Executive search since 1996

Growth is a talent problem before it is a strategy problem.

We find the leaders who fix it, for global systems integrators, enterprise technology firms, consultancies and law firms across the US, the UK and Europe.

Tell us the role. We come back in thirty days.

You are not handed to a queue. One named consultant runs your search from the first call to the signed offer, backed by a research team that has been building candidate lists continuously since 2000. That is why a shortlist here takes weeks rather than months.

A shortlist in thirty days

People who fit, with the reasons written down, not a stack of résumés.

A name and a phone number

The person running your search, not an account manager relaying messages.

Five cities, two continents

Atlanta, New York, London, Dublin and Co. Donegal.

We call when something genuinely fits.

Send us your résumé. It stays confidential, it never reaches a client without your say-so, and you hear back either way. We would rather tell you honestly that a role is wrong for you than waste an afternoon of your time.

Confidential, always

Nothing moves without your explicit go-ahead.

No mass emails

If one of our recruiters calls you, there is a reason behind it.

Senior roles, three continents

Director, partner and C-level across technology, consulting and law.

Placing leaders since 1996.

Peter Casey founded Claddagh in Atlanta in 1996 and led it until 2018, when his son Ryan took over. Ten people now work across five cities. Everyone here has a named practice, a phone number and a face on this site, which is rarer in this industry than it ought to be.

578 placements in the past decade

Counted from our own records, not estimated.

61 client companies

Global systems integrators, enterprise software, consultancies and law firms.

Twenty-five years of research

Jennifer McAuley has run our candidate research since December 2000.

Thirty years of judgment, and the tools we built ourselves.

Send us a résumé and we can say quickly which of our open roles that person fits. Send us a job description and we pull out the people who actually match it. The software does the searching, reading and remembering. The judgment and the hard phone call stay with us.

It runs both directions

Start with a person, or start with the role.

Lists that stay warm

Research runs all year, not only when a job lands.

A recruiter reads everything

No shortlist reaches a client unread.

“Rather than sending résumés and waiting, they sat in our sales leadership meetings, heard the same pipeline and territory conversations our leaders discussed, and adjusted their targeting in real time. That is why the hires landed.”
