About Project Foundry

Project Foundry is an Irish strategy execution and transformation business that helps organisations bridge the gap between ambition and delivery. Since 2015, we have partnered with government departments, public sector organisations and private businesses that depend on technology to transform how they operate.

We bring together specialist resourcing, professional services, technology platforms and transformation expertise to help our clients turn their plans into practical, meaningful outcomes. We work alongside them as a trusted, long‑term partner, combining deep expertise with practical thinking and taking the time to understand their business, challenge assumptions where needed and consistently deliver high‑quality results.

Our culture is ambitious, collaborative and accountable, guided by five core values: Client First, Always; Humble Dedication; Own It; Make It Happen; and Win Together.

The Opportunity

As we continue to grow our IT Resourcing practice, we are looking for an experienced Senior Recruitment Consultant who has a genuine appetite for business development, values relationships over transactions and wants the freedom to build and grow a specialist market. Business development is central to this role, with a strong focus on creating new client relationships and developing them into long‑term recruitment partnerships. We believe successful recruitment starts with understanding people, technology and business.

This is a genuine 360‑degree recruitment role, combining proactive business development, new client acquisition, account growth and end‑to‑end recruitment across contract, permanent and project‑based technology appointments. You will be expected to generate new opportunities, convert relationships into sustainable revenue and take commercial ownership of your market.

You will benefit from an established client base, an experienced leadership team and the wider capabilities of Project Foundry, while having the autonomy to develop long‑term client partnerships, influence the growth of the practice and become recognised as a trusted adviser within Ireland's technology market.

What You'll Be Doing

• Proactively develop new business across the Irish technology market, opening new client relationships and converting opportunities into sustainable revenue.
• Grow existing accounts through exceptional delivery, trusted advice and the proactive identification of new hiring demand and wider commercial opportunities.
• Manage the full recruitment lifecycle for permanent and contract opportunities, from qualifying the requirement and agreeing a clear search strategy through to sourcing, assessment, interview management, offer and placement.
• Use direct sourcing, headhunting and talent mapping to identify and engage high-quality passive candidates, particularly for difficult or niche technology requirements.
• Challenge and refine client briefs where required, advising on market availability, realistic expectations and the best route to secure the right talent.
• Develop long-term partnerships with hiring managers, HR teams and senior technology leaders.
• Build specialist talent communities within your market.
• Conduct client meetings, in-depth candidate interviews and market mapping exercises, with the ability to assess technical and behavioural fit rather than relying on keyword or CV matching.
• Negotiate commercial terms and manage offers through to successful placement.
• Work closely with our Professional Services and Managed Services teams to identify wider opportunities.
• Maintain accurate CRM records and deliver against agreed revenue, business development and delivery objectives.
• Contribute to the continued growth of the IT Resourcing practice.

Depending on your specialist market and client demand, you may recruit across technology and

• Software Engineering
• Cyber Security
• Data & Analytics
• ERP & Business Applications
• Digital Transformation
• Business Analysis
• PMO
• IT Service Management
• Technology Leadership
• CIO, CTO and Executive Appointments

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role will be measured across both commercial growth and recruitment delivery. This includes generating new business, growing sustainable client accounts, delivering high-quality shortlists against complex requirements, becoming a trusted adviser to clients and building genuine long‑term relationships with candidates. You will be expected to take ownership of your market, maintain strong candidate networks and consistently turn client and market knowledge into successful outcomes, while contributing to the continued success of Project Foundry.

What you Bring

• Significant experience in IT or Technology recruitment, ideally gained in a senior consultant or equivalent role.
• A strong Irish market network across IT and Technology clients and candidates.
• A successful background in 360‑degree recruitment with clear evidence of winning new business as well as delivering recruitment assignments.
• Strong business development and account management experience.
• Experience recruiting contract, permanent or project‑based technology professionals.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Commercial awareness and strong negotiation ability.
• A consultative approach that puts the client's long‑term interests first.
• High standards, integrity and professionalism.
• A genuine interest in technology and the evolving IT landscape.
• Strong sourcing skills through effective use of social media platforms.
• Strong working knowledge of recruitment CRM/ATS platforms; Bullhorn experience is advantageous.

Why Join Us?

• Competitive salary and uncapped commission with no ceiling on earnings.
• Access to an established portfolio of public and private sector clients.
• Opportunity to work alongside experienced technology professionals.
• A supportive, collaborative and ambitious culture.
• The opportunity to influence the growth of our IT Resourcing practice.

Why This Role Is Different

This is an opportunity to build and commercially grow a specialist market within an established technology and transformation business. You will have the autonomy to win new clients, deepen existing relationships and shape your market, while being supported by Project Foundry's wider client base, delivery capability and technology expertise. You will also have the opportunity to influence growth of our IT Resourcing practice and become recognised as a trusted recruitment partner within Ireland's technology community.

Join us and help organisations find exceptional technology talent, while building a career you can be proud of.
