About our client

Our client is a people-first recruitment consultancy that specializes in Accounting & Tax, Business Support, Financial Services, Legal, Life Sciences, Supply Chain, and Technology. Founded 10 years ago, they are now a 45-person team with offices in Dublin and Cork.

They’re not your typical recruitment agency – they don’t chase KPIs or push price-first solutions. They offer a deeply consultative, values-led service and prioritize the long-term success of both their clients and candidates. Most of their recruiters are professionally qualified in the areas they recruit, and many come from industry backgrounds.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Senior Recruiter with a strong background in Accounting & Finance recruitment to launch and lead their Northern Ireland office. They’re already well-established in the region but haven’t yet placed a recruiter on the ground.

You’ll operate on their Partner Model – taking full ownership of the NI market with the support and backing of the wider brand, team, and leadership. This is a unique opportunity to build your own business within a business, scale a team around you, and shape how they grow in Northern Ireland.

What Makes Them Different

They advise first

No salesy culture, no pushy KPIs – you set your own targets

Culture-first environment – no egos, just teamwork

2–3 office days per week

️ Leadership that genuinely cares about people and relationships

What You’ll Be Doing

Establish and grow the agencies presence in Northern Ireland

Build, manage, and scale your own recruitment team over time

Run full-cycle recruitment with high standards of client and candidate service
