AS THE country approaches full employment, the battle for talent is increasingly a key factor in business success, according to Brian Carmody. Brian heads up the new regional office for recruiting giant Sanderson Ireland, which opened in Limerick city this month.
The major recruitment firm says its Limerick expansion will create jobs within the firm, and will also serve growing demand in the Mid-West for specialist recruitment services, created by the region’s rapid business growth and economic recovery.
Located on Henry Street, the newest Sanderson office was announced by Donal O’Donoghue, Sanderson Ireland managing director.
Limerick native Brian Carmody, who has 20 years Irish and international experience in high-level recruitment, says that with Limerick now outperforming the rest of the country in job creation, the search for talent is keener than ever.
“Expanding sectors like biopharma, medical devices, electronics and fintech rely on specific skills sets and expertise that can be difficult to source. Sanderson understands the competitive recruitment climate and the market sectors where talent is in demand, and uses our Europe-wide network to deliver real recruitment solutions.”
Currently employing thirty people in Ireland, Sanderson was awarded Best New Agency at Ireland’s National Recruitment Awards, and has a blue chip client list including Coca-Cola, Sky, Kelloggs, Integra, Tokyo Electron, Teleflex Boston Scientific and Virgin Media.
The group has offices throughout the UK and now opens here for the Ireland market: Bristol, Cardiff, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, London, Manchester, Reading, Southampton and Limerick.
Group turnover has grown from €300m in 2017 to top €400m by the year end June 2018.
