Talentspot is a specialist, Dublin based technology recruitment consultancy. We set-up Talentspot to provide a platform for us to enjoy our work, our workplace, build long-standing relationships and be impactful for our clients and candidates. We’re fortunate enough to represent and support a diverse customer base of well-known and highly regarded enterprises. From established technology-rich, blue-chip global market leaders in areas like technology, gaming, finance, consultancy, logistics and retail to tech start-ups looking to disrupt the status quo.
