About

The Architect of
Hiring Systems That Work

Army Veteran. Recruiter. Builder of teams from scratch. Donnie designs and installs the hiring machine — structured interviewing systems, recruiter capability programmes, and talent acquisition architecture for organisations that have outgrown instinct-based hiring.

Donald E. Maclary leads the Orchestration pillar of the CORE™ HR Architecture at Mahat Advisory — the design and operationalisation of structured hiring systems for ASEAN organisations scaling from founder-led to professionally managed structures. His niche is precise: he builds the systems that find the right people, fast, at scale.

With over a decade of ASEAN recruitment leadership across Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines, and direct experience managing a 30-person Delivery Centre at Airswift KL, Donnie combines the discipline of a US Army Combat Medic with the commercial rigour of an MBA graduate to deliver hiring architecture that performs under pressure.
