About

The Architect of
Hiring Systems That Work

Army Veteran. Recruiter. Builder of teams from scratch. Donnie does not do general HR consulting \u2014 he 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 owns Service 06 \u2014 HR Strengthening \u2014 at Mahat Advisory. His niche is precise: he builds the systems that find the right people, fast, at scale, for ASEAN organisations moving from founder-led to professionally managed structures.

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.
