Why choose Dolmen Recruitment?
Hiring someone into a specialist role or leadership team is a decision that stays with your business. You need confidence in their ability to do the work, their reasons for joining and how they will work with the people around them.
Dolmen Recruitment brings specialist knowledge of Irish financial services together with personal delivery and careful assessment of long-term fit.
You work directly with Hugh Murray
Every search is personally led by Hugh, supported by a specialist resourcing team that helps identify, research and engage talent across Ireland’s financial markets.
That continuity matters. What we learn about your business carries through into every candidate conversation, assessment and recommendation. You have one experienced point of contact who understands both the role and the reasons behind it.
Market knowledge that makes the search more precise
Financial services experience is rarely interchangeable. Similar job titles can involve very different responsibilities, depending on the organisation’s size, structure, products and stage of development.
We take time to understand those differences before approaching people. Our focus on Irish financial services helps us identify relevant experience, ask informed questions and give you a realistic view of the market.
A network built through relationships
A job advertisement reaches people who see it and decide to respond. A targeted search also opens conversations with relevant professionals who may be open to a move but are not actively applying.
Long-standing relationships help us understand what might make an opportunity worth considering. We represent your business thoughtfully, with a clear explanation of the role, its challenges and its potential.

Assessment that looks beyond the CV
An impressive career does not automatically make someone right for your organisation.
Hugh’s organisational psychology perspective informs how we explore capability, motivation, expectations and working style. We consider the environment in which someone has succeeded, what they want next and what your business will need from them.
Fit does not mean finding people who all think alike. It means understanding how someone’s strengths and perspective can contribute to the team, and what they need to do their best work.
A considered shortlist and an honest view
Every introduction should have a clear reason behind it. We explain why we believe someone is relevant, what motivates their interest and which questions still need exploring.
If the brief, remuneration or expectations are limiting the search, we will tell you. Clear advice helps you make a better decision and gives candidates a fair understanding of the opportunity.
A relationship that looks beyond the appointment
An accepted offer is an important milestone. The real test is how the appointment works over time.
We pay attention to expectations on both sides throughout the process, helping employers and candidates make informed decisions about working together.
