Financial services recruitment specialisms

Dolmen Recruitment helps financial services employers in Dublin and across Ireland appoint experienced specialists and leaders.

Our work combines knowledge of the businesses we recruit for with an understanding of the functions that keep them operating, growing and meeting their responsibilities.

Asset management, investment management and ManCos

Recruitment for asset and wealth managers and fund management companies (ManCos), covering investment, operations, finance, distribution, risk, compliance and leadership appointments.

We consider the structure of the business, the responsibilities of the role and how the person will work with colleagues, boards and external service providers.

Fund administration and securities services

Specialist appointments across fund administration, custody, depositary and related investor services.

Areas of focus include fund accounting, fund operations, transfer agency, service-provider oversight, client relationship management and operational leadership.

Banking, credit and treasury

Recruitment across corporate, commercial and investment banking, alongside credit and treasury functions.

We help employers identify relevant experience across relationship management, credit analysis, risk, operations, finance and leadership.

Asset finance and leasing

Specialist and leadership recruitment for aircraft leasing and the wider asset finance market.

Searches can span commercial roles, transaction and portfolio management, finance, treasury, risk and in-house legal functions.

Risk, compliance and governance

Risk and compliance responsibilities vary considerably between financial services businesses. We take time to understand the entity, its activities, reporting structure and the scope of the appointment.

Our work covers compliance, financial crime, credit risk, market risk, operational risk and senior control and governance roles.

Roles across the business

Alongside sector knowledge, we recruit across the functions that financial services employers depend on:

  • Executive leadership and succession appointments

  • Risk, compliance and governance

  • Finance and accounting

  • Operations and service-provider oversight

  • Investment, trading and quantitative analytics

  • Sales, distribution and client relationship management

  • Treasury and credit

A search shaped around your organisation

The same job title can mean very different things in a lean Irish team and a large international organisation.

We look at the responsibilities, resources, working environment and expectations behind the title. That helps us identify people with relevant expertise and a clear understanding of what they are joining.

Every search is personally led by Hugh Murray, from the initial brief through candidate assessment and the appointment process.
