Ryan Taylor
Managing Director & Founder
On the anniversary of my 20th year in recruitment, I felt the time was right to launch my own business and incorporate all the skills I have learned and package them with my own values and beliefs. In doing so, I start this new chapter.
My recruitment journey began in 2005, and throughout that time, I have been focused on recruiting professionals, building and leading teams, as well as working in Commercial Leasing for a large Perth-based private landlord.
A permeated culture in recruitment often suggests that recruitment is purely sales-driven, where deals take priority over the individuals and organisations represented. This perspective never sat right with me.
First and foremost, I build relationships. As cliché as it might sound, it’s the fundamental key to being a successful recruiter. I don’t believe a person’s career is something to be sold or manipulated, nor do I believe building high-functioning teams is a simple sales exercise.
For me, success lies in:
Understanding client and candidate motivations deeply.
Speaking the truth, even when conversations are hard.
Following through to ensure every placement is truly successful.
The best engagements happen when clients trust us to have full accountability for our candidates, with the guarantee that our goal is always to create the most successful placements that benefit both parties.
I’m incredibly proud to be starting this journey alongside my co-founders Mallory and Jess, who share the same values and vision. Together, we look forward to partnering with you for many years to come.
Mallory Perkins
Director & Co-Founder
With six years of experience in the real estate and property sector, I have most recently specialised in property recruitment, with a strong focus on Western Australia and South Australia. I have honed expertise in recruiting for a range of areas within the property industry, including commercial and retail property management, sales and leasing, facilities management, retirement and corporate services.
I have worked with a diverse client base, from boutique commercial agencies to some of Australia’s largest private commercial landlords and prestigious national high-end retirement developers. My clients have given me a deep understanding of both transactional and relationship-driven markets. My aim is to provide a tailored recruitment process to ensure the best possible outcome for both candidate and client.
Honesty and integrity are fundamental values that I uphold in every aspect of my work as I am adamant on ensuring a transparent and ethical approach to recruitment.
I am honoured to partner with my co-founders Ryan and Jess, whose combined experience of nearly 30 years and shared passion for a more partnership-driven approach to recruitment will contribute to our dynamic and successful team.

Director & Co-Founder
With a career spanning over 15 plus years in recruitment and property, I am excited to join Cast Recruitment, alongside my two business partners Ryan and Mallory. Originally from the East Coast, my husband and I decided to call Perth home back in 2011. With a background in residential, commercial, and retail property management, I fell into recruitment over 10 years ago when I decided to try my hand at something new. What started as an interest quickly became a passion, and I have since placed hundreds of candidates over the years across multiple property roles from junior through to c suite level.
I believe recruitment goes far beyond just finding someone a role, hitting sales targets, or helping a client fill a gap, I believe that it is the art of listening. I genuinely believe that mapping out a candidate’s career is one of the most fulfilling conversations that you can have, and I get immense satisfaction from finding a prospective candidate their forever home, or our client their next long-term employee. After meeting Ryan in 2017, and working closely alongside him as a Talent Resourcer, I realised there was a strong synergy and connection in how we both recruited. It was evident from the get-go that working with Ryan and Mallory, we all shared the same value - that being the emphasis of long term relationships.
The formation of Cast Recruitment is something that I hold close to my heart. I look forward to changing things up in the recruitment world, in a way that sees our industry become more consultative vs transactional. If you’re looking for someone to invest in your career, or your business, you’ve come to the right place.
