Marc MacDonald

Marc is a driven and accomplished professional who started his career in the fitness industry. As a personal trainer, he honed his skills and eventually established his own successful business. Marc's dedication and hard work led him to progress into gym management and sales, where he spent 7 years working within leisure clubs. His passion for delivering exceptional customer experiences and his expertise in fitness eventually led him to become a General Manager within a large chain gym in Inverness.

Although Marc demonstrated great leadership, with the ability to motivate and inspire his team, the COVID-19 pandemic sadly forced the closure of the gym, prompting Marc to pivot his career. He decided to transition into recruitment, where he quickly excelled as an associate consultant, leveraging his strong interpersonal and sales skills to build his desk successfully. Marc's talent and exceptional performance led to a quick promotion to Managing Consultant within two years.

Marc joined Global Highland in April 2023 as Recruitment Manager within the Industrial Sector, providing first-class service to clients and candidates. Marc works closely with clients to understand their recruitment needs, developing customised recruitment solutions. He’s also responsible for identifying and sourcing talent, screening, and interviewing candidates, and providing guidance and support throughout the recruitment process.

Outside of work, Marc is passionate about his family and football. He played in the Highland League for ten years and now plays for his local Junior League team. Additionally, Marc's fitness expertise has even taken him to the big screen, where he worked with Tilda Swinton and Marvel for the movie Dr. Strange.
