Careers and Jobs

Following on from the post yesterday I have done a bit more research on how to find retail jobs in Ireland.

There are a few key agencies who recruit for retail jobs – Eden Recruitment, RightFit 4 Retail, Excel Recruitment, Star Retail. You can also get access to loads of jobs on the jobboards including EmployIreland and retailjobs365.

Remember my advice on the previous post. Visit shopping center websites as many of them see to advertise all open vacancies on their sites. I think this is a great idea BUT also a great resource if you seeking work in Retail in Ireland.

I pointed out Dundrum & Blanchardstown Shopping centres BUT there are many similar centres around Ireland. The Jervis Centre in D1 does not list jobs but it does list all the shops and contact details – missed opportunity I guess as these shops are probably paying elsewhere to find staff.

I was helping a client with job search strategies and I came across an interesting find. Basically my client wanted a job in Retail and lived in Blanchardstown. My client was focusing on city center retail jobs which is fine. For some strange reason they had not searched locally (must enjoy the congestion in Dublin). I googled “Jobs In Blanchardstown” and the search highlighted blanchardstowncentre.ie. The town centre actually advertises retail jobs on its site – Bodyshop, BT2, H&M, HMV and many more retail companies are advertising. Guess what when I checked out dundrum.ie they do the same – Harvey Nicols, House of Fraser and much more.

This is a great strategy for retail jobseekers. Many will go directly to jobboards or recruitment agencies BUT you can actually check out the retail centre websites directly.
