Great retail businesses need great people. And finding them takes more than putting a job advert online.
Zachary Daniels is a specialist retail recruitment agency supporting businesses and candidates across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. From Store Managers and Area Managers to head office specialists and senior leaders, we connect retail and consumer brands with people who can make a difference.
With a dedicated Ireland recruitment team and a Belfast office supporting Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, we combine local market knowledge with specialist expertise across retail and consumer recruitment.
Whether you’re filling a key vacancy, opening new stores or building a team across multiple locations, we’re here to help.
Recruiting in Dublin isn’t the same as recruiting in Belfast. And finding a Store Manager in Cork can present different challenges from hiring a Regional Manager covering several locations across Ireland.
The candidate market changes depending on the location, the role and the type of retail business you’re recruiting for.
Salary expectations, commuting patterns, competing employers and candidate availability can all influence how successful a recruitment campaign will be.
That’s why local knowledge matters.
Our Ireland recruitment specialists understand the market and the practical considerations behind finding people who can succeed in your business.
We’re not simply looking for candidates with the right job title. We’re looking for people with the experience, motivation and understanding of your business to make the appointment work.
We support retailers hiring across the Republic of Ireland, including Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford and surrounding towns and counties.
From individual store appointments to regional management and specialist head office positions, we help businesses access talent across the Irish retail market.
Our Belfast-based office supports retail recruitment throughout Northern Ireland, including Belfast, Derry/Londonderry, Lisburn, Newry, Armagh and surrounding areas.
Whether you’re recruiting for a single location or managing a wider store network, our team can help you reach candidates with the relevant local experience.
For retailers operating on both sides of the border, managing recruitment across multiple locations can become complicated.
We can support hiring across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, giving you a consistent recruitment partner while recognising the differences between the two markets.
Retail businesses need different people at different stages of growth.
A new store needs the right leadership from day one. An established retailer might need to strengthen its regional management structure. A growing brand could be building its ecommerce, buying, marketing or finance teams.
Our specialist recruiters cover the functions that keep retail businesses moving.
From Store Managers and Assistant Managers to Deputy Managers and senior store leaders, we recruit people who can lead teams, deliver commercial results and create the right customer experience.
We recruit Area Managers, Regional Managers and multi-site leaders who can support store networks, develop management teams and improve performance across several locations.
Buyers, Merchandisers, Planners and category specialists who understand products, customers, stock and commercial performance.
From Brand Managers and Marketing Managers to performance marketing, CRM and senior marketing leadership, we recruit the people responsible for creating demand and building customer relationships.
Ecommerce Managers, Digital Trading specialists, CRM professionals and digital leaders who can help retailers develop their online channels.
HR Managers, HR Business Partners, Talent Acquisition specialists and People Directors who support the teams behind retail performance.
Supply Chain Managers, Logistics Managers and operational specialists who keep products moving through stores, distribution networks and online channels.
Finance Managers, Financial Controllers, commercial finance specialists and senior finance leaders who help retail businesses manage performance and plan for growth.
We also recruit across:
The talent available in Dublin city centre can be very different from the talent available in a smaller regional town.
We look at the realistic candidate market around each location, rather than assuming the same recruitment approach will work everywhere.
A role can look attractive on paper but become much less appealing when the daily commute is considered.
Understanding transport connections, travel times and where candidates are based helps us target the right people from the beginning.
Experienced Store Managers, Area Managers and specialist retail professionals are valuable to employers across different retail sectors.
We look beyond active jobseekers to identify people who may be open to the right opportunity, even if they’re not currently applying for roles.
The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland have different currencies, employment frameworks and local market conditions.
We take those differences into account when discussing recruitment requirements, candidate expectations and the practicalities of a search.
Two retailers can be recruiting for the same job title but need very different people.
We take time to understand your customers, store environment, commercial priorities and culture so we can identify candidates who are suited to the role and the organisation.
Different retail sectors need different skills, experiences and approaches to recruitment.
A luxury boutique needs a different kind of customer experience from a high-volume fashion retailer. A home improvement business has different operational requirements from a beauty brand.
We recruit across a broad range of retail and consumer markets, including:
Whether you’re recruiting for a national retail chain, independent retailer or international brand entering Ireland, we’ll help you find people who understand your market.
Growing online brands operate across a wide range of product categories, each with its own customers, commercial challenges and talent requirements.
Our specialist recruiters understand the markets behind the businesses they’re recruiting for, including:
Whether you’re an established ecommerce retailer or a growing DTC brand, we’ll help you find people who understand your market and the customers you’re trying to reach.
Recruitment requirements change as retail businesses grow.
You might need to replace a Store Manager, build a regional leadership team or recruit dozens of people ahead of a new opening.
Our team can support different types of recruitment projects.
From individual appointments to ongoing recruitment across your business, we help retailers find permanent talent across stores, head office and leadership functions.
Opening a new store in Dublin, Cork, Belfast or elsewhere in Ireland?
We can help recruit the management and operational talent you need around your opening plans.
new store openings recruitment solution
For growing retail and consumer brands, the challenge is often building the team and structure needed for the next stage.
We help recruit specialists and leaders who can support that growth.
startup & scaleup recruitment solution
When your internal team needs additional recruitment capacity, we can provide dedicated recruitment expertise working closely with your business.
Our Ireland team has supported retailers recruiting across the market, including brands establishing themselves in Ireland for the first time.
One example is JYSK, where Zachary Daniels helped recruit a team of managers for the brand’s launch in Ireland.
The project involved understanding the profiles the business needed and identifying candidates who could help establish its retail operation.
JYSK’s HR Director, Kateryna, praised the team’s understanding of the required candidate profiles and its ability to identify people who went on to become employees.
It’s the kind of recruitment support we aim to provide, whether you’re opening your first location or strengthening an established team.
We start by understanding the vacancy, your business, the location and what the person needs to achieve.
A Store Manager in a busy city-centre location might need a different background from somebody managing a destination retail store.
We consider candidate availability, salary expectations, commuting patterns and competing employers.
This helps us develop a realistic recruitment approach before the search begins.
We combine established candidate networks, direct search, job advertising and proactive outreach to reach people with the relevant experience.
That includes candidates who aren’t actively looking for another role.
We look beyond job titles to understand what candidates have delivered, how they lead teams and whether their experience suits your business.
From interviews and feedback through to offers and notice periods, we keep the process moving and communication clear.
Whether you’re making one appointment or planning a wider recruitment project, we can continue supporting your business as requirements change.
