Mason Alexander – Staff Spotlight!
Name?
Jessica Grant
What did you want to do as a kid growing up?
Very randomly wanted to be an Archaeologist!! There was a dig in my local area, and I was so amazed by it. I was fascinated with the idea of discovering things about history through this means.
What’s the worst job you’ve ever had?
I’ve been quite lucky with the jobs I have had! If I had to choose, I would probably have to say working in BBs at the weekend - it was intense, although I did get to take boxes of leftover muffins home with me!!
What is your role MA?
Principal Consultant within Accounting and Finance
What’s your favourite thing about working at MA?
The people, the trust, and the culture! Everyone is so down-to-earth and approachable. There is no hierarchy and they really put their people first!
Would you recommend MA to friends/colleagues? Why?
Yes absolutely! This is a place where people can be themselves, bring their ideas and thoughts to the table, and really contribute to change and success!
Can you recommend any habits that have helped your professional life?
Keeping momentum, I think a strong start to your day is key! Having a list, having time carved out for tasks, and being organised!
What is something you think everyone should do at least once in their lives?
Travelling - when sometimes things can feel very intense, travelling opens the mind and delivers perspective on life!
What is the best advice you have ever received?
Comparison is the thief of joy
What advice would you give to your younger self?
Stop worrying what everyone thinks of you, it’s the most liberating feeling!
What's your biggest achievement?
Buying our house last year! It was a long road, and it was the most stressful experience but so proud of our resilience and persistence in getting here!
What skills do you think are essential to have to be a recruiter?
You have to be an exceptional people person and genuinely have people’s best interests in mind. Driven with self-motivation. Resilience as it’s not always easy!
If you're looking for a job within Accountancy or Finance, or looking for staff in this industry, please feel free to reach out to Jess, she will be more than happy to help you.

Last week, we celebrated a successful year with our 2024 summer party at Taste of Dublin 🥳
Despite a mix of rain and sun, we enjoyed fantastic food and great catch-ups with our colleagues. Here's to many more achievements ahead 💙
Dublin’s pride month celebrations officially begin today 🏳️🌈🌈🏳️⚧️
This year’s theme is SHINE 🪩
“Shine means to give forth light, but it also means to cast light into dark places, or to restore the brilliance of things that have gotten dull. Pride celebrates the light we all hold, but it is brightest when it is shared. We invite you to shine, both in your own pride, and to be a light for those who may be in the dark right now.” – Dublin Pride
The festival will kick off this evening with SHINE – The Concert. This is an event organised in partnership with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra and Dublin Pride Festival to celebrate, commemorate, support, and applaud the LGBTQ+ community in Ireland and beyond, promoting human rights, resilience to overcoming obstacles, and what we now know as diversity and inclusivity ✨
We hope everyone attending enjoys an evening of celebration and reflection marking 50 years since Ireland’s first Pride 💙❤️💛💜💚🧡

This rebound in Pharma activity is very encouraging given the concerns of a slump last year due to a collapse in demand for Covid vaccines and medications – triggering a downturn in Irish Pharma exports.
This recovery signifies a notable turnaround, demonstrating the resilience and adaptability of the Irish pharmaceutical industry 👏🏼

🎉 Happy 5 Years with Mason Alexander Aisling 🎉
Our COO, James Lynch, shared these words of appreciation:
“This week marks a very special occasion where we celebrate Ash's 5 years with us. I remember her first morning well, Ash was here less than an hour before she was straight off to her first client meeting and first role (which she placed of course!), and she's never looked back since. Her professionalism, care, hard work, and passion for recruitment are second to none. She takes such pride in her work and cares deeply about her clients and her candidates, and about delivering for them. It's an old cliche but we really are lucky to have her, because on top of all the above qualities, she's a great person, always great fun to be around, and someone who everyone in MA has huge respect for. Big congrats on 5 great years Ash and here's to the next 5!”
“As fortune would have it, Ash is also our winner of Employee of the Month for March after a stand out performance. EOTM is voted by all employees every month which makes it that extra bit special. Well done Ash on a great month and wishing you continued success.”
Congratulations again, Ash, on five incredible years of dedication, passion, and success at Mason Alexander – here's to many more milestones and achievements ahead 💙
Last week we held a workshop for some of our staff in our Dublin HQ and it was such a great day💡
As a remote work-based company, it was a fantastic opportunity to catch up in person, share ideas, and learn some new skills 📈
We also put our knowledge to the test afterward with a pub quiz! Kudos to our Quiz Master Claire who put together a brilliant quiz and congrats to team "Quizzy Modo" for taking the winning title – Tara, Sophie, and Steve 🏆
The Business Support team went out last week for dinner in the delicious @unomasdublin to celebrate a very successful Q1 🥳
The MA team all work remotely, but we love getting together to celebrate as a team!
Well done Ash, Dylan, and Jess 👏🏼
