Bio
Carmit Harnik Saar
Matthew is extremely committed to his clients, both companies and professional individuals, and very successful with keeping everyone's interest at heart. His mentoring before an interview goes a long way and definitely helps with reaching professional goals. His personal involvement works magic, giving you a real feeling that you are looked after and that everything will turn out for the best. Thanks to him I found a company which is almost second home to me - for that I am truly grateful. Thank you Matthew.

From my experience with Matt as an agent, I can attest, that Matt works in the best interest of his client. Due to his engagement and experience in the industry, he thoroughly understands what is needed and what is possible when changing positions. He works in close co-operation with his client to find that tailored position. He understands perfectly that the right place has to offer a balanced package. His personal approach to find the best suited spot rather than just producing numbers makes it work so well. Also, he is happy to give valuable advice if needed. While having lots of drive himself, he will let you take the time you need. In case you are looking for an agent or he happens to contact you, as was the case with me, you won't be disappointed.

Feb 2006 - Feb 2009
Director and part owner in charge of Design Recruitment within the Irish Market. We built this company to 15 consultants working predominately in the Irish Design, Construction and Engineering sector, and then with the slowdown in the Irish eceonmy, we refocused the business to international recruitment, predominately focused on the Middle East and Australia. In a short period of time the agency won 5 awards at the NRF Awards in Ireland, including Best New Agency, Best Small Agency, and Best in Sector. Was lucky to mentor and work with some great consultants, as well as work with some excellent candidates, placed into companies in Ireland and around the world, including Australia, Canada, the UAE, China, KSA, and Qatar. Set up international recruitment agency, Globester Recruitment on the back of this, with Business Partner and current Director of Globester Recruitment, John Duffy.
