“We brought Claddagh in to help build our Americas Account Executive team, and they placed eight AEs in a six-month window. What stood out was how they worked with us as a team. 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.”
Senior Vice President & Managing Director, Americas, Syniti
“On a seven-hour drive to my interview (a blizzard had cancelled my flight), he helped me find a hotel room, kept me awake and laughing during the drive, and coached me as best he could. Ryan had already prepared printed bullet points for me and had a strategy that proved to be a winning one. I got the job. He fought for me, but I know I am not special. Ryan does this for all his candidates.”
Consulting Strategy Executive, CFO/CIO Advisor, ex-EY, ex-KPMG
“Over five years they consistently submitted the best candidates, from consultant to Partner, across every vertical. Claddagh prepped their candidates very well, so interviews and placements were quicker. The candidate understood the role, the culture and the pay scale before interviewing. We made many placements across Europe and Australia thanks to Claddagh.”
