nineDots was founded in Cian’s kitchen in 2017. How time has flown since then! We’ve grown from a one-man-band to a ten person crew, and have helped lots of companies grow in that time.
Why are we here though? Surely there are enough recruitment agencies out there?There are, but with nineDots the idea was to approach things by thinking outside the box (like the nineDots puzzle, geddit?!).
Thinking outside the box has become a lived value for us, and part of who we are :)We felt that recruitment as an industry gets a bad rep, and more often than not it’s due to a lack of honesty. Our decision to just be ourselves, be transparent and help where we can has meant that we’ve been able to help companies grow, give back to the community, offer advice to those who need it, and show that there are some genuine folk in recruitment!
Over the years we’ve kept ourselves small and nimble. We’re adaptable because we don’t have any red tape to hold us back, we’ve grown our presence outside of Ireland because nobody can tell us not to, and we collaborate closely with each other - because team work makes the dream work!As for the future, we’ve big plans! We’ve gone from a kitchen table to our own office, so if we keep thinking outside the box we can’t go too far wrong!

Founder & CEO
Hot Sauce Sommelier 🌶️
Been in ‘the game’ for the last 10 years, for my sins 😂, but have loved every minute of it.
I like hot sauce (and anything spice related), hacking around a golf course, I claim I still skate (once, maybe twice a year) and am a fan of Hip Hop/Jungle/DnB and love me some Pop Art.
Recently become a bulldog owner, she is class. That is all.
Software Engineering; Python, .Net, Golang
Backseat Chef | CPO | Bento Box Enthusiast
I am a positive and entrepreneurial person who has a get-up-and-go attitude to life. Even after 5 years of recruitment :-) In this game you treat people like people and the chips should fall in your favour and hopefully be your flavour!
In my free time, I am always outdoors and traveling. Recently this has been in the form of learning more about soils, slugs, spuds, and sprouts in my family allotment with my parents... Although it's mostly manual labour, I think it's my Mr Miyagi moment.
DevOps
DevOps Finder, Digital Stalker, Cat Herder
I ended up in technical recruitment after realising it was the ideal place to utilise the devastating combination of being massively nerdy and a love of talking about technology.
I spend roughly 95% of my waking hours on the internet, keeping myself meme proficient.
In a previous life, I worked in the Natural History Museum in Dublin cataloging animals - forming a taxonomy of technologies was easy after learning the entire animal kingdom in Latin! I love technology in all its forms - I mostly recruit for the vast spectrum of jobs in Ops; DevOps, SRE, InfoSec, etc.
I look the same now but my hair is purple.

Head of People Ops
Design Dabbler | CCO | MasterChef Wannabe
I got into recruitment back in 2014, and am now in People Ops - how time flies! After spending a few years away soaking up the sun (and pretending I was in Home and Away!) I'm back in the Emerald Isle and immersing myself in my passion for design and people.
When I'm not at work I can mostly be found in the gym, veganising delicious meals, trying to make friends with cats and doing a spot of photography (although my website is constantly under construction!)

Software Engineering
Pun lover, Simpson's S2-S10 fan
Like most others, I fell into recruitment and it has proven to have been an excellent life choice for me. I like talking tech and speaking to people, so this job ticks the boxes for me.
Outside of work, I love to spend time with my missus and son, play a spot of golf when time permits, and love a pint of Guinness. Love rugby and football and when it comes to TV I love Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld and of course, The Simpsons.
I specialise in software engineering recruitment but don't mind getting my hands dirty in any facet of tech recruitment. It's good fun!
Networking, Support & QA
Plant Whisperer, Heavy Metal Addict & Office IT Guy
I'm about a year and a half into recruiting now and I'm still here so that's something. I have a background in IT and Psychology, so tech recruiting feels like the perfect place where I can mix both.
I'm a Shamrock Rovers season ticket holder and if I am not playing or listening to music you can find me tending to my vegetable garden or trying to learn Chinese. Wish me luck with that one. I also love Sumo wrestling. And beans.
Design, Mobile and Sales
Synth man, Part time meme creator
Recruitment is never something I saw myself doing until Mick gave me a call and said “I think you’d be good at it”. Since joining nineDots I’ve realised how suited to it I am, I’ve been involved in music industry for the last 10 years and have always enjoyed getting to know new people and linking them up with others on the same level as them.
Outside of work I can be found making music, hiking with the other half, watching YouTube videos about F1 (trying to understand tyre grip) and pretending I’m Gordan Ramsay in a kitchen.

Software Development
Deflated United Fan, Ex-Hairmesser
I spent almost 15 years in a career where talking to people all day was my bread and butter. So when time came for a change, and my knees and back started to show their age - recruitment seemed like the perfect fit. Chatting to people and forming relationships are my buzz (plus I get to sit down now while I do it 🤗)
When not enjoying my new chair, I can be found faffing about in the Irish sea, listening to hip-hop and taking photos of my food.
