Name: Nick Mingos

Tell us a bit about your career to date and how you got in to recruitment

I started off doing business sales for 3/Vodafone before working in a range of areas including personal insurance and utilities, where I managed my own team for several years before deciding to head in to recruitment.

What’s your favourite thing about working at Fetch?

It’s kind of cliché but the people are amazing – a fantastic culture, everyone is supportive and wants everyone to succeed!

What’s one thing you wish people knew about recruitment or your industry?

The difficult part is getting your name out there. You walk in to a brand new industry as a virtual unknown so it takes a while to build up relationships within your industry.

#1 career highlight to date

Managing a team of consultants who exceeded targets regularly and broke many a record.

Your life mantra is/Your philosophy on life is/The words you live by are...

Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.

Favourite song/band/musician

If I were to pick one band it would probably be Atreyu – an all-time classic.

My favourite artist is probably Lana del Rey.

My favourite song is probably the Fred Falke & Miami Horror remix of PNAU’s “Embrace”

If you were on death row, what would your last meal be?

A banquet of pizza, pasta, Pastichio (a Greek dish similar to lasagne) and a HSP with some of Lucy Liu’s dumplings, and soft-shell crab rolls for dessert.

Name three things you are grateful for right now:

1) The fact we aren’t in lockdown

2) The fact days are getting longer

3) Friends and family

Tell us a #FunFact about you

I used to commentate on the VFL!

One job I’m recruiting for right now is

Electrical Engineers at any level from Junior to Associate!
