Lumac Recruitment

Lu Mac Recruitment and Consulting is a South African recruitment and consulting business founded by Leigh Maccallum, who brings what the company calls a unique blend of interpersonal skills, industry knowledge and business acumen to recruitment. Her career spans multiple industries, and the company says that breadth is what allows it to understand the intricacies of different businesses and identify the qualities that make a candidate the right fit. Lu Mac describes itself as building on a foundation of sales and account management, listening to what clients need and using its network to source candidates with the skills, experience and cultural fit for long term success. Leigh Maccallum's stated belief is that effective recruitment goes beyond matching qualifications on paper and is about finding candidates who align with an organisation's values and aspirations.

The company names three areas where it can connect employers with people: electronic security, FMCG and production, and generic administrative roles. Its FMCG expertise sits in retail, promotions and account management, and covers all aspects of promotions from on site and off site consumption to team management. Leigh Maccallum personally managed Pick n Pay, Makro and Bidfood from a national key account perspective in retail, which she says gave her extensive knowledge of merchandising, stock rotation and promotion cycles. Before FMCG she worked in electronic security, knowing that industry from a sales and service perspective as well as a technical one, and noting that technicians can either boost or burn a company's reputation.

Alongside recruitment, Lu Mac offers professional CV formatting and business consulting, providing strategic guidance and insight to help organisations navigate talent acquisition, customer focus, team building and organisational development. That holistic approach is meant to align a client's recruitment effort with its business goals, leading to stronger teams and increased productivity. The company's approach is characterised by integrity, professionalism and a relentless pursuit of excellence, and it says clients are in the hands of an industry expert committed to lasting partnerships. Leigh Maccallum spent over 20 years in customer relationships across many industries before opening her own staffing and consulting business, and describes her pursuit as finding gems with a great work ethic.
