01 What it covers

Executive Search: how it works for Limerick teams

Executive search is a targeted, research-led method for hiring senior and hard-to-fill leadership roles, where the best candidates are usually employed and not actively applying. Instead of posting a job and waiting, Pitch N Hire maps the relevant talent market, discreetly approaches qualified passive candidates, and runs structured, evidence-based assessment against the role's real requirements. This is used for engineering leadership, architecture, and specialist senior roles where a wrong hire is expensive and confidentiality matters. PNH's search process pairs experienced recruiters with structured interview tooling to keep the assessment consistent and defensible, whether the role is based locally or leads an offshore team.

  • Research-led mapping of the relevant leadership market
  • Discreet approach to qualified passive candidates
  • Structured, evidence-based senior assessment
  • Suited to engineering leadership and business-critical roles
  • Protects your employer brand and confidentiality
  • Higher-quality, more comparable shortlists
02 How it runs

How executive search works with Pitch N Hire

  1. Role & success profile

    We work with you to define the mandate — responsibilities, the outcomes the leader must deliver, and the competencies and experience that predict success in your context.

  2. Market mapping

    PNH researches and maps the relevant talent market, building a longlist of qualified people in comparable roles at comparable organisations — including those not actively looking.

  3. Discreet approach

    Candidates are approached confidentially and professionally, protecting your employer brand and the candidates' current positions while gauging genuine interest and fit.

  4. Structured assessment

    Interested candidates go through structured, evidence-based interviews and scorecards against the success profile, so the shortlist is comparable and defensible, not gut-feel.

  5. Shortlist to offer

    You interview a small, high-quality shortlist; we support referencing, offer negotiation and a careful close, given how much a senior hire matters.

04 Local market

The Limerick hiring market for this role

Limerick is the commercial and technology centre of Ireland's Mid-West, with a long engineering and advanced-manufacturing heritage now feeding growth in enterprise software, analytics and shared technology services. Anchored by a large, industry-focused university and the National Technology Park at Plassey, the city sustains steady demand for software, data and manufacturing-systems engineers across regional operations and multinational back-office and R&D centres.

Limerick talent blends manufacturing and applied engineering with enterprise software, strong in Java, .NET, data, automation and systems integration, supported by a university known for its cooperative-education model and close industry links. Costs are competitive and retention is good, but demand for senior data, cloud and specialist engineers can outpace the Mid-West's local supply, prompting offshore support to keep delivery moving.

05 Cost

Cost & the offshore option in Limerick

Limerick developer salaries generally run below Dublin and broadly in line with other regional Irish hubs, with senior engineers often around EUR 55k-78k. Employers scaling data, integration or delivery-heavy work often blend local Limerick hires with offshore India-based engineers through PNH to widen the talent pool and manage blended cost.

For Limerick's enterprise-software and manufacturing-systems teams, PNH provides offshore engineering capacity — vetted India-based developers and data engineers employed through an Employer of Record on Irish-hours overlap — to accelerate delivery-heavy programmes without expanding local salary commitments or setting up a new entity.

08 Why us

Why Limerick companies choose Pitch N Hire

Vetted talent, fast

A pre-screened India talent pool means matched shortlists in days, not the months a local permanent hire can take.

You stay in control

You interview and choose every person; Pitch N Hire surfaces qualified candidates and handles the operational load.

Compliance handled

Offshore hires are employed through PNH's India Employer of Record — payroll, tax and statutory compliance are taken care of.

Lower blended cost

Building part of your team offshore keeps comparable seniority on the roster at a lower total cost than local-only hiring.

Overlapping hours

Engineers work on overlapping working hours and inside your tools and sprints — collaboration, not black-box outsourcing.

One partner, many needs

Staffing, recruitment, EOR and the ATS/interview software come from one provider, so hiring stays joined-up as you scale.

FAQ

Executive Search in Limerick — FAQs

What roles does executive search cover for Limerick companies?
Executive search suits senior and hard-to-fill roles for Limerick companies — heads of engineering, architects, and functional leaders — where the strongest candidates are employed and must be approached discreetly rather than sourced from applications.
How is executive search different from standard recruitment in Limerick?
Standard recruitment works an active applicant pool; executive search proactively maps the Limerick-relevant market and approaches passive senior candidates with a discreet, research-led, structured-assessment process built for business-critical leadership hires.
Is the search confidential?
Yes. For sensitive Limerick leadership hires PNH runs the search discreetly — approaching candidates confidentially and protecting both your employer brand and the candidates' current roles throughout the process.
Can you find leaders for our offshore team too?
Yes. PNH can run executive search for leaders of India-based or offshore teams as well as local Limerick roles, using the same research-led, structured process to secure the right senior person.
How much does executive search in Limerick cost?
Cost depends on the roles, seniority and engagement length. Building capacity offshore from India through Pitch N Hire is typically a materially lower blended cost than hiring the same seniority locally in Limerick, and PNH gives you a clear quote for your specific requirement — talk to the team for pricing.
How do I get started with executive search for my Limerick team?
Share your requirement with Pitch N Hire — the roles, skills and timeline. You'll get a matched shortlist or a tailored plan within days, interview and select the people yourself, and onboard them into your Limerick team, with PNH handling employment and compliance.
Are the candidates vetted before they reach my Limerick team?
Yes. Every candidate Pitch N Hire puts forward for a Limerick company is pre-screened for skills, experience and communication, and assessed with structured interviews — so your shortlist is genuinely qualified and you keep the final hiring decision.
Can I hire a whole team or just one person in Limerick?
Both. A Limerick company can start with a single vetted specialist and scale to a full offshore pod as the roadmap grows, or stand up a whole team from day one. Pitch N Hire flexes capacity up or down with short notice, so you commit only to what you need right now.
How does time-zone collaboration work with an offshore Limerick team?
Pitch N Hire structures offshore engagements around a daily working-hour overlap with your Limerick team, plus clear async handoffs for the rest of the day. Engineers join your standups, tools and code review under your direction, so it feels like an extension of your team rather than a hand-off to a separate vendor.
What if an augmented Limerick hire isn't the right fit?
You interview and approve every person, which keeps the fit-rate high — but if someone isn't working out, Pitch N Hire replaces them quickly from its vetted pool and manages the transition, so your Limerick team's delivery keeps moving.
