Konnekt

Konnekt is a recruitment agency with a simple pitch: handle the whole hiring process properly so that employers get the right person and candidates land a role that suits them. The Malta office sits in the Capital Business Centre in San Ġwann, an inland town close to Sliema, St Julian's and the university area, and a sister office in Nicosia serves Cyprus. The agency recruits at every level, from entry-level administration to executive and non-executive director searches.

For UK professionals, Konnekt is a practical way into the Maltese job market, particularly in finance, legal, technology and iGaming. For UK companies that need staff in Malta, it offers a full recruitment service on a success-only basis. On VisitMalta.co.uk the agency appears in our directory of recruitment agencies in Malta.

About Konnekt

Konnekt has worked in recruitment since 2007, and its mission has always been to improve the recruitment experience. It is part of the KonnektTalexio Group, which pairs personal recruitment with Malta's HR technology ecosystem and aims to give both employers and candidates sharper insight and faster results. Konnekt Search and Selection Ltd is licensed as an employment agency in both Malta and Cyprus.

Four values shape the culture: curious, authentic, courageous and impactful. In practice that means consultants who keep learning, do what they promise, give honest feedback even when it is unwelcome and work as a team towards ambitious goals. The agency's own numbers show its scale: more than 550 candidates appointed last year, over 600 employers using the service and upwards of 400 available jobs each month.

Recruitment for employers

The employer service covers the whole process from sourcing to the offer. It begins with a call or on-site meeting about your business, culture and vacancy. Specialist recruiters then advertise across several platforms, run targeted searches, and interview candidates, usually in conversations of about 45 minutes, before presenting a shortlist. Konnekt coordinates interviews, gathers feedback, keeps you updated with market insights, manages the offer and negotiation, and follows up after the hire with both sides to support a smooth start.

Payment is due only on a successful placement. Before opening a vacancy the agency asks for a short meeting, especially with new clients, and a clear job description. Timelines depend on the role, seniority and demand, and the team will not promise a fixed speed, but it aims to present qualified people as early as it can. Employers range from pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and hospitality to financial services and technology, and anyone planning to employ staff through a Maltese company should read our guide to the Malta corporate tax structure.

Specialist teams

Konnekt divides its Malta work into focused teams. The finance and legal team recruits for corporate services, legal, compliance, accounting, fintech and banking, which ties in with the island's financial services sector. The tech team covers software engineering, product development, IT operations and project management, with particular strength in the iGaming industry in Malta.

The generalist team handles administration, HR, marketing, operations and customer support across industries such as pharma, manufacturing, hospitality and fast-moving consumer goods. A skilled and operational team supplies blue-collar, skilled trade and high-volume workers, sourcing locally and internationally. A projects and tendering team runs large recruitment tenders for European institutions and public bodies, and a separate Cyprus team supports employers there from operational roles to the boardroom. Each team is led by consultants who follow their own market closely, so shortlists reflect current salary levels and candidate expectations.

Support for candidates

Candidates pay nothing: charging job seekers is illegal in Malta, and the agency never asks for money. After you apply, a consultant reviews your CV and gives feedback, considers transferable skills for other vacancies and, if suitable, arranges a short screening call followed by an online interview. The consultant then guides you through interview preparation, follow-ups, feedback and offer negotiation, so you know where you stand throughout. Feedback is shared even when the answer is no.

The website carries free guidance on CVs, interviews, finance careers, relocation and working in Malta, and a Malta salary calculator from its sister brand Talexio that shows take-home pay, tax and social security contributions. UK arrivals will also find our relocation guide for Malta, the Malta tax guide for UK nationals and the digital nomad guide useful alongside it.

What the recruitment process feels like

Because every candidate has a dedicated consultant, the experience differs from applying through a job board. The consultant advocates for you with the employer, often speaking directly to the hiring manager, which gives you better insight into the role and faster feedback than a bare application would. Where a vacancy is not the right match, the team looks at your transferable skills and may suggest other openings, or point you towards a wider jobs board if that suits your background better.

Employers get the same continuity. A recruiter who understands both the technical and the human side of the role follows up after each CV, keeps both parties' expectations realistic and stays involved until the right hire has been secured. The aim is to be a long-term recruitment partner rather than a one-off supplier, and that includes checking in after the new starter joins.

Resources for working in Malta

The website carries a library of advice articles that is useful before you apply. Topics include what to wear to an interview in Malta, common interview mistakes, step-by-step interview preparation, CV tips from the agency's recruiters, templates for creative CVs, the finance skills that employers want, and how to handle a counter-offer. A guide to relocating to Malta covers what to know before you move, and further articles help non-EU nationals check that a job offer is genuine and understand what happens if they lose their job.

Employers have their own resource section on Malta recruitment best practice, pay and compliance for 2026, employee retention beyond fixed-term contracts, and hiring non-EU nationals who are already on the island. Anyone drawn to Malta by the lifestyle, the climate and the compact size of the island can browse our Valletta city guide before deciding where to live.

Staying safe from recruitment scams

Scammers have impersonated Konnekt by WhatsApp, Telegram and email, using recruiters' names and look-alike addresses. The agency advises checking that the contact has a Maltese work telephone number and an email on the official company domain, that the job appears on the agency's own website with specific details, and that nobody asks for payment. If an offer feels vague, do not share personal or financial details, and report the account.

This is sensible advice for anyone moving abroad for work. Before travelling for interviews, plan your trip with our guides to flights from the UK to Malta and hotels across Malta.
