Colin Waters

Colin Waters is an Account Manager for M&T VIC and hails from Ennis, a small town in the west of Ireland. After moving to Sydney post-COVID for the sun, lifestyle, and people, he has become an integral part of the M&T Resources team. With a strong focus on the financial services sector and a passion for the SME market, Colin specialises in software engineering recruitment across all technology stacks. His journey in recruitment began at the young age of 19 when his first experience on the sales floor felt like a scene from “The Wolf of Wall Street.” After a two-year hiatus, he realised how much he missed the industry and returned with renewed enthusiasm.

Colin was drawn to M&T Resources because of the team’s emphasis on long-term, sustainable relationships over quick wins. He excels at building strong relationships, understanding client and candidate pain points, and identifying where he can add the most value. Guided by the principle that “it’s just nice to be nice,” he treats candidates and clients as people, showing empathy and working through barriers together.

Outside of work, you can find Colin at the driving range, exploring beaches, sightseeing, hitting the gym, or enjoying a few beverages in a beer garden. A cherished family tradition is his annual movie marathon between Christmas and New Year, culminating with “Titanic” on New Year’s Day.

The best advice he’s ever received? “Don’t be a cowboy,” a mantra shared by an ex-agency recruiter turned Talent Acquisition professional.
