing I love most about working with the MM Search team is…
The working culture. We all work hard but there’s a social side too, the atmosphere in the office is second to none.

When I’m not at work, you’ll usually find me…
On the golf course… or at the 19th hole!

My motto is…
Get rich or die trying!

My goals for the rest of 2022 are to…
Continue to improve in my role. I try to spend lots of time with Ken and Derek so that I can soak in as much of their knowledge and experience as I can.

My secret skill/party piece is…
Dad dancing!

What was the last gift you gave someone?
I was up north staying at a friend’s cottage at the weekend and I took a bottle of Champagne to say thank you.

If you were an animal, what would you be?
A dog because I’m loyal, positive, happy and sociable.

How would your best friend describe you in 3 words?
Funny, caring and sociable.

How would your colleagues describe you in three words? Confident, reliable and a good listener
