Colin McKay

Travel Junkie With An Eye For Detail

Originally from Inverness, Colin studied law at the University of Aberdeen after abandoning his childhood aspirations of being a professional footballer.

He embarked on his career with us back in 2005 as a trainee consultant in the Accountancy & Finance specialism. After moving on to pastures new in 2007, he has now come full circle, returning to TMM Recruitment in April 2021 to focus on our IT specialism.

In the meantime, Colin gained a broad range of recruitment experience in a variety of sectors, including financial services and healthcare, as well as forays into teaching and the travel industry.

A passion for travel – he's visited over 50 countries – has led Colin to some far-flung locations, settling at various times in Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Glasgow!

Psychometric Assessment (PPA)

Colin has naturally strong interpersonal skills and, as a detail-orientated person, he strives to reach the perfect solution. A good listener who develops relationships and trust in others, he's fair in all his dealings, taking a logical approach to see a job through to a conclusion.

From the minute Colin proposed the job role to me he was fully supportive in preparing me for the interview process, he kept in touch throughout and provided frequent updates. I couldn’t fault his service, truly 5 star.

From the point of being put forward, I didn't have to email Colin once, he kept in touch on a regular basis, offering help and support and checking in before and after interviews. He is a genuine credit to TMM and an absolute topper of a bloke as well.
