How we work with Mid West employers
A direct search, not a CV forward. We map who is doing the job now, approach them, screen them against your brief and shortlist.
- Permanent recruitment. A search commencement fee, then a placement fee when your hire starts. Committed search time, a mapped market and a shortlist rather than a pile of CVs.
- Executive and senior search. Confidential, mapped and fully managed, for roles you cannot advertise.
- Contract and temporary staffing. An hourly or daily charge rate with pay, employer PRSI, holiday pay, insurance and payroll inside it.
