Teamworx, Ireland’s leading retail recruitment firm, recently hosted a special event to help those seeking employment in the retail sector at the Morrison hotel. Regeneration Retail focused on advising people about how to secure their dream job in retail and was both informative and educational.

Among the experts who were hand to offer advice were Jackie McDonagh, Head of Operations with Lifestyle Sports; Nikki Mullen, HR Policy Advisor with B&Q Ireland; Michelle Daly of Paddy Power and Julie Cobbe of Stylefish.ie. These speakers are all very successful in their chosen fields and were pleased to impart valuable information to those looking to thrive in an industry that has great rewards to offer.

“Having worked in retail recruitment for the past 10 years, Teamworx wanted to give something back to a sector which has had a very tough year. Although there is an abundance of candidates in the market, retailers are still finding it difficult to find qualified staff. Quantity doesn’t always equal quality and now, more than ever, it is imperative to invest in the services of a specialist recruitment agency such as Teamworx. This will not only save the employer’s time and money but will also ensure they recruit the perfect fit for that urgent vacancy,” explained Denise Brady of Teamworx.
