MCGS
HR & Talent Advisory
The business that supports your company across everything to do with talent: from a single search to a full structure redesign, compensation and the employee experience.
Talent search and selection, local and international.
How it works
- The company sends the request with its requirement.
- MCGS assesses the level from the responsibilities, salary and other factors, assigns the fixed fee that corresponds and sends the quote to the company for approval.
- We do the sourcing and interview the candidates. Depending on the level and complexity of the role, and as agreed with the client, the interview is a pre-recorded video or face to face with a professional.
- MCGS presents a shortlist with a report on each candidate.
- The offer is confirmed and MCGS communicates it to the candidate.
- Onboarding journey and, for international hires, operational support to set up the contract in Deel.
Two modes
- Search & Selection: Professional, Senior and Lead levels.
- Executive Search: Executive level (Director, VP, C-level).
- Your level follows the salary range you set, and your fee is confirmed before you sign.
What is included
- Recruitment and selection, or executive search.
- Free replacement guarantee: 90 days for Professional and Senior, 120 days for Lead and 180 days for Executive. It is a replacement, not a refund, and applies when the exit is due to performance or resignation and the fee was paid on time.
- 90-day onboarding journey: we support the person hired and stay in touch with the company during the first 90 days. For Executive, 6 months of follow-up.
- Operational support to set up the hire in Deel, only for international hires: create the account, load the data and explain the options and costs. For local hires there is no support at this step, because the person is hired directly by the company. Whether the person is a contractor or an employee is your decision, and MCGS does not advise on it.
Fee and payment
- A fixed fee by level, never a percentage of salary.
- If the final salary changes, the fee does not.
- Niche or complex roles may carry a surcharge. It is agreed in the initial diagnosis, before signing, and never in the middle of a search.
- Professional, Senior and Lead: 30% at the start (non-refundable) and 70% when the offer is accepted.
- Executive: three equal payments, at the start, when the shortlist is presented and when the offer is accepted.
- We do not publish prices: request a quote and we send it to you.

Organisation design, job architecture, job descriptions, workforce planning, policies and process documentation.
How it works
- We review how your organisation runs today: structure, roles, processes and data.
- We identify the gaps between the current structure and where the business is going.
- We design the job architecture, the descriptions and the workforce plan.
- We support the rollout and leave you the documentation to maintain it.
Salary benchmarking against the market, compensation bands, benefits audit and design, total compensation strategy.
How it works
- We define the scope with you: benchmarking, bands, benefits or full strategy.
- We gather market data and cross it with your reality and your budget.
- We propose compensation bands and a sustainable benefits scheme.
- We support the communication and the rollout.
Pre-onboarding and onboarding programmes, organisational climate and culture.
How it works
- We map the employee journey, from before they join to the day to day.
- We identify the moments that weigh most on climate and retention.
- We design the pre-onboarding, onboarding and experience programmes.
- We implement with your team and measure the effect.
Audit of your HR function, process diagnostics, change management and support for adopting artificial intelligence.
How it works
- We audit your people processes and their maturity level.
- We prioritise with you what to solve first and with what impact.
- We support the rollout, including adopting artificial intelligence where it applies.
- We measure, adjust and leave you installed capacity.
How a consulting project works
This is how our consulting projects work, in any area of talent. Talent search and selection has its own process.
- We listen. A first conversation to understand where things are failing and how the problem looks from your side.
- We agree the scope. We define with you what the diagnosis covers and what you will receive. If you later want us to implement, that is agreed separately.
- We diagnose. We review your documentation and manuals and, when needed, interview the people who work with the processes. If an important document does not exist, that is also a finding. A person from your company is our counterpart.
- We name what matters. The report brings together the findings, the analysis of your current situation and the possible root causes of the problem you described to us. Each conclusion states its source, so nothing is assumed.
- We deliver. We present the findings to your team and deliver a package: the report, the implementation guides with the indicators we suggest and the expected results of each one, and a handover record.
MCGS
Workforce Australia
We support companies operating in Australia with the search for operational staff: warehousing, production, hospitality, cleaning, construction, care and more. We keep our own base of candidates, verified on work rights, licences and availability. When you request staff, we present only the profiles that passed that filter, ready to start. The candidate is hired directly by your company, in permanent or temporary roles.
How it works
- The company sends the shift or role requirement.
- We match it against our pool, already verified on work rights, licences and availability.
- If roles remain open, we run the search and verify the new candidates.
- We pre-screen those who qualify and confirm their availability for the shift.
- We present the profiles that passed the filter and the company coordinates the start.
If you need people
Send the shift requirement and receive verified, available candidates.

BENEX
A benefits network for your team. We build partnerships with wellbeing, health, quality-of-life and other providers to put together a package with preferential terms.

How it works
- The company tells us what it wants for its team and its size.
- We build a package proposal with providers from the network.
- The company chooses the package it wants to offer.
- We manage the relationship with the providers.

Business Bridge
We connect you with a vetted service provider in Latin America, for when building an internal team or opening a subsidiary does not make sense yet: marketing, technology, finance, design, accounting and more. We stay alongside you through the integration and the start-up, for as long as is agreed in each case. We do not run the service: we are the bridge of trust and your partner at the start.
What we do
- Selection of specialised service providers in Latin America, and vetting of both parties: the company requesting the service and the provider offering it.
- Provider introduction and support with the agreement.
- Support through the transition and alignment.
- We are your partner in the integration and the start-up.
How it works
- The company describes the service capacity it needs.
- We present vetted providers in Colombia or Latin America that fit.
- The company chooses the provider.
- We stay alongside the integration and the start-up, for as long as is agreed in each case.

Sign inHow we support each project
Every company is different, so we do not arrive with a template. What does not change is how we work: first we understand, then we propose. We agree the scope of the service with you. We do it remotely, with clear checkpoints. And when we finish, your team can carry on without us.

MCGS
MCGS is a talent management ecosystem that brings together recruitment, an employee benefits network in Australia and Colombia, verified service partners in Colombia for local and international companies that would rather outsource a specific service than build an internal team or open a subsidiary, and courses and masterclasses on talent and entrepreneurship, all coordinated by the same team. We handle the search, the verification and the coordination, so talent, teams and structure should not slow your operation down.
It is led by Mayron Carreno, Managing Director of MCGS: he holds a master's in Human and Organizational Development from EAFIT, is an HR Advisor with an assessment validated by VETASSESS in Australia, and has experience leading local and international teams. Each service is set up with clear terms from the start. Talent searches include a guarantee: if the person does not work out within 90 days, we replace them.
