My name is James, I have worked in Careers and Hiring for over 7 years. My background is in recruitment primarily in IT, software and gaming. . In my first role, I was lucky enough to build relationships with hiring managers in companies such as Mastercard, Verizon and AOL, helping them to hire staff into their Irish offices. Following on from there, I moved into in-house corporate recruiting working in the videogames industry for Havok (and Irish founded software company now owned by Microsoft). I managed the overall recruiting function for Havok world-wide for three and half years, hiring staff for Ireland, Germany, San Francisco, and Asia. I have recently been contracting into multinational companies including Google where I was involved in helping to hire staff for their new flagship Data Center in the Netherlands.
I understand how the hiring process works and the criteria companies look for from job applicants, particularly within the technology sector. I am passionate about working with job-seekers to help provide a cutting edge for your personal Career Brand. If you would like some real-world practical advice on your CV, your online profile or market knowledge, I would love to help.
