The Recruiter is an Irish recruitment agency specialising in sales and marketing hires for technology companies. We help international companies build their go-to-market teams in Ireland and across EMEA, from the first local hire to a full sales and marketing function.

A company new to Ireland is often unknown to candidates. We tell your story to the market, explain the role and the team, and bring you assessed candidates who want the job.

We recruit Heads of Sales and Marketing, Account Executives, SDRs, Partner and Channel Managers, Sales Engineers, Customer Success and RevOps, including multilingual roles for European markets.

Markets served: Ireland, the UK, EMEA and North America.

Clients choose from three engagement models: Recruitment as a Service, Embedded Recruitment, and Permanent Recruitment (retained and executive search).

Licensed by the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, Employment Agency Licence EA 4551.
