County Dublin, Ireland
If you see any relevant roles posted on our careers page - please apply directly! I get many requests about roles I am not currently working on, and as much as I would love to respond to everyone - there are just not enough hours in the day! I am an experienced Lead Technical Recruiter who feels passionate about technology & positive candidate and employee experience - so I'm delighted to be part of MongoDB. I have 10+ years of experience recruiting top tech talent and have loved (mostly!) every moment of it! I hold an M.Sc. In European Employment studies and a B.Sc. In Sociology & French, both from Trinity College Dublin. Here are some fun facts about MongoDB: - MongoDB is proud to be named a Leader in the 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant for Cloud Database Management Systems - for the 2nd year running! - Our Engineering culture is built on mutual respect, collaboration, with decision making at the IC level - We're constantly raising the bar in technical excellence - We're evolving from a general purpose DB, to a unified Developer Data platform. - First DB company to go public in more than 25 years. - According to IDC, the data management software market is forecast to be $94 billion in 2023, growing to approximately $153 billion in 2027, representing a 13% compound annual growth rate. - Continued focus & investment on DE&I - like most companies this is a journey we are on, with areas for improvement. But there have been great efforts made in terms of investments in training, technology (for diversifying recruitment), and dedicated resources/team members. - Gender-neutral parental leave! The way forward in terms of achieving gender equality in the workplace for working parents. - The people - what an amazing bunch of extremely supportive, smart, ambitious, helpful, passionate and fun team-mates. Here are some fun facts about me: - I'm a busy working mother. - I love dancing and music festivals. - I'm obsessed with Tiny Houses, small space living/decorating (despite living in a 3-bed semi in the suburbs!) - Sauna & cold water immersion make me feel alive! - I love crafting, amateur photography, freestyle cooking (no fun following recipes) & interior design. - I'm a disastrous baker as I never follow recipes!
From April 2026 onwards - I no longer hold IC responsibilities (i.e carrying a req load), and am focussed purely on management responsibilities (x2 FTE & x4 Contractor Technical Recruiters). From Oct 2025 - April 2026 - I formally became became a Lead Recruiter, holding a Player-Coach role, managing x1 FTE Senior Technical Recruiter (including P&G) and up to x2 Contract Tech recruiters. I occupy a hybrid "Player-Coach" role, combining hands-on delivery with team management. My focus is two-fold: ensuring my team has the mentorship and resources they need to succeed, and personally carrying a req load of "difficult-to-fill" roles. Officially stepped into this role in October, but have been informally managing a team of contract Tech Recruiters since mid-June 2025.
- EMEA Technical Recruitment team - Full cycle recruitment
Back to full-cycle technical recruitment on the EMEA TechRec team. This time I got to apply newly acquired Diversity and executive recruiting and sourcing skills, gained over the previous 8 months in the global Diversity Recruiting team. - Continued to build out MongoDB's super-talented engineering product teams at all levels - with an EMEA focus. - Given my passion for sourcing and research - I spent about 25% of my time on Executive Research/ Sourcing - focusing on "top-of-funnel" and partnered with a full-cycle Executive Recruiter to fill executive-level roles here at MongoDB.
Specialising in Technical recruitment (Software Engineering, SRE & DevOps).
I made the move back to Ergo, then focusing on a number of areas covering: Project Managers, Business Analysts, Software Developers, Microsoft Solutions experts (functional & technical: Dynamics CRM, SharePoint, Office 365 & Azure), and DevOps & Cloud Engineers. My role can be described as a hybrid between in-house and external recruitment (Recruitment as a Service). As well as partnering with internal hiring managers to help build and grow their teams - we also provided, both contract and permanent recruitment services for our clients - both Private & Public Sector. Ergo "IT Resourcing” is the dedicated resourcing division of Ergo, one of the fastest-growing Irish technology service companies. Ergo's IT Resourcing recruitment team prides itself on dedicating as much time to finding the right staff for our clients as we would for ourselves.
I specialised in both Permanent & Contract recruitment in the Software Development market within Ireland. The technologies I focused on included: .Net (C#, VB.Net, ASP.Net, MVC), Java, C++ & Python.
During my time in Ergo Resourcing my core area recruitment was software development (.Net & Java) and Test/QA. I also had exposure to other areas of IT recruitment including Infrastructure, Support and PMO.
