Brian Mc Fadden

Brian McFadden Profile

Director of Client Services Brian McFadden has worked in recruitment for more than 20 years. He set up RECRUITERS with Gerard Doyle because he saw a gap in the market between large recruitment agencies and niche professional services firms.

As a consultant, Brian works with clients to simplify problems and find solutions either through better recruitment processes, benchmarking existing talent within organisations to leverage them or indeed sometimes replacing them with new talent that can drive the business forward.

Before RECRUITERS, Brian became the highest billing consultant in technology and senior appointments in one of Ireland's largest plc recruitment companies, then specialist executive headhunting internationally for consumer goods. He also holds a master's in work and organisational psychology.

In his spare time, Brian likes going to the gym, running, swimming and cycling as well as cooking, reading, photography, woodwork and joinery.
