Andrew Banks

Andrew Banks is an English-Australian businessman, entrepreneur, film producer, and television investor best known for co-founding the recruitment company Morgan & Banks in 1985 and establishing the global HR outsourcing firm Talent2 International in 2003.^[1]^[2] Born in the United Kingdom, Banks migrated to Australia in the early 1970s, initially pursuing a career in acting with the Old Tote Theatre Company and supplementing his income through a partnership in a Sydney restaurant.^[2] After gaining six years of experience in human resources across the UK, Norway, and the United States, he co-founded Morgan & Banks with Geoff Morgan, building it into Australia's dominant recruitment provider with a 17% market share in Australia and Asia, achieving annual sales of nearly $700 million before its acquisition by TMP Worldwide (now Monster.com) in 1999.^[2]^[3] From 1999 to 2002, Banks served as Global Director at TMP in New York, overseeing more than 30 acquisitions and managing 4,500 staff across 32 countries.^[2] He later founded Talent2 International, which expanded to employ over 1,600 professionals in 20 countries, focusing on HR outsourcing and executive search; the company was taken private by Morgan & Banks Investments in a $115 million deal in 2012.^[1]^[4] Beyond business, Banks appeared as one of the "Sharks" (investors) on the Australian version of the reality television series Shark Tank for four seasons starting in 2015, evaluating pitches from entrepreneurs seeking funding.^[5]^[6] He has also ventured into film production, credited as a producer on Proxy (2020) and as an actor in Rise of Experiment 53 (2022).^[6] As of 2025, Banks advises on executive talent and board appointments while maintaining investments in recruitment, technology, and other sectors.^[3]^[7]

Early Life and Education

Childhood and Family Background

Andrew Banks was born on 30 November 1951 in Lambeth, London, England.^[8]^[9] He grew up as the fifth of six boys in a family environment marked by lively family dinners filled with banter and the aromas of traditional English cooking.^[10] The family relocated to Chichester in 1961, where Banks spent his formative years in a bustling household that emphasized shared responsibilities among the brothers, fostering early lessons in teamwork and perseverance.^[10] These experiences of sibling dynamics and family collaboration contributed to his developing sense of independence and competitive spirit amid modest circumstances.^[10] This English upbringing laid the groundwork for his later migration to Australia in 1972, which opened new opportunities.^[8]

Migration to Australia and Initial Settlement

At the age of 20, Andrew Banks emigrated from Britain to Australia in 1972 under the Assisted Passage Migration Scheme, commonly known as the "Ten Pound Pom" program, which offered British citizens subsidized passage for just £10 to encourage settlement in Australia.^[11] Born in Lambeth, England, Banks was driven by the promise of greater opportunities abroad, a decision influenced by his modest family circumstances in post-war Britain.^[12] Upon arriving in Sydney, Banks faced immediate financial challenges, arriving with limited funds that he quickly spent on essentials such as clothes, food, and initial living expenses.^[11] To support himself, he took on low-wage jobs, including working as a door-to-door salesman selling velvet paintings and as a restaurateur in the hospitality sector.^[13] These roles demanded resilience and adaptability as he navigated the transition from British urban life to Australia's more laid-back coastal environment and emerging multicultural society. A pivotal moment in his early settlement came just three days after arrival, when Banks secured his first job, marking the beginning of his independent life in Sydney and demonstrating his quick integration into the local workforce.^[11] Reflecting on the experience, Banks later described the migration as "the best $100 I ever spent," noting that he "never looked back" and grew to love the country, underscoring his ambition and positive outlook amid the initial hardships.^[11]

Formal Education and Early Influences

Andrew Banks received his formal education in England, where he enrolled at London University to study science. He trained as a biologist, developing analytical skills that later proved applicable to business contexts.^[14]^[13] Upon migrating to Australia from the UK in the early 1970s, Banks encountered an entrepreneurial culture that influenced his formative years.^[3]

Early Career

Acting Pursuits and Training

Upon arriving in Australia from England in 1972, Andrew Banks pursued his creative ambitions by embarking on an acting career, initially working in television and theatre for nearly two years. He joined the Old Tote Theatre Company in Sydney, a professional ensemble closely affiliated with the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA).^[15]^[16]^[17] During this period, he secured small roles, including a guest appearance in an episode of the popular television soap opera Number 96.^[18]^[19] These experiences exposed him to the demands of stage and screen performance, honing his ability to embody diverse personas, including performances in productions such as Macbeth.^[3] The acting profession presented significant challenges for Banks, including financial instability, as he earned around $60 per week amid the industry's inherent competitiveness and job scarcity.^[20] This unpredictability in securing steady work led to his growing disillusionment with the field's instability, ultimately influencing his decision to explore other ventures.^[13] The interpersonal and communication skills developed through his acting—such as reading situations and adapting dynamically—later proved invaluable in his business endeavors, particularly in recruitment where understanding people was key.^[8]

Transition to Business Ventures

In the late 1970s, Andrew Banks abandoned his acting career due to inconsistent employment opportunities, prompting him to seek stability through commercial ventures. Having arrived in Australia from the UK in the early 1970s and performed with the Old Tote Theatre Company in productions such as Macbeth, Banks found his weekly acting wage of $60 insufficient for long-term security, leading him to pivot toward entrepreneurship.^[3]^[20] In the early 1980s, Banks launched a bar and restaurant in Sydney's Woolloomooloo district, partnering with a friend to buy into the Red Pavilion establishment. He funded his share with $5,000 borrowed via two credit cards, marking his initial foray into business ownership. The venture demanded intense operational involvement, including 19-hour workdays focused on management and daily operations, which Banks later described as the hardest work he had ever undertaken. Despite these efforts, the business faced challenges as a struggling startup, particularly in attracting and retaining customers amid competitive local dining scenes.^[20]^[21]^[22] After 18 months, Banks sold his stake for a tidy sum and traveled to Europe with his wife, Andrea, reflecting on the experience as a formative lesson in entrepreneurship. The restaurant's difficulties underscored the critical need for thorough market demand assessment and robust financial planning to mitigate risks like high debt and operational strain. Through this partnership with restaurateur Soren Luno and immersion in Sydney's vibrant hospitality sector, Banks began cultivating foundational business contacts that would later support his professional network. His prior acting roles had incidentally sharpened communication skills beneficial for client interactions and team management in business settings.^[20]^[21]^[22]

Recruitment and HR Career

Founding and Growth of Morgan & Banks

In 1985, Andrew Banks co-founded the recruitment agency Morgan & Banks with Geoff Morgan in Sydney, Australia, starting as a small firm specializing in placements for professional services sectors such as accounting, legal, and executive roles. This venture marked Banks' transition from earlier acting and business pursuits, providing the foundational experience that enabled the partnership's formation. The agency quickly established itself by emphasizing personalized candidate matching and client relationships in a fragmented market.^[23] Throughout the late 1980s and 1990s, Morgan & Banks achieved rapid expansion through strategic openings of offices in major Australian cities like Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth, followed by entries into Asian markets including Hong Kong and Singapore. By the mid-1990s, the firm had captured approximately 17% market share in professional recruitment across Australia and Asia, driven by a focus on high-volume temporary and permanent staffing solutions. Annual sales grew to over A$700 million by the late 1990s, reflecting robust demand in a recovering economy. The company navigated significant challenges, including Australia's early 1990s recession, by diversifying into specialized divisions for emerging sectors like finance and information technology, which allowed it to maintain profitability amid reduced hiring activity.^[8]^[24]^[25] In 1994, Morgan & Banks launched an initial public offering on the Australian Stock Exchange, raising A$15.75 million and valuing the company at around A$33 million, which fueled further geographic and service-line growth. This listing enhanced its visibility and access to capital for technology investments, such as early adoption of database systems for candidate tracking. The firm's trajectory peaked with its merger into TMP Worldwide, the parent company of Monster.com, in January 1999, in a deal valued at approximately A$380 million, marking the end of its independent operations and affirming its status as a pioneer in the Asia-Pacific recruitment industry.^[26]^[27]

Establishment and Evolution of Talent2 International

Talent2 International was founded on December 1, 2003, by Andrew Banks and Geoff Morgan as Australia's first end-to-end human resource business process outsourcing (HR BPO) company, operating initially as a hybrid model that integrated recruitment, consulting, payroll, and learning services to provide comprehensive talent management solutions across the Asia-Pacific region.^[28] Building on the success of their prior venture, Morgan & Banks, which had been sold for A$380 million in 1999, the founders aimed to address evolving HR needs in a globalizing market by offering scalable outsourcing options for multinational organizations.^[29] The company rapidly expanded its footprint, establishing operations in key locations across the Asia-Pacific, including offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai, Taipei, Tokyo, India, Malaysia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea, while also extending into Europe with a UK-based entity providing payroll, advisory, recruitment, and consulting services.^[15]^[30]^[31] This growth supported service delivery to blue-chip clients and public sector entities, emphasizing end-to-end talent solutions that combined advisory expertise with operational outsourcing. Talent2 International listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under the code TWO, achieving revenue of A$99.56 million by the fiscal year ended June 2006, with EBITDA rising 68% to A$10.04 million, reflecting strong initial scaling in HR advisory and recruitment segments.^[32]^[33] Amid the global financial crisis (GFC), Talent2 demonstrated resilience, posting nearly 50% revenue growth in the year to August 2008 through diversified recurring revenue from outsourcing, while net profit increased 37% to A$9.3 million for fiscal 2008.^[34]^[35] Key strategies during this period focused on technology integration for HR processes, such as payroll automation and learning platforms, alongside workforce analytics to optimize talent deployment and support client recovery efforts in a challenging economic environment. These innovations helped the company maintain margins and cash flow, positioning it as a leader in HR BPO amid post-GFC demand for cost-efficient solutions. Facing intensified market pressures and sector-wide turmoil following the GFC, Talent2 was privatized in 2012 through a scheme of arrangement with Morgan & Banks Investments (controlled by Banks and Morgan) and Allegis Group, valuing the company at approximately A$115 million at 78 cents per share—a 98.5% premium to recent trading levels.^[36]^[37] This move allowed greater strategic flexibility amid volatile recruitment markets. In July 2014, Allegis Group completed the acquisition of the remaining shares, fully integrating Talent2 as a subsidiary and enhancing its Asia-Pacific presence with Talent2's established HR outsourcing capabilities.^[38]

Entrepreneurial Activities

Property and Business Investments

Following the success of his recruitment ventures, Andrew Banks, through Morgan & Banks Investments (MBI), diversified into property and non-recruitment business sectors to manage and grow his wealth.^[3] In the early 2000s, Banks and business partner Geoff Morgan pursued an aggressive property investment strategy, acquiring commercial and residential assets across Australia amid a rising market. Their portfolio included financing over 100 development projects, ranging from regional sites in Bathurst to high-profile Sydney initiatives such as the redevelopment associated with the Radisson Hotel in Manly. These investments appreciated substantially, bolstering their overall net worth through capital gains and rental yields without reliance on quick sales.^[39]^[40] Banks extended this diversification into consumer-facing businesses, notably acquiring a significant stake in the doughnut chain Krispy Kreme Australia via a consortium with associates David Coe and John Kinghorn. The group purchased a 32.5% interest in the Australian operations in 2005, capitalizing on the brand's initial entry into the market in 2003. Under their involvement, the chain expanded rapidly to over 50 stores along the east coast by 2010, establishing a strong foothold in the quick-service retail sector. MBI also held interests in complementary hospitality and retail outlets, including Jesters Pies, which they bundled into a proposed Food and Beverage Company structure to streamline operations and pursue further acquisitions in the food industry.^[41]^[39]^[42]^[43] Throughout the 2010s, Banks maintained a focus on long-term value creation in these sectors, emphasizing sustainable growth in property developments and operational efficiencies in retail and hospitality to mitigate risks and generate steady returns, independent of his prior HR expertise. This approach was partly supported by proceeds from the 2012 delisting of Talent2 International, valued at approximately A$115 million.^[3]^[44]

Participation in Shark Tank and Startup Investments

Andrew Banks served as an investor, or "Shark," on the first four seasons of Shark Tank Australia, which aired from 2015 to 2018 on Network Ten. Drawing on his extensive experience in building recruitment businesses, Banks evaluated pitches from entrepreneurs seeking equity funding, focusing on ventures with strong potential for growth and execution. During his tenure, he committed substantial personal capital to promising startups, including a record-breaking A$2.5 million investment in iCapsulate, a biodegradable coffee pod company, in season 4.^[45]^[46] His investment philosophy emphasized scalability, market potential, and the founders' passion and expertise, often probing for evidence of broad appeal and long-term viability during negotiations. Banks frequently rejected pitches where the business model showed limited scalability or poor market fit, such as those confined to niche audiences without expansion strategies, prioritizing opportunities that could achieve national or international reach. For example, he passed on ventures lacking validated demand or clear paths to profitability, underscoring his preference for ideas with robust commercial upside.^[47] Key deals highlighted Banks' selective approach. In season 1 (2015), he invested A$100,000 for 45% equity in Synxsole, an innovative orthotic shoe insert company founded by podiatrists, attracted by its customizable design addressing common foot issues like plantar fasciitis. That same season, he co-invested A$150,000 with fellow Shark Steve Baxter in Bottlepops, a range of sports-themed bottle openers, citing the untapped licensing opportunities in the U.S. sports market. In another season 1 pitch, Banks made a nominal A$2 investment for 50% equity in the Hamdog, a novelty hybrid food product blending hamburger and hotdog elements, valuing its whimsical appeal as a low-risk experiment.^[48]^[49]^[50] The post-show trajectories of Banks' investments demonstrated mixed but instructive outcomes through 2023. Bottlepops leveraged the funding to secure high-profile licensing partnerships with Marvel characters like Deadpool and Black Panther, as well as sports entities including the AFL and All Blacks; the company reported steady expansion in product distribution across Australia and beyond, motivated by a family member's battle with cystic fibrosis. Synxsole experienced robust domestic sales growth, enabling a U.S. market entry in 2020 and the addition of complementary products like pain relief creams, before rebranding to SynxBody to broaden its wellness focus. In contrast, the Hamdog achieved minimal commercial traction, remaining a curiosity with limited sales and no significant scaling by 2023, illustrating the risks of novelty-driven concepts. Banks' recruitment expertise subtly influenced his pitch assessments, aiding in the evaluation of founders' leadership potential. As of 2025, SynxBody continues to expand its product line in footcare and wellness, available internationally including in the U.S.^[51]^[52]^[50]^[53]

Other Endeavors

Film Production and Media Involvement

In 2013, Andrew Banks co-founded Lila 9th Productions with business partner Cameron Lamb, establishing an independent film production company dedicated to developing and financing creative, narrative-driven projects.^[54] The venture marked Banks' transition into the creative industries, leveraging his prior entrepreneurial success in recruitment to fund and produce films that prioritize artistic storytelling over commercial imperatives.^[16] Banks' production credits through Lila 9th include the 2014 indie drama Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter, directed by the Zellner brothers and starring Rinko Kikuchi, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and explored themes of obsession and cultural displacement.^[55] Other notable projects encompass Syrup (2013), an adaptation of Max Barry's novel about corporate satire, and Super Dark Times (2017), a psychological thriller examining adolescent trauma.^[56] In 2017, the company executive produced Submergence, directed by Wim Wenders and featuring James McAvoy and Alicia Vikander, a romantic thriller shot across multiple international locations including Germany, Spain, and Kenya.^[16] Additional developments under Lila 9th have included a biographical film on Winston Churchill's mid-career years and a project centered on the USS Indianapolis disaster.^[16] The company's funding approach blends personal investments from Banks' business holdings with government grants and tax incentives, though Banks has publicly criticized Australia's 16.5% rebate as inadequate compared to the 30% offered in the UK, New Zealand, and Canada, hindering equity raises, debt financing, and pre-sales for mid-budget films ($20–30 million).^[16] Distribution remains a key challenge, with complex international co-production rules and limited domestic support complicating global market access and revenue recovery for independent titles.^[16] This pivot to film production stems from Banks' early acting pursuits with the Old Tote Theatre Company in England and Sydney—later integrated into the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA)—where he developed a passion for narrative arts, motivating him to champion diverse, Australian-led stories independent of his HR background.^[16]

Writing, Speaking, and Philanthropy

Andrew Banks, in collaboration with Geoff Morgan, has authored four books on recruitment and career development, emphasizing industry trends, practical strategies for job seekers, and lessons from building successful HR enterprises.^[3] These works include The Morgan and Banks Guide to Getting That Job (1995), which provides guidance on resume writing, interview techniques, and career management based on human resource research, and Flourish & Prosper: All We Learned from Our Time at Morgan & Banks – and So Much More (2010), which explores entrepreneurial principles and business growth tactics derived from their experiences.^[57]^[58] Another title, Achieving Your Dream Career (2005), offers empowering advice on career progression drawn from over two decades in recruitment.^[59] Collectively, these publications highlight evolving recruitment practices, talent acquisition challenges, and the importance of adaptability in the HR sector.^[3] As a prominent speaker, Banks has delivered keynotes at human resources conferences across the Asia-Pacific region throughout the 2010s, addressing topics such as leadership in recruitment, organizational culture, and entrepreneurial scaling.^[3] His presentations often draw on his expertise in building global HR firms, advocating for HR professionals as "culture czars" who should hold strategic influence within organizations.^[60] In a 2025 podcast appearance on The Dion Guagliardo Podcast, Banks discussed pathways to entrepreneurial success, reflecting on the growth of his ventures and the mindset required for business innovation.^[61] Banks has actively engaged in philanthropy, with a focus on arts education and community support. He continues to serve as a director of the NIDA Foundation Trust, the fundraising arm of Australia's National Institute of Dramatic Art, contributing to initiatives that enhance performing arts training.^[62]^[63] Through personal donations, he established the Andrew Banks and Andrea Banks Scholarships, providing financial aid to talented students pursuing performing arts degrees at NIDA and helping to remove barriers for aspiring performers.^[64] His ongoing involvement with NIDA underscores a commitment to fostering creative talent, including support for broader student funds aimed at accessibility in arts education.^[63] This philanthropic work intersects briefly with his film production endeavors, which also promote artistic development.^[62]

Recognition and Legacy

Industry Awards and Honors

In 2004, Andrew Banks, alongside co-founder Geoff Morgan, received the Ernst & Young Australia Master Entrepreneur of the Year Award (Eastern Region) for their sustained success in business.^[8] Banks was inducted as an inaugural member of the Recruitment International (Australia) Industry Hall of Fame in 2014, honoring his lifetime contributions to elevating the recruitment sector as a professional, global industry.^[65] The Hall of Fame, established to celebrate pioneers who transformed recruitment practices, acknowledged Banks' role in scaling Morgan & Banks to dominate the Australian and Asian markets with a 17% share, setting standards for executive search and talent management.^[65] In 2015, Banks was voted one of the most influential people in recruitment over the past 60 years, based on an industry survey recognizing his enduring impact on HR strategies and business growth.^[65] This accolade, shared with Morgan, underscored Banks' influence in disrupting traditional hiring models through scalable, technology-integrated approaches that influenced global HR practices.^[65]

Influence in Recruitment and Business

Andrew Banks played a pioneering role in professionalizing the recruitment industry in Australia and Asia, transforming fragmented practices into structured, scalable models that emphasized operational processes, technology integration, and compliance. Co-founding Morgan & Banks in 1985, he built the firm into the dominant player in the region, achieving a 17% market share by focusing on innovative talent acquisition strategies, including the launch of Australia's first major job website in 1996, which merged with Monster.com and standardized resume search technologies. His emphasis on systematic hiring processes, as detailed in the 2004 book Flourish & Prosper co-authored with Geoff Morgan, anticipated modern talent acquisition by prioritizing data security, quality controls, and scalable systems over ad-hoc relationships, influencing the shift toward professionalized recruitment firms across the Asia-Pacific.^[66]^[67] Banks has extended his influence through mentorship of emerging entrepreneurs, particularly via post-2017 advisory roles that provide hands-on guidance in scaling startups. In 2018, he joined Tank Stream Labs as Entrepreneur in Residence, offering 12 months of direct mentoring to over 400 members across Sydney and Perth hubs, helping them refine ideas and prepare for global growth in sectors like HR and tech. His involvement in Shark Tank Australia from 2015 to 2018 further amplified this role, where he invested in and advised early-stage ventures, fostering entrepreneurial ecosystems. In recent podcasts, such as a 2024 episode on building business empires, Banks shares insights on the "grind" of entrepreneurship, stressing passion for the process and strategic sacrifices to achieve dominance, drawing from his experiences scaling recruitment giants.^[68]^[69] Addressing evolving industry challenges, Banks has spoken in 2024 on adapting to artificial intelligence in HR, advocating for HR leaders as "culture czars" who must integrate AI-driven efficiencies while prioritizing human elements like communication to counter remote work's isolating effects. He warns of AI's potential to disrupt 300 million jobs globally within five years, urging tailored training in areas like dramatic arts to enhance interpersonal skills in automated environments. On equity crowdfunding, Banks demonstrated practical leadership through his 2020 involvement with Plastiq.it, the fintech rewards platform he co-founded in 2018; the startup raised $400,000 via Equitise at a $12.9 million valuation, exceeding targets early and highlighting crowdfunding's role in fueling retail innovation amid Australia's $275 billion market. His ongoing advocacy underscores crowdfunding's accessibility for HR-adjacent ventures post-2020.^[60]^[70] Banks' broader legacy lies in shaping HR and recruitment standards, contributing to the sector's maturation in the 2010s by modeling high-growth, specialized firms that integrated outsourcing and executive search, as seen in Talent2 International's expansion where managed services drove over 55% of revenue by 2010. Recognized among Australia's 15 most influential recruitment figures in 2015, his frameworks for "100-point check" hiring and neuroscience-informed selection have informed contemporary practices, promoting a 17% market penetration benchmark that spurred regional specialization and professionalization.^[71]^[72]
