Permanent Recruitment

Thank you so much for your help and support in finding a new position. Your personal care and attention sets Alternatives head and shoulders above any other agency (I really mean that).”

Alternatives have always gone the extra mile to support me throughout my career. They have always taken a real interest in me and my success and I know of no other agency that makes such an effort to keep in touch & really know their candidates. When an opportunity came up to really step change my career, she was far more than a recruiter for me, she was an advisor, coach and my greatest advocate. Thank you!

From my initial meeting with Faye, she understood exactly what my requirements were. I had limited experience of recruiting staff and I relied heavily on her advice and expertise. She found the ideal candidate for us, not just in terms of the role but from the perspective of fitting in with the other team members and the culture of the organisation. I will absolutely use Alternatives for any future recruitment needs.

Alternatives were a fantastic agency to work with. They took both my personality and professional experience into account and placed me in an ideal position. Lauren was a pleasure to work with; Attentive, professional and always available to field queries.

I cannot recommend Alternatives services enough; they really are a unique, boutique style recruitment firm who put you first and want to achieve the best for you. Their services and support before, during and after I accepted the (data) role has proven that they show a fantastic duty of care for their clients and want to ensure that they have made the correct decision in their career path.

Alternatives are the best recruitment agency I've ever dealt with. My business manager was fantastic to work with. She made the effort to listen to me and understand my strengths and in no time at all managed to secure me one strong interview with an amazing company that I would happily work with. She was quick to understand the kind of role I was looking for and found the perfect job for me

She has been instrumental in enabling me to realise my career goals. From explaining to her what I was looking for in my next move, she proactively went to market to seed my capabilities with prospective companies and ultimately found me exactly what I was looking for. Throughout the entire process she was very encouraging, responsive and I felt she had my back all along the journey. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for their next career move. Without her help, I know I would never have found the role I am now so happy to be in.

Adrian is one the best I have ever worked with. He has a good understanding of analytics and the data science area and the Irish talent market. He did a great job in understanding my requirements for my team and the type of people I was looking for. His candidates were pre-screened and of high quality from both technical and non-technical aspects. Adrian also helped me a lot in updating our internal HR recruitment team's understanding of analytics and the market situation, which resulted in changing their initial benchmark. He is a professional recruitment consultant and I would highly recommend him.

She has been an immense help to me throughout my search for a change in my career. She understands the market extremely well and provided me with a hugely insightful view on realistic options that I could consider. When I went into the process for a new role, she was always in touch with updates and provided great guidance throughout the interviews, clearly demonstrating her knowledge of her client. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to make a move in their marketing career and I certainly intend to work with her again in relation to building my team.

Having worked with Alternatives for almost 3 years now I can honestly say I have never had such a positive and rewarding work experience before. Not only have Alternatives continuously found me highly suitable, personally and professional fulfilling and creative marketing roles that have excited, challenged and fulfilled me - they have also nurtured my career, professional development and job satisfaction every step of the way. They are the only company I am aware of that exclusively cultivates, develops, and rewards marketing talent here in Ireland and they do so with the greatest of assurance and the kindest touch. Their care and attention is second to none. Each and every one of the staff in Alternatives goes above and beyond the ordinary level of duty to look after their candidates, support their work and prize them professionally and personally. They are true gems. I wouldn’t hesitate, and indeed haven’t hesitated, to recommended them far and wide and hope on a personal level to continue working for them for some time to come.”

I'd highly recommend Alternatives in the data analytic space. They thoroughly understand their clients, the various roles in data analytics & how best to match the two… the follow-up & continuous support I've received have been exceptional. I couldn't recommend them enough.

They delivered strong, unique candidates for my senior management roles in risk analytics. No easy ask! Always helpful and timely with updates, I recommend them to address your recruiting needs in this challenging market.

Kristin did so much for me & my career by helping to place me in the right role with the right organisation…she took the stress out of the whole process for me by taking the time to answer any questions and by helping me to prepare for every interview. Nothing was too much trouble for Kristin and she went way beyond the call of duty for me. When I was successfully placed in the role she continued to follow up with me... I've recommended Kristin to a number of friends and I know they've had similarly excellent experiences.

I came across Lauren when looking for a new role after returning from Australia last year. I met with a lot of different recruiters but felt that none of them paid heed to my job aspirations. Lauren not only took on board my past employment history but factored in what I had briefed her about my ideal position and future ambitions. Second to that Lauren stayed in contact even when the market was slow just to touch base which added a personal factor that no other recruiter had shown.

My thoughts on Alternatives and Adrian It was a really professional experience dealing with Alternatives, very open, honest and transparent about finding the right role to fit my career. Adrian was helpful throughout the interview process with invaluable guidance and assistance for success. He had great industry knowledge about what clients needs are and how a candidate's attributes fit into the organisational goals of a potential employer. He wasn't pushy in any way and had courage to feedback if a role is simply not suitable. Overall it was a refreshing experience with Alternatives. Outside the norm of the vast majority of agencies that I have engaged with over the years.

In late 2017 Fáilte Ireland procured the services of Alternatives to recruit a Marketing Director. We found the experience to be a very positive one. The team in Alternatives worked to anticipate our needs, and brought a deep understanding of the marketing arena to bear on the process. Their professional approach and support throughout the process from both an organisation and candidate perspective brought a confidence to the whole engagement.  I would have no hesitation in engaging the team in the future.

Many thanks to your great team for all their work on this. You have a fantastic team there and I will be sure to recommend Alternatives to anyone who will listen!
