Tell us about yourself & DB Search
I’m from Castleknock originally, but now live in Bettystown with my partner. I love having the beach on my doorstep! I joined DB just over a year ago, I really enjoy working in the construction and engineering industry. I get to speak and meet with great people every day.
Tell us about your background?
My background is in retail. I studied Visual Merchandising in D.I.T and graduated in 2015. I worked in retail for over 10 years and really enjoyed it. I’m a creative person so working in visual merchandising was a fulfilling job.
How did you get into recruitment?
Like many recruiters…I got into it by chance! I had a friend working in tech recruitment at the time who said it was a great job, and super social. I felt ready for a change from retail. After a couple of interviews here and there, a construction recruitment agency took a chance on me and the rest his history.
How has your background helped you in your role?
My role in retail was super focused on KPI’s. I loved them, I enjoyed seeing my worked reflected in numbers. It was a motivator. Recruitment progress needs to be tracked too, so my experience and interest with KPI’s came in handy.
Why did you chose to join DB Search?
I felt at home from the beginning of my interview. I got great energy from the office, and could see myself fitting in well with the team.
What do you like about your role?
I enjoy getting to talk to so many people from different walks of life. No two days are the same in recruitment. I have the opportunity to speak to someone new every day, and learn about their life and career.
What makes you stay in DB Search?
The people! My team are great. I feel supported and motivated to do well.
What makes DB Search Unique?
DB Search are specialist recruitment consultants in the Irish construction industry. We build long-term relationships with our clients and candidates. Our placements are never transactional!, and we always do our best to provide a solutions oriented approach to hiring.
What is your favourite mantra?
“This too shall pass.” Is one of my favourites! It’s a good reminder to cherish the great times that you have, and know that the hard times will pass too.
Fun fact about you?
I’m a Canadian citizen, I lived in Vancouver for 7 years!
Where would we find you when you are not recruiting?
Probably walking on the beach, or planning a road trip! I’m also a bit of a foodie, so I’m always up for trying a new restaurant 😊
