Posted 5 days 18 hours ago by Hadfieldgreen
Permanent Division Location: Remote (Ireland) with regular Dublin client engagement Company: Hadfield Green
About Hadfield GreenHadfield Green is a relationship-led executive search and technology recruitment firm supporting organisations through growth, transformation, and change.
Our work focuses on meaningful partnerships with clients - delivering leadership and specialist hires that make a genuine impact. We operate differently from high-volume agencies, prioritising long-term relationships and quality delivery over transactional recruitment.
We are now expanding our Permanent Recruitment Division and are looking for a Senior Recruitment Consultant to join us in a 300 recruitment role.
The RoleThis is a 300 recruitment role focused on delivery excellence, account management, and account development - not cold-call business development.
You will work closely with established client relationships, supporting hiring needs while identifying opportunities to expand partnerships through strong delivery and trusted advisory support.
This is a highly relationship-driven role suited to someone who enjoys owning delivery, building trust, and becoming a go-to partner for clients.
Role FocusYou will support a mix of leadership and specialist hiring, typically:
- 70% Technology Leadership roles (IT Directors, Heads of Engineering, Infrastructure Leaders, Enterprise Architects, CTO-level hires)
- 30% Cross-Functional Leadership & Specialist roles (Commercial, Product, Operations, and key Individual Contributor positions)
These are typically high-impact, business-critical roles requiring thoughtful sourcing and strong stakeholder engagement.
Key Responsibilities- Managing a 300 recruitment desk focused on delivery and account growth
- Building trusted relationships with hiring managers and senior stakeholders
- Gathering detailed requirements and shaping hiring strategies
- Proactively sourcing high-calibre candidates through headhunting and market mapping
- Shortlisting and managing candidate pipelines
- Managing recruitment processes from brief through to placement
- Supporting account development, identifying opportunities to grow within existing clients
- Delivering a professional, high-quality recruitment experience for both clients and candidates
This role does not require heavy cold-call new business development. The focus is on expanding existing relationships through delivery excellence.
Working ModelThis role can be fully remote within Ireland, with flexibility to attend:
- Client meetings in Dublin (where most of our client base is located)
- Internal team sessions when required
Realistically, this means 1-2 days in Dublin approximately every second week.
Flexibility and willingness to meet clients face-to-face is important.
What We're Looking For- Proven experience in recruitment delivery, search, or account-led recruitment
- Experience managing recruitment processes end-to-end
- Strong account management and relationship-building skills
- Confidence engaging with senior stakeholders
- Skilled in proactive sourcing and headhunting
- High energy, ownership mindset, and strong delivery focus
- Comfortable operating independently in a remote-first environment
Most importantly, you will align strongly with our values:
- Meaningful Relationships
- Meaningful Work
- Customer Success
- Work on high-impact leadership roles across Ireland
- Partner with established clients rather than chasing cold leads
- Opportunity to help shape and grow a key division
- Be part of a values-driven, relationship-led business
- Real opportunity to build meaningful long-term client partnerships
At Hadfield Green we are an equal opportunities employer and actively welcome applicants from all backgrounds. We're not a one size fits all type of organization, so if you need an accommodation or adjustment in advance of meeting due to a disability or impairment, just let us know and we'd be delighted to assist.
