Dublin Recruiters
Connecting Companies with Top Talent in Dublin
Our Executive Recruitment Services in Dublin
Dublin led the country’s economic expansion during a period of rapid growth from the mid-1990s to the late 2000s. While several of Dublin’s traditional industries, such as brewing, distilling, textile manufacturing, and food processing, have since started to decline, the presence of a number of international pharmaceutical, information, and communications technology companies in Dublin City has resulted in more economic growth. It has also led to Dublin sometimes being called the ‘Tech Capital of Europe’. Another important sector is financial services, which grew to prominence after Dublin’s International Financial Services Center was established in 1987.
Keller Executive Search is a local recruitment agency and executive search firm in Dublin with international reach. We specialize in identifying, evaluating, and securing exceptional talent for companies in multiple sectors, helping them to maintain their competitive edge in their respective markets. We also assist businesses with leadership consulting, onboarding support, succession planning, and more.

Our Process
Keller Executive Search is one of the top recruitment agencies in Dublin, providing bespoke staffing solutions to clients seeking the best talent in their respective sectors.

Our team of recruitment experts is also available to offer guidance and support throughout the entire recruitment journey so any issues can be dealt with before they become real problems.
Our recruitment process begins with defining the requirements of the job search. This involves meeting with our client’s business leaders and key stakeholders and determining whether they require a temporary or permanent recruitment solution, the requirements for the role, and what they expect from candidates. This information helps us to narrow down our search and shapes a clear picture of the ideal candidate, ensuring that we deliver the right person for the job. Once the job search criteria have been established, our recruitment consultants can begin analyzing the market for potential hires.
Upon finding a candidate that matches the job requirements, we will evaluate them to confirm their suitability for the role. This extensive screening process includes criminal history, background, and reference checks. If the candidate in question meets or surpasses our evaluation, we will introduce them to the client, who has the final say on who to hire.

"Keller Executive Search made sourcing a Head of AI here in Dublin feel straightforward, which is saying something in this market. They didn't just send CVs-they gave context on how each candidate would fit our team's culture. The person they placed has already streamlined projects in ways we hadn't even pitched. No fluff, just real expertise in Dublin's tight-knit tech scene."

"I've worked with a few firms, but Keller Executive Search stood out for their no-nonsense approach. We needed a Finance Director who could navigate both Irish and EU regulations, and they delivered someone who hit the ground running. Their team even flagged soft skills we hadn't prioritized but ended up needing. In Dublin's competitive talent pool, that attention to detail matters."
