Integrity
Honest advice about what is achievable in your market, even when it isn't what you hoped to hear.
About
Experienced recruitment. Genuine partnership.
With 15+ years across agency recruitment, in-house Talent Acquisition and HR, we provide a more personal, collaborative approach to hiring, working as an extension of your team rather than another external agency.
Both sides of the table
We understand the pressures behind the vacancy.
From workforce planning and market mapping to direct headhunting, interviewing, offer and onboarding, we work alongside your business and existing internal teams, providing as much or as little support as you need.
Think of us as an extra member of your team who happens to know the recruitment market inside out.
Why we exist
Hire Quality Talent was created to bridge that gap.
We don't simply take a job description and send CVs. We work alongside your internal team, understand the business behind the vacancy and take genuine ownership of the search.
We know the pressures internal teams face, from critical roles and overstretched resources to difficult hiring markets, succession gaps and managing multiple stakeholders. And we know where traditional agency recruitment can fall short.
We don't just recruit for your business. We work alongside it.
The founder
Hi, I'm Ciara.
I've spent over fifteen years in recruitment, talent acquisition and HR, on both the agency and the in-house side. I started Hire Quality Talent because I kept watching good businesses try to hire brilliant people from a queue of applicants that never quite contained them.
My specialism is commercial and sales leadership, and I work as an extension of your internal team rather than an agency on the outside of it. When you work with me, there's no handover to a junior team. You get me, from the first conversation about the role to the day your new hire walks in.
The best appointments I've made never came out of a queue.
What we bring
A gold standard, held to consistently.
Discretion
Confidential executive search handled quietly, protecting both your business and the candidates involved.
Outcomes that endure
We measure success by retention and performance twelve months on, not by the offer being accepted.
