Zoe founded MATCHUP in 2021 after eight years in the security industry, where she gained experience in screening, operations, and staffing. Frustrated by the sector’s one-size-fits-all approach, she created MATCHUP to offer a more personalised, relationship-focused recruitment model. Zoe leads with passion, precision, and a strong belief in building solid foundations from the start. Under her direction, MATCHUP prioritises quality over quantity—delivering tailored solutions that meet the evolving needs of both clients and candidates.
