The Truth about Recruitment in Ireland

Amidst the dark cloud of recession that has consumed this country for the past 2 years there is a glimmer of light shining through this ever-present depression. Bad news for those who enjoy nothing better than a moan at the bus stop or wallowing in a mire of self pity over a bottle of €4 Merlot from the bargain stand at O’Brien’s. The job market in Ireland is back, and although not the dominant force it once was, we are surely in the midst of a Brittney Spears style comeback. Much like Mrs. Spears this return to glory is almost certainly going to have a shaky start but ultimately, the hair will grow back, the spandex cat suit will be resurrected and in no time we will be basking in our former glory sipping Mojitos in the Shelbourne, rubbing shoulders with Gavin Lamb Murphy and other Dublin socialites. Joking aside, we are certainly experiencing a pick up in the market the likes of which has not been seen since the recession broke. Renewed market confidence and a constant stream of success and recovery stories in the media has meant that many companies are now feeling less defensive and are reaching out to recruitment consultancies for candidates. Although not as easy as it once was, getting a job in this market is both achievable and probable, especially for those who have either experience in some key sectors, a second European language or even a steely determination and willingness to learn. First Place Recruitment have been working in the Irish Market and across Europe for years and we have healthy and long standing relationships with most of the major Multinational and SME companies based in Ireland. Over the past months we have seen a noticeable demand for candidates in the Consumer Sales, IT sales & Technical support, Customer Service and Accountancy sectors for a range of low and high level positions. Although not always publicly advertised these positions are there and very much available for anyone willing to work towards them, and work you must. Interviews have drastically changed and now require a great deal of research, preparation, follow up and company knowledge. All of these things can be tackled by working with a good recruitment consultant. First Place Recruitment has provided this service to candidates with an outstanding track record. So if you are hard working, industrious, experienced in any sector, have a second language or are simply driven and determined, contact First Place Recruitment and get on the fast track to your new career.
