Mary Rose Magnaye, Recruitment Manager at hammerjack, on Finding the Right Fit: How Recruitment Builds Business Success

Hiring isn’t just about filling seats. It’s about finding the right people for the right roles—and making sure they stick around to grow with the business. 

As someone who works closely with clients and candidates every day, I’ve seen what happens when recruitment is done right. I’ve also seen what happens when it’s rushed, misaligned, or based purely on credentials. The difference? Long-term business success. 

Here’s how we make recruitment work smarter—not harder. 

 

  1. Don’t Just Hire for Skills—Hire for Fit

Technical ability matters, but it’s not everything. We look at how well someone will adapt to the team, the tools, and the company’s way of working. 

✔ Culture fit and work ethic can’t be trained 

✔ Soft skills matter—especially in remote and hybrid teams 

✔ Ask behavioural questions, not just technical ones 

 

  1. Speed Matters, But Not at the Cost of Quality

Hiring fast is important—but not if it leads to poor matches or early attrition. We focus on fast turnarounds that don’t compromise on alignment. 

✔ Pre-screening helps cut down wasted interviews 

✔ Clear job briefs lead to better matches from the start 

✔ Regular check-ins with hiring managers keep things on track 

 

  1. Offshore Doesn’t Mean Off-Culture

Just because a role is offshore doesn’t mean the employee should feel disconnected. Our recruitment process includes cultural onboarding and communication touchpoints from the start. 

✔ We prepare candidates with client-specific expectations 

✔ Orientation includes tools, tone, and communication guidelines 

✔ We match people who work well across time zones and cultures 

 

  1. Recruitment Doesn’t Stop at Day One

Placement is just the beginning. Ongoing support, feedback, and adjustment are part of keeping the right people in the right roles. 

✔ We stay in touch after placement for onboarding support 

✔ Recruiters collaborate with client success teams 

✔ Feedback from both sides helps improve future hires 

 

Recruitment isn’t just a transaction—it’s a long-term partnership. When you hire with purpose, you don’t just build teams—you build momentum. 

We don’t just look for talent at hammerjack. We look for people who will excel, contribute, and grow with our clients. That’s where the real value starts.
