CareerWise Recruitment Dublin

Five offices across Ireland carry the work of CareerWise Recruitment, and its Dublin office is one of them. The agency also operates in Cork, Limerick and Shannon, Galway and Mayo, placing candidates with employers on both temporary and permanent terms. It describes itself as one of Ireland's leading recruitment agencies.

For candidates

CareerWise says it helps people at different points in a career: those just starting, those changing direction, and experienced professionals ready for a new role. It offers advice and support in preparing for interviews, and it describes giving candidates knowledge of the sector and role they are pursuing so they arrive prepared. Candidates can send a CV to join its network.

For employers

The agency says a company is only as strong as its talent, and that it works to place professionals with employers who share the same goals, which it believes builds more successful teams. It supplies temporary cover and long-term staff, and describes a network of professionals that can meet different business needs. It also provides executive search.

Sectors it recruits in

Its roles fall into these areas:

• engineering and technical
• supply chain, logistics and materials
• scientific and laboratory
• IT and software
• manufacturing and production
• accounting and finance
• executive and management
• HR and training
• sales and customer service

Guidance from the agency

CareerWise publishes advice for both sides of hiring, with articles on what makes a strong candidate, how to handle a counter offer, why good candidates reject job offers, emotional intelligence in selection and what a career in recruitment looks like. It also explains how recruitment agencies work: advertising vacancies for companies, keeping a database of job seekers and matching them after learning what each side wants.

The agency also takes part in local business events, such as the Cork Chamber annual dinner, which fits its regional spread across the country. Its list of offices makes it easy for a candidate or employer to find the branch nearest to them.
