At nineDots we are your trusted talent partner and gateway to Irish talent. We’ll get to know the who, the what and the why! Who you are, what you care about and why people would join. Let us put your best foot forward in the Irish market!

Just hoping for the right candidate isn’t exactly practical or cost-effective. You have one shot to attract the right person for the job. At nineDots, we will be your face to the market. We don’t just copy and paste your specs. Instead, we find out why we would want to join your company and what makes the role attractive. As you know, you can’t sell something you don’t believe in.

We recruit across all areas of tech - Software Dev, Product, Design, DevOps, InfoSec, Infrastructure, Test and Data. If you need a techie, we’ll know where to find them.

The lion’s share of our work is helping start-ups scale. Your first few hires are the most important you’ll ever make - we’re a start-up ourselves and we completely understand.

We can work with you on roles anywhere in the world - we've placed people into companies in South America, USA, Europe, and the Middle East. We're also experts in hiring for remote-first companies.

Structures

team.Inject - Whether you are looking to hire someone for a short term project or don’t have the budget for a permanent hire, we have you covered on either a fixed-term/daily rate basis.

team.Append - If you just need the occasional hire or aren’t sure what your hiring plan is yet, this is the simplest model. One hire, one invoice.



team.Extend - If you want to hire more than 10 people in the short to medium term and know what you want now, this might be the best model for you. Fixed costs with shared milestones. We will grow your team ensuring everyone is aligned from a culture perspective and will be with you every step of the way.

Why work with us

We won’t bombard you with unsuitable profiles. We’ll send you the right person who is genuinely interested in who you are and what you do. We can’t promise they’ll accept the job if offered (the universe is large and chaotic) but we’ll give you all the tools you need to make it happen. More importantly, we will continue to work alongside you as your company grows.

We aren't going to write a thesis on why we are the greatest recruitment agency ever (although we are 😀), we'll show you 2 testimonials written by companies that were brought over by the IDA over the last 3 years.

Vectra AI

Since Vectra AI (vectra.ai) moved to Dublin at the end of 2017 with a view to growing a world-class engineering team, we have placed the majority of their team here in Ireland; 19 people across every team (Front-end, DevOps, Product, Design). There is a running a joke created by them (not us, we promise) that one of their teams is called the nineDots team.

Here’s their testimonial -

"I have worked with Cian and his team in nineDots since the end of January 2018. Cian came recommended by the crowd on the ITC (Irish Tech Community) and it has been nothing short of eye-opening in terms of their service and delivery. They have been successful in filling nearly our whole team; this is why we dropped using all bar nineDots and one other agency - it cut out the noise and helped us focus on what we needed to do."

We interview nearly every person they send over - they really understand our technical stack so they only send us candidates who are a match for our needs. I like nineDots' approach, they are honest, really personable and add a lot of value to our business. They implemented a few things that we haven't seen other agencies use. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and continually do so."

Kontainers

When Kontainers moved to Dublin, they were working with a couple of agencies but liked our approach and took us on as exclusive partner - similar to that of Vectra. We have placed 15 people with them - practically their whole team; subsequently, they have since been acquired, we believe we played a large part in this. They were able to focus on building a world-class product while we helped them scale (and continue to do so).

Here’s their testimonial:

"nineDots have been instrumental in growing our development team. They understood our current hiring strategy which is 'quality over quantity', which also fits in with their philosophy well. There hasn't been one bad recommendation from them which saves a tremendous amount of time. If they are not representing you now, they should be."

We believe in the long term relationship - reaching out to us doesn’t mean we’re going to start immediately throwing CV’s at you. We’re happy to have a chat about your needs and expectations from the Irish market and go from there. A conversation with nineDots is not a formal engagement!
