About

Recruitment made personal.

We are real recruitment experts who care about getting hiring right. Think of us as your in-house recruiter: whenever a vacancy comes up, you hand it to us and we take care of the advertising, screening and shortlisting, so you can focus on choosing.

Russ Clarke, Owner of Mornington Screening Service

Russ Clarke

Owner

Russ has decades of experience in recruitment. He built MSS for small and medium businesses that are growing fast and whose key executives are time-poor.

"We felt busy executives would value an experienced recruiter to handle the preliminary screening of candidates, and to assist with interviewing on occasion. It also lets us become immersed in a client's business and part of their team."

We are solely motivated by presenting an accurate shortlist. The more we work with you, the deeper our understanding of your business and what makes someone the right fit.

  • Fast turnaround. We are available within 24 hours of being contacted. After a half-hour briefing, your ad goes live.
  • A fixed, known rate. Set at the start of our engagement, and a fraction of the placement fee an agency charges.
  • All levels, all industries. We recruit for roles from around $40k up to $200k plus.
