Work categoryHR and Recruitment
Profile Activity
I have an extensive experience in building and leading recruitment and sales teams in the IT sector, the last 12 years of which have been in Ireland.
I am interested in hearing from generic recruiters who are exploring IT as a line of business, or perhaps small IT recruiters who need kick-start experience or guidance.
Technology organisations who have something new and interesting.
Above all, only get in touch if you are progressive, well funded and 'really' want to suceed!
