Executive Recruiter – Executive Search
Osborne Executive Search is continuing to build a high-performance Executive Search function and we are looking to hire an experienced Executive Recruiter to play a key role in its growth.
This is not a typical recruitment role. It is suited to someone operating at, or ready to step into, a true executive search environment—working closely with senior stakeholders, delivering on retained assignments, and influencing leadership hiring decisions across industry.
With flexibility to be based in any of our regional offices throughout Ireland this role offers autonomy, ownership, and the opportunity to build a meaningful executive client portfolio.
The Role
You will lead and deliver senior-level search assignments while contributing directly to the growth of the executive function.
Deliver end-to-end executive search assignments, primarily at C-suite, Director and senior leadership level
Build and develop long-term, trusted client relationships with senior decision-makers
Act as a strategic advisor, providing insight on talent, market trends, and leadership structures
Drive business development, identifying and converting new executive-level opportunities
Develop and maintain a high-calibre candidate network through proactive search, mapping and referrals
Partner closely with clients to understand culture, strategy and leadership requirements
Maintain a highly professional, discreet and consultative approach throughout all engagements
Contribute to the growth, positioning and credibility of the Executive Search practice
About You
3+ years’ recruitment experience, with exposure to senior or executive-level hiring
Demonstrated ability to win, manage and grow client relationships
Commercially driven, with a strong understanding of fee generation and pipeline management
Confident operating with senior stakeholders and able to influence at executive level
Experience in a retained or search-led environment is a strong advantage
Self-sufficient, proactive and comfortable working with a high degree of autonomy
Strong communication, judgement and credibility
What This Role Offers
The opportunity to be part of a growing executive search function, not just another desk
Autonomy to build your own market and client base
Access to existing networks, brand and infrastructure to support delivery
Competitive base salary and strong commission structure aligned to performance
Flexible working across multiple office locations
Ongoing development in executive search, client advisory and leadership hiring
All conversations will be handled with strict confidentiality.
