Resilience, calm determination, process-driven and results focused | We’ve been successfully operating in the most complex and competitive job market worldwide for more than a decade, primarily in the United States, as well as the United Kingdom.
After completing a BSc in Estate Management at Northumbria University and working in the real estate industry in Northern Ireland for several years, in 2013 Allister switched to recruitment on the agency side.
For the next 5 years he operated as a 360-degree Recruiter for firms in London and New York, including developing new business, running a small team, and crucially delivering results by filling challenging technical roles. During this time, he learned to navigate the complexities of various technical and geographical markets, before developing expertise from a talent acquisition perspective in the field of Data Science & Engineering. The journey from Belfast to London to New York and all the coinciding experiences, greatly enhanced his resilience, determination and ambition, leading to the foundation of Defined Calculus in late 2017.
As the Founder & Director, with a predominant focus on the US market, Allister remains hands-on in all aspects of the talent acquisition process. Operating with core values and guiding principles, he continues to develop long-term meaningful relationships with employers, candidates and industry contacts.

“I’ve invested the last 12 years of my career listening intently to industry personnel and gathering valuable market intelligence on this overarching technical space, as well as reflecting and crucially learning from my own mistakes.
In late 2017, I wanted to create a talent acquisition firm with a clear vision for the future that was not just highly specialized in technical focus, but one that hopefully stood out as different by addressing some of the negative stereotypes often associated with recruitment agencies.
For me it’s not only about a determined focus on results, but just as important are the relationships you develop along the way, the professional service you provide and generally how you treat others. This philosophy is firmly embedded within the culture of Defined Calculus.”
