Mark Shortall Founder & Leadership Talent Partner

Hiring in HR and TA is harder than most people think it is. I’m just here trying to make it a bit easier for everyone involved.

I've spent the last 15+ years building high-performing People and Talent teams for tech companies across Europe. I've worked in a mix of agencies, in-house with Facebook and embedded for scale-up projects for companies like Deliveroo, Checkout.com, Personio, Miro, Adyen, Spendesk, Typeform and Andela.

Born in London, raised in Dublin, and I'm now trying to be as remote as possible. Rework is the only child I'll have, so I spend way too much time thinking about it. I've made a lot of mistakes along the way, but it's mostly been fun and gone way better than I ever imagined.

Don't ask me about my hobbies or interests. It makes me nervous.

I refuse to record any podcasts, and I struggle with attending events, but Hung Lee convinced me to share more about myself once.

Alex Simonovska Talent Partner Lead

I’ve been in recruitment for more than 6 years, and I’ve helped companies in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and the USA to grow their international teams.

I’m passionate about finding solutions with a systematic approach, sharing knowledge, and building processes from scratch.

Kristina Ivanovska Talent Partner

As a Talent Partner at Rework, I specialise in scaling HR and Talent Acquisition teams across Europe, collaborating with VC-backed tech companies to help them build world-class teams.

What I love most about recruitment is the diversity - no two days are ever the same, and I'm constantly learning new things. I'm always on the lookout for new technology tools and AI-powered solutions that can help me work smarter and more efficiently.

You can usually find me travelling, hiking, or reading when I'm not working. I'm a bit of a bookworm, so if you have any recommendations, please send them my way!
