From Satellite to Powerhouse:
Building a Dream Team in Manchester for MSM
In 2017, our partnership with MoneySuperMarket began when the team, having achieved success with various offices in the past, established a satellite office in Manchester.
Leveraging a successful placement of a Product Director, Billy (the account manager) and his team impressed the CTO and Recruitment team with our talent scouting skills. This led to an initial collaboration where we provided valuable insights into the talent market and identified top candidates for critical roles across the organisation in areas like:
Engineering
Product
Design
Testing/QA
Fast Track to Top Tech Talent:
How We Streamlined MoneySuperMarket's Hiring
By building strong relationships with MoneySuperMarket's Talent Acquisition team and fully engrossing ourselves into everything the brand was up to, we were able to identify ideal tech talent quickly and efficiently. Our collaborative approach and constant communication have made us a trusted partner, consistently attracting top diverse candidates.
We weren't just filling seats though – we provided talent during critical transitions and directly contributed to their rebrand, expansion, and the launch of their ground-breaking tech platform. Our teamwork helped MSM grow from a team of 40 to over 300 strong!
Cracking the Code
Through our collaborative efforts, and regularly communicating with MSM's internal recruiter, we created a winning formula of attracting and hiring top, diverse talent that struck gold time and time and time again.
The foundation of this success story lay in the power of teamwork making the dream work. MoneySuperMarket had a unique approach to recruiting talent, and as soon as we noticed it, we quickly seized the opportunity to create a synergy unique to us.
Expanding the Partnership
Our collaborative spirit extends beyond recruitment. Today, we enjoy a close working relationship with MSM, allowing us to host several "manc.js" networking events – catering to JavaScript programmers and software development enthusiasts – right within their offices!

"Billy and the MRJ team are exceptional recruitment partners. Billy partnered as a 3rd party supplier to Moneysupermarket Group and played a huge part in scaling out our Manchester product engineering hub. Year on year Billy provided support across all of our engineering vacancies, predominantly Backend, Frontend, QA and DevOps roles, with string delivery on the more senior roles.
I was particularly impressed with the focus Billy put in to ensuring we had a diverse pipeline and strong market insight, backed by real data. Billy is passionate about the candidate experience which makes him a great business partner and can be trusted to be an extension of your brand.
Billy and the MRJ team are one of the best agencies I have ever partnered with. I whole heartedly can not recommend Billy enough to any business in Manchester that is going through a digital transformation."
