Musings on Our Industry

This is where I share my take on recruitment and executive search. Some posts may be rambling, some fleeting, but all (I hope) worth considering.

At TalentHub we’re building an AI-first business, so naturally I’m curious about how our industry will change as AI takes hold.

I’ll post on three core topics:

  • Recruitment

  • Artificial Intelligence

  • Our Platform

If you’re a recruiter who knows how to win trust from clients and candidates, and any of this resonates, reach out. I’d be happy to share more about what we’re building.

Compliant Use Of ChatGPT

ChatGPT isn’t just a productivity tool — it’s a compliance risk hiding in plain sight. “Export Data” means anyone on your team can pull entire datasets with a single click. For recruiters, that could mean CVs, salaries, and client details out the door. Encryption won’t save you — only trust policies, smart access controls, and API-driven setups will. AI adoption is inevitable, but without compliance, it’s a liability.

Who Am I and Why Listen?

I’m Murray Clarke — Co-Founder and Chief Recruiter at TalentHub. I’ve led and recruited at three different agencies, always pushing for better ways to do the job.

Each of the 3 firms I helped lead — including my own — achieved a successful exit.

  • Employee #2 and early stage leader at a search firm that scaled to 200 across APAC

  • Two-time Best Leader award winner during a major ownership transition of a search firm

  • Built and sold my own agency from scratch — focused on executive search with RPO as the engine for scale

Along the way, I’ve seen what works, what doesn’t, and what holds good recruiters back.

Now, with my business partner Konstantin — a full-stack engineer and SaaS product builder — we’re building TalentHub. It’s for recruiters who want to work smarter, earn real equity, and cut through the noise. No politics. No wasted time. Just the right platform, genuine support, and the freedom to run your desk your way.

TalentHub is designed for a future exit — and like my last one, those who help build it will share in the reward.

The goal is simple: use AI to help great recruiters build better businesses — and better lives.
