Step into a Leadership Role That Shapes One of ICE Group’s Strongest Teams This is a standout opportunity to lead from the front in one of ICE Group’s most successful and strategic business units. As Recruitment BU Leader, you’ll play a pivotal role in driving delivery for key national clients while developing, motivating and empowering a high-performing recruitment team.
You’ll have real ownership of people, performance and process with the support and trust to make the role your own. This is an ideal next step for a senior recruiter or team lead who wants to broaden their impact, influence outcomes, and grow as a people leader within ICE Group.

Based in our Galway office, you will lead recruitment delivery across high-volume contingent workforce accounts, while building a culture that champions accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement. You’ll balance hands-on recruitment leadership with strategic planning, mentoring and stakeholder engagement, ensuring consistent, high-quality fulfilment for our clients and a positive, engaging environment for your team.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Lead end-to-end recruitment delivery across multiple national clients, managing sourcing, screening, interviews, offers and start management

• Partner closely with clients and internal stakeholders to forecast demand, agree recruitment plans and proactively manage risks
• Champion compliance and onboarding excellence, ensuring right-to-work checks, documentation and start readiness are completed accurately and on time
• Continuously improve how we recruit, refining sourcing strategies, templates and workflows while promoting best practice and consistent ATS/ISO processes
• Build for the future, supporting hiring into your own team, identifying capability gaps and creating development pathways that retain and progress talent
• Represent CWF with confidence, contributing to client meetings and workforce planning discussions with practical, solutions-focused insight

What You’ll Bring

• A degree in HR, Business, Recruitment or a related discipline
• 3-4 years’ experience in recruitment, ideally within high-volume, onsite, industrial or contingent workforce environments
• Experience coaching, mentoring or supporting others’ development (formal people management experience welcomed but not essential)
• Strong knowledge of Irish employment standards and candidate compliance
• A confident communicator who builds trust with clients, candidates and colleagues
• A structured, process-driven approach with the ability to prioritise and motivate in a fast-paced, target-led environment
• Comfort using ATS/CRM systems and recruitment reporting (JobAdder experience is a bonus)
