Donal O'Donoghue
Managing Director
I work with our clients to understand their business strategy and the people plan required to deliver that strategy. Whether it’s designing resourcing solutions for permanent hires or developing RPO or MSP solutions, for me, it’s all about creating customised programs that add value.
I work with organisations on cultural analysis and leadership development, improving team dynamics to achieve high performance. After 25 years in the recruitment and talent management business, I’m still passionate about the role we play as labour market enablers. I’m a regular speaker, media contributor, and radio panellist. I represented Ireland as an international athlete for many years, winning European and World silver medals and a World Cup along the way. If you are looking to solve talent, strategy or leadership challenges or need career advice to help you land your dream job, I’m here to help.
