At Nétive, our success is driven by the talented individuals who make up our team. That’s why we’d like to introduce you to three key members of Nétive UK: Craig, Jack and Kieran. Who work together to achieve our shared goal of delivering a complete workforce management eco-system that seamlessly connects great talent with organisations.
Craig Holborn is our Country Manager (UK&I), based in the picturesque town of Helensburgh in the West of Scotland. He shares his home with his two grown-up children, son David and daughter Katie, and their beloved Labrador puppy, Bonnie. Their converted farmhouse in the hills offers breathtaking views of the Firth of Clyde, the Gareloch, and Loch Lomond.
“I have spent most of my career helping clients in the Recruitment and Technology sectors enhance their business performance by leveraging best-in-class solutions designed to reduce costs, facilitate compliance and deliver increased efficiencies and improved control. Not surprisingly, this is precisely what I do at Nétive in my role as Country Manager for the UK & Ireland.”
Outside of work, Craig enjoys cooking delicious meals (enjoyed with a wee glass of wine), spending quality time with his girlfriend Karin, and taking walks with Bonnie. His other passion is football, where he serves as Chairman of a large Community Football Club, proudly holding a Guinness World Record for the number of penalty kicks taken during a fundraising event.

Nétive VMS
Jack Newman, our Sales & Partnerships Manager (UK&I), brings a wealth of experience to Nétive, having previously worked with Talent Pool Technology platforms at both ProFinda and Adepto. He excels in commercial and sales functions, focusing on new customer acquisitions within the UK market. His expertise spans VMS, ATS, MSP and enabling more efficient technology led solutions to business problems.
As a strategic thinker and dynamic design enthusiast, Jack enjoys challenging and redefining traditional models. Jack is passionate about educating and supporting organisations to develop a roadmap to execute skills based hiring in order to thrive in the modern recruitment and workforce management market. Jack’s role at Nétive involves generating new customer acquisitions and building a robust partner program to establish Nétive as the mid-market leader for VMS technology in the UK.
Nétive and Jack share a vision; to develop long-lasting relationships with customers and partners – and to help them navigate their way through the Total Talent journey to enable true workforce agility. Jack is a people person at heart, and he thrives on seeing his peers happy and excelling in what they do. He values health, happiness, and humour above all else.
“Why did I join Nétive? Nétive and myself share a number of core values; integrity, play-to-win and helping our customers to realise true value in their technologies. I believe the business is perfectly positioned to deliver significant value to its UK clients – I share the confidence of Netive in its people, its proposition and its technology – and I am really excited to help realise this ambition.”

Nétive VMS
Kieran Jones, our Implementation Consultant for the UK, has a passion for challenges and problem-solving. He fell in love with Nétive’s software, team, and business approach during his previous role as a client. His desire to delve deeper into the system’s inner workings and contribute innovative ideas for functionality and features led him to join Nétive’s UK office.
Kieran’s family is the most important thing in his life, and he loves spending quality time with his wife and daughters, including their weekly swimming sessions. He’s a fan of good movies, good food, and a wide range of music genres. Kieran’s also a self-confessed “petrolhead” with a love for motorsports, particularly Formula One.
“What makes me want to come to work every day? The constant challenge and having to think on my feet. I hate the idea of a job that is the same thing day in, day out or for it to feel like a grind. With Nétive this has never been the case. I get to come up with creative solutions to problems and new functionalities and see them going all the way from an idea on paper right through to features that our clients can benefit from”
