Our Story
Finding the right people is hard. Retaining the right people, is even harder. As a recruitment agency based in Malta, we have dedicated ourselves to matching the right candidate with the right client for over the past 10 years.
While the job market gets more and more competitive, talent is even tougher to find. At MRecruitment, we offer different recruitment options to cater for the different needs of our clients. Our clientele come from various industries including, hospitality, catering, leisure, warehousing, fashion retail, food retail, gaming, medical and healthcare. As services, we offer both subcontracted and direct recruitment/employment.
As our client base grew, so did the number of our subcontracted employees – starting with just one employee, at present we have around 200 subcontracted employees placed with clients all across Malta and Gozo. With many of our candidates being third country nationals (providing excellent service quality from experience gained working with top hotel chains and resorts in places like UAE and Qatar), we also have our own inhouse work permit and visa applications team to help assist our candidates with their application and relocation process. This service is also offered B2B through our one-stop-shop service for work permit processing called, ‘Permit Hub’ Whether it’s a direct position or subcontracted one, our clients and our candidates’ interests are at the forefront of our operations. With a dedicated team of 11 people, including experienced recruiters who are always on the lookout for exceptional talent, our agency has managed to live up to its ethos. Going forward, our 3 main pillars will continue to be:-
Integrity & Trust
We know that employers seek values in the employees that they hire. So we do our utmost to source, assess and select the most suited candidates possible who demonstrate moral and ethical principles at work. We also know that employees want to work with people they can trust, hence our recruitment process is carried out with maximum discretion. -
Innovative Approach
As an agency, we are always researching the most innovative ways to generate leads and acquire useful information about potential candidates. We plan ahead to cater not just for current recruitment needs but also needs in the near future based on predicted market conditions – this enables us to locate and identify prospects long before our clients actually need them. Hence, when the right time comes, we have an available list of a potential pool of good quality candidates ready to be passed on to the relevant client. -
Diversity and Inclusion
As an agency, given they have the right qualifications and /or expertise, our candidates are sourced from all across the globe. This means that ethnicity, race, religious beliefs, culture, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, neurodiversity - have no bearing on our decision-making or shortlisting. Our criteria for selection are related to the applicant’s experience, skill, behaviour and their ambition to succeed in the process. We strongly believe that a diverse workforce can actually enrich an organisation’s skillset on the whole, given that the differences are celebrated and accepted mutually.

Founder and CEO
Duncan Fenech
I’m Duncan and as the Founder and CEO of M Recruitment, I take a vision and make it a reality by intuitively seeing the threads of opportunity that wind through the company and bring them together into a coherent whole. With nearly a decade in the role, I love to help others extend their thinking and become better at what they enjoy doing. On a personal note, I like cooking, listening to rock music and spending time with my family. Chief Operations Officer
Martin Spiteri
Hi I’m Martin and I joined M Recruitment over few years ago as an Operations Manager and now I am Chief Operations Officer. With around 30 years of experience within the hospitality sector, I am considered to be a veteran. Many will agree that I am quite a perfectionist at heart and also have a driving force to succeed. In my free time, I like to put on a good movie – a classic favourite is ‘Les Miserables’ or doing an activity with my family. When I want to unwind, I enjoy spending time with my young daughter, doing outdoor activities. I’m also quite the whisky enthusiast – I like learning about the different expressions, the production methods and collecting items related to whisky. Some of the best trips overseas were in fact visiting distilleries in Scotland with my wife. For any recruitment inquiries or related information, I can be reached at [email protected].

Hi, my name is Adriana, I am Venezuelan and I recently joined M Recruitment as an Administrative Assistant within the Permit Team. I have a total of 12 years’ experience within the HR industry and have been with M Recruitment since October 2021. To unwind I like listening to different music genres like K pop, Jazz, boss and nova amongst others, as well as, going on hikes. My all-time favourite movie is ‘The Croods’ because I really like the concept of change and adaption challenges amongst society. My family back home consists of my mother, father as well as a brother and a sister. They describe me as an understanding individual which I found to be an essential characteristic when working with people. Human Resources Senior Executive

I started my journey in Hospitality whereby I have gained 13 years of experience, and am now on a new journey focused towards HR. In my free time I enjoy swimming and walking my dogs in the park. When I’m at home, I like to relax watching a good movie such as Harry Potter and listening to classic rock to unwind. I would describe myself as a pragmatic person, as I like to deal with things practically and realistically rather than making theoretical considerations. I have also been told I am chatty and have an infectious laugh. I consider myself to be a positive person and always try to look for the silver lining, in any situation. My family is a priority for me and the fact that people feel they can be themselves around me, is very important to me. I currently live with my fiance and our two cheeky but adorable dogs Jack and Mazli. Junior Office Administrator

Chef de PartiI’ve been with Mrecruitment since 2019, during the pandemic they were able to provide jobs to all of the staff. The situation was difficult but they kept us with them and didn’t make us redundant or cancel our contracts as some other companies did. They also offered me assistance in every way possible way when I had issues with identity Malta. When my application was denied, they immediately put me in contact with their lawyer, and we appealed soon after. The process was long, but in the end, I received approval as I had been hoping for. -
