IT Contract Recruiter – Hadfield Green
Letterkenny, Co. Donegal | Hybrid (2+ days in office)
Hadfield Green has been in business for over 6 years, providing leadership search, staffing solutions, and highly skilled IT contract services to clients across Ireland and beyond. Due to continued growth and ambition, we are now seeking an IT Contract Recruiter to join our team in a delivery-focused role.
The Role
As an IT Contract Recruiter, you will play a key role in managing the end-to-end recruitment process for IT contract vacancies. These can include roles such as:
* DevOps & Cloud Engineers
* Delivery Managers
* Data & Software Leaders
* IT Project Managers
* Test & QA Specialists
* Scrum Masters
* Interim Senior Managers
* Change & Transformation Leaders
* Cybersecurity Specialists
…and everything in between.
Working closely with our dedicated research and sourcing partner, you'll ensure the right talent is identified, mapped, and engaged for each project.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Collaborating with our sourcing partner to build targeted talent pipelines.
* Managing outreach messaging and engaging with candidates directly.
* Screening and interviewing candidates to ensure technical capability and cultural fit.
* Negotiating rates with both clients and contractors.
* Managing the recruitment process from initial contact through to placement and onboarding.
* Ensuring contractors are supported through onboarding, contracts, insurance, compliance, and timesheet management.
* Building and managing strong client relationships, acting as a trusted partner.
* Developing accounts by identifying new opportunities, maximising value for clients and contractors, and supporting our ambition to grow IT contract numbers.
This is not a cold-calling, direct sales role — but you will be expected to build rapport, exceed client expectations, and proactively look for additional revenue opportunities where everyone wins.
About You
We are looking for someone with recruitment experience (agency, in-house TA, or IT vendor background). You should:
* Be confident interviewing and screening candidates.
* Have strong business acumen and be capable of robust conversations with both contractors and clients.
* Be experienced in probing, asking direct questions, negotiating rates, closing deals, and overseeing onboarding.
* Bring proven account management and development skills.
* Ideally have knowledge (or a willingness to learn) of IT contracting governance – e.g. limited company contractors, umbrella services, contracts, insurances, onboarding processes, timesheet management, and invoicing.
* Have a working knowledge of IT concepts (e.g. software development, networks, operating systems, cloud).
Our Values
At Hadfield Green, our values underpin everything we do:
* Meaningful Relationships – we value trust and genuine connections.
* Meaningful Work – we partner with clients on projects that make a difference.
* Customer Success – we succeed when our clients and contractors succeed.
What We Offer
* Hybrid working model (minimum 2 days in our Letterkenny office).
* The opportunity to work with a growing, ambitious, and values-led team.
* Training and support on IT contracting governance where needed.
* Exposure to some of the most exciting IT projects in Ireland.
At Hadfield Green we are an equal opportunities employer and actively welcome applicants from all backgrounds. We're not a one size fits all type of organisation, so if you need an accommodation or adjustment in advance of meeting due to a disability or impairment, just let us know and we'd be delighted to assist.
