Talent Choice

Meet Our Founder

Hi, I’m Vanessa, founder of Talent Choice. After 18 years in recruitment and three children later I set up Talent Choice with a clear purpose: to offer businesses in North Dublin and beyond a more personal, flexible and results driven approach to hiring. I don’t run a high volume agency. I partner one to one with businesses who want more than a pile of CVs. Clients come to me when they need someone who really gets their business, who can advise on strategy, spot the right talent, and act as an extension of their team. I do this all from Talent Choice HQ, aka my fully kitted out home office! Whether you're hiring for a scaling business, an expanding accounting team or a niche senior hire, I bring insight, care and efficiency to the process. I know how costly the wrong hire can be and how valuable the right one is. My approach is consultative, honest and hands on. Every search is tailored, combining advertising, local market knowledge and targeted outreach to find the best fit. And because I only work on a handful of roles at a time, my clients get my full focus. I set up Talent Choice to work in a way that makes sense for me, for my family and for the businesses I support. It’s a modern model rooted in traditional values of respect, transparency and engagement. If you're based in North County Dublin or surrounding areas and want to partner with someone who really knows the local market, reach out.

Our process begins with a detailed consultation to understand your goals, company culture, and the demands of the role. We then build a candidate profile and carry out market research to identify suitable individuals. Through targeted outreach and screening, we present you with qualified, motivated candidates ready to contribute from day one.

We manage every step — interviews, feedback, offer negotiations, and onboarding — ensuring a smooth, efficient experience for both employers and job seekers.

We help employers hire for permanent and fixed term contract roles across accounting, HR, marketing, operations and administration, from junior to senior level appointments. Whether you need one strategic hire or multiple our solutions are flexible and results driven. For executive roles, our discreet headhunting approach delivers top level leadership talent.

With deep sector knowledge and access to both active and passive candidates, we offer a smarter way to recruit with less risk and stronger long term results. What sets us apart is our one point of contact model. You're not dealing with one recruiter for one role and another for the next. We believe a good consultant takes the time to understand your business and offers a personal, consultative service, allowing you to recruit across a broad range of roles through one trusted partner.

Choosing Talent Choice means choosing a partner who places people first, communicates with integrity, and collaborates with purpose.

  • Discovery: Understanding Your Unique Requirements
    Every successful placement begins with deep discovery. In this phase, we take the time to immerse ourselves in your company’s culture, business goals, team structure, and specific role requirements. We hold in depth consultations with stakeholders to gather vital information about the organisation’s pain points, long-term objectives, and expectations from the ideal candidate. This ensures we don’t just fill a vacancy, but help build future leadership. Key outcomes: Alignment with business goals Defined expectations for cultural fit and skill sets Clarity on project timelines and hiring urgency
  • Craft: Building a Strategic Recruitment Blueprint
    Once the discovery phase is complete, we move to the crafting stage. Here, we develop a bespoke hiring strategy tailored to your organisation. We meticulously craft job descriptions and candidate personas that reflect both your brand and the role’s core objectives. Talent Choice ensures every job advert is SEO optimised and brand aligned, attracting the right candidates while discouraging ill-fitting applicants. This reduces screening time and increases the quality of applicants. Key outcomes: Precise job briefs and role-specific KPIs Enhanced employer branding in job adverts Targeted outreach and sourcing methods
  • Define: Establishing Success Metrics
    Before candidate sourcing begins, we define clear hiring metrics to ensure every stakeholder understands what success looks like. These metrics might include time to hire, candidate satisfaction, diversity goals, and long-term retention rates. By having quantifiable outcomes, we can continually assess performance and make data informed decisions throughout the process. Key outcomes: Agreed-upon success benchmarks Alignment across hiring teams Improved accountability and transparency
  • Leverage: Activating Our Extensive Networks
    This is where the power of our network and technology stack comes into play. We leverage a global pool of active and passive candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, executive databases, and sector specific platforms. We also tap into AI driven tools and internal CRM systems that enable us to map talent effectively and uncover candidates not visible through conventional platforms. Key outcomes: Access to exclusive, high calibre talent Faster and smarter candidate identification Stronger pipelines for future hiring
  • Profile: Analysing and Curating Talent Matches
    In this stage, we conduct deep candidate profiling, going beyond CVs. Each individual is evaluated against a robust set of criteria including behavioural traits, leadership potential, technical proficiency, and cultural compatibility. This ensures our recommendations are holistic and insight driven, saving your internal team countless hours and reducing the risk of mishires. Key outcomes: Tailored candidate reports with detailed insights Alignment with team dynamics and business needs Advanced profiling through psychometrics (if required)
  • Screen: Rigorous Initial Candidate Filtering
    Screening is more than just a phone call. We conduct structured screening interviews that assess not only competency but motivation, emotional intelligence, and long-term potential. This process weeds out unsuitable applicants and ensures only those who meet both the technical and cultural benchmarks proceed further. Key outcomes: Streamlined shortlisting Enhanced accuracy in candidate selection Quality over quantity in submissions
  • Shortlist: Presenting High Calibre Candidates
    By this stage, you’ll be presented with a refined shortlist of candidates who not only match the role specification but demonstrate a strong alignment with your company’s ethos. Each candidate comes with a comprehensive summary, outlining strengths, areas of development, interview feedback, and motivations for the role. Key outcomes: A curated pool of ready to interview professionals Supporting documentation for informed decisions A higher ratio of interview to offer conversion
  • Interview: Structured and Informed Client Interviews
    We work closely with your team to manage and structure the interview process effectively. From setting expectations to designing competency based questions, we ensure each interview stage is purposeful and strategic. We provide clients with interview frameworks and scoring rubrics to maintain fairness and consistency throughout. Key outcomes: Interviews aligned with business priorities Reduction in unconscious bias Detailed post-interview feedback loops
  • Negotiate: Facilitating Seamless Offer Management
    We act as your strategic partner during the negotiation phase. At Talent Choice, we manage salary discussions, benefits, start dates, and counteroffer scenarios with professionalism and discretion. We maintain regular contact with both parties to ensure smooth onboarding, reducing drop off rates and ensuring the best possible start for your new hire. Key outcomes: Competitive and fair offer packages Reduced candidate fallout
