How we helped

With our international resourcing strategy and extensive network including white-collar professionals relocating from Ireland and the UK, we successfully supported Durkin in filling several high-demand roles across the construction sector. By providing access to a unique pool of experienced and qualified candidates—many of whom would be unreachable through traditional recruitment channels—we significantly broadened their talent pipeline. This approach not only accelerated their time-to-hire but also ensured a strong alignment between candidates’ skills, values, and the company’s culture. We continue to deliver a tailored hiring solution that drives long-term success.
