A different approach to challenging recruitment

Allen Recruitment combines more than 20 years of recruitment experience with talent data, market intelligence and advanced sourcing technology to help companies solve difficult hiring requirements across Ireland and Europe.

We look beyond the obvious candidate pool. Our recruiters use data to understand the market around your role, identify where the right talent is located and develop a realistic route to reaching it.

And we’re senior-led. Experienced recruiters remain directly involved in your search, bringing judgement, market knowledge and accountability throughout the process.

Deep experience. Modern technology. Direct senior involvement.

When the right candidates aren’t appearing, searching harder isn’t always the answer. We use talent data and market intelligence to understand why and find a better route to the right hire.

One Allen Method. Three Recruitment Services

Senior Appointments

Making a critical or sensitive hire?
For senior, business-critical or confidential appointments where the importance or sensitivity of the hire calls for a more considered approach.

Outsourced Recruitment

Need more recruitment capacity?
For businesses without internal recruiters, teams at capacity, or organisations that want to build their own long-term TA capability.

Agency Recruiting

When you want external recruitment support
Ideal when you want specialist recruiters, greater reach and choice in the market, or the flexibility to engage multiple recruitment partners.

Better hiring decisions start with better information

We analyse candidate availability, salary, location, skills, competitor activity and the wider talent market to help you understand what’s realistic before and during a search.

Understand the Requirement

We go beyond the job description to understand what success looks like, what really matters and where there may be flexibility.

Understand the Market

We use talent data and market intelligence to assess candidate availability, salary, location, skills and competing demand.

Build the Search Strategy

We use what we’ve learned to determine where the right talent is likely to be, how to reach them and how the opportunity should be positioned

Find & Engage the Right Talent

We combine targeted search, relevant outreach, networks and sourcing technology to reach suitable candidates, including those beyond the obvious applicant pool.

Assess, Refine & Deliver

We assess against agreed criteria, use feedback and market evidence to refine the search, and stay closely involved through interview, offer and hire.
