Assess
An onsite audit of how you hire today, with every stage benchmarked and every number measured, so change can be seen rather than claimed.
Human Capital Consultancy
Nobody taught your team how to hire.
Melleo.Global puts structure into how businesses hire. We audit how you hire today, build the framework, up-skill your hiring managers, deliver in-person hiring excellence workshops, then hand you a recruitment function that runs without us.

What we do
We are not a recruitment agency.
We implement a robust recruitment process in your business. Here is why.
If you hired ten people today into one function, hand on heart, how many would still be in post in twelve months? Most businesses land on 6 or 7. The four who leave cost around £175,000 each on a £50,000 salary.
That is rarely a reflection on the people doing the hiring. Most businesses have no defined recruitment process, so every manager works to their own method and every method produces the same 30-40% failure rate. Every other £175,000 decision in the business has a process, and so should recruitment.
Build
We build it with you: the process, the documents, the tech, the training and the reporting that shift how your managers hire and keep improving it.
Embed
We coach your managers on live roles, make hiring visible through reporting, then hand the whole thing over. You own it, run it and keep it.
The Recruitment Mindset Model
Level 4 (or above) is the standard.
It’s where smart businesses operate by design. Accepting anything less is costing your business considerable commercial downtime and money.

The team
Who you will be working with.
Paul Hickey
Founder & Managing Director
More than twenty years in international recruitment and talent consulting, working alongside growing businesses to attract, secure and retain people.
My work has rarely been about filling vacancies. It is about what sits underneath them: how roles are defined, how candidates are assessed, how offers are made, and what happens between someone accepting and completing probation.
I have built and exited recruitment and technology businesses, so I have been on both sides of the hiring decision. I approach human capital commercially and sympathetically, having been in your shoes.
Plamen Ivanoff
Co-Founder
Thirty years of founding, building and exiting businesses, the last twenty in recruitment and recruitment technology, and a licensed interpreter of human behaviour.
“Most hiring decisions are based on skill and knowledge, which is the smaller part of what determines whether someone succeeds. The larger part is behaviour, and behaviour can be evidenced rather than guessed at, provided you know what you are looking for.”
James O’Brien
Co-Founder
Twenty years spent building international recruitment operations, and the years since spent training the people who run them.
“Most hiring problems announce themselves late, at offer stage or in the first six months, but they start much earlier, in how the role was defined and who was in the room at the time.”
