I started nineDots back in August 2017, working from Network Café on Aungier Street; organising client/candidate meetings which turned out to be great and not so great at the same time as I'd end up with very little work done and high on caffeine.
Anyway, in November as the workload piled up, I graduated into my parents' kitchen after persuading David Wilson that recruitment is the best job in the world and nineDots Technology Recruitment is the stuff that only dreams are made of (and that I would drive him anywhere he wanted for lunch). It wasn’t long before we had enough money to move into Huckletree (Arguably the best co-working space in Dublin/The World). This was a real turning point for us.
I was then able to persuade Rose Farrell that we aren't like 'the others' - another great hire, big things to come. People ask, ‘well, what is different about you?’ "I don’t know”, is the real, honest, answer; we work out of a co-working space, wear what I want, create lasting, meaningful relationships where we are not just a one-stop shop. We are straightforward in our dealings with no fluff and no noise.
We are a small (but growing) technology recruitment firm based in the heart of Dublin city. We specialise in anything and everything tech related. However, if we can’t assist, we won’t tell you that we can. What we CAN do is steer you in the right direction - we believe it doesn’t cost to be helpful!
The fundamentals of recruitment and our job haven’t changed, what needs to change is how recruiters operate. With that in mind, nineDots is based on a value-add rather than the age-old ‘let’s throw sh*t against a wall and hope it sticks’ methodology. We don’t believe you need to wear a suit in order to be professional and we think people should be treated like people, not commodities.
Culture is king and something we find a lot with this whole ‘square peg, round hole’ scenario is, that people are thinking of the short-term fix, be it due to KPI’s out of your ears, poor management, time constraints. The list goes on - but the short-term solve is broken and a waste of everyone's time.
We're about the long-term, nineDots is a two-way street. Candidates and clients - we treat them both equally; take the time to really understand what they are about and what they are looking for. From there, it’s clear as day whether or not they will suit each other.
Create real relationships and that is half the battle - this is what is important to us and how we help people and companies grow.
