Introduction

The O’Loughlin Group originally developed a presence and reputation as an executive search firm, known as O’Loughlin Executive Search. Over the past 10 years, our areas of expertise have broadened and the business currently operates across two channels providing recruitment solutions to all levels of business.

Established in 2001, O’Loughlin Executive Search is the executive search and selection arm of The O’Loughlin Group. Our outstanding reputation has been built on the quality and consistency of our service, and has been the foundation of many enduring relationships with clients and candidates alike. In short, our candidates become clients, and our clients become candidates. We selectively represent only the most unique and visionary individuals, those who have driven the development of their industry and turn to us seeking their next worthy and challenging appointment. To ensure we find the ‘best fit’ for our clients we undertake a number of thorough screening processes which look closely at a candidates ability to perform in the client’s environment, whilst also assessing their overall skills, knowledge, experience and key attributes. At O’Loughlin Executive Search we think ‘outside the square’ with a process ‘tailor made’ to our clients needs with the view of bringing the most suitable human capital forward for selection. We exercise complete discretion, guaranteeing the confidentiality sought by our clients and potential candidates.
