Senior Consultant - Leadership Search (300 Role)

Permanent Division Location: Remote (Ireland) with regular Dublin client engagement Company: Hadfield Green

About Hadfield Green

Hadfield 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 Role

This 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 Focus

You 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 Model

This 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

Why Join Hadfield Green

• 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.
