We also handle a growing number of client driven search and selection assignments for senior appointments in other functions including Operations, HR and General Management.

We also handle all types of Marketing Agency roles at all levels.
Our Sales division “Sales People” manages assignments from Sales Support, Customer Service, Telesales/Telemarketing, through Account Management, Business Development at all levels, Field Sales Management, in fact, all sales roles up to and including Head of function.
Additionally we cover a number of other roles such as Channel Management, Business Planning and Sales and Marketing Management, which could fall under either category.
Management People is our specialist search division which specialises in the sourcing and recruitment of all head office senior personnel. This division comes into its own where we need to dig deep to find the candidates that clients are looking for – those candidates who by their nature are not actively looking for a move.
Administration People, as the name suggests cover all types of support people across all Head Office functions, from PA’s to receptionists, customer service personnel, Sales administrators, office juniors, HR administrators, junior accounts etc
Modus Operandi
The People Group operates in a slightly different manner to the majority of recruitment agencies, in that we interview all of our candidates initially when they register with us and again for each position for which we believe they may be suitable. By operating in this way, we ensure that we only recommend to our clients candidates capable of doing the job in question. This policy ensures that time is not wasted by either the client or the candidates.
For all recruitment requirements we work very closely with clients, taking a full briefing for each assignment. This can take up to an hour or more but pays dividends in the long run in that only suitable candidates are submitted for interview.
We operate a variety of systems to ensure that we identify the best candidates. The starting point is a database search using our state of the art networked database system which includes the most up-to-date recruitment, candidate and client tracking system.This system includes extensive market intelligence on candidates who are not actively on the market.
Our website is an essential tool for promoting roles to candidates. Because of our specialist nature the website attracts large numbers of quality candidates (sales, marketing, management and administration) from both Ireland and overseas.
We are extremely active in the market place in our own specialist areas of operation and are aware of what is going on and who is on the move. Our varied industry experience allows us to contribute considerably to the selection process as a partner rather than a pure service provider.
