We at Stelfox IT Recruitment are thrilled to announce the next chapter in our journey — one defined by growth, innovation, and long-term partnerships. As Ireland’s leading tech recruitment company, we’re expanding to meet the growing demand from technology businesses across the country for experienced recruitment specialists.

A key part of our strategy is a significant investment in the Munster region, including the opening of our new office in Cork City Centre, plans to grow our team, and the appointment of Jennifer Dillon as our new Managing Director.

Jennifer brings with her over 25 years of experience in the global recruitment industry and is widely recognised as a leader in talent, technology, and managed services. Before joining Stelfox, she served as a Director at Hays, where she gained extensive expertise in business strategy, client partnerships, and solution design. Her appointment marks the beginning of an exciting new era for our company — one focused on agility, innovation, and the continued delivery of best-in-class service.

As Jennifer notes, “The tech industry in Ireland is evolving rapidly. AI is driving a new wave of hiring, with organisations striving to balance regulation and innovation while realising the benefits it can bring. Remote working has become the norm, and today’s workforce is more diverse and multi-generational than ever. Employers must adapt to these changing expectations to attract and retain top talent.”

In a dynamic market where cost efficiency remains a top priority, many employers are turning to contractors who can provide critical skills quickly. The expansion of the R&D tax credit to 35% and the extension of the Digital Games Tax Credit in the recent Budget were welcome developments, but there’s still more to be done to support AI adoption and broader digital transformation.

Despite recent challenges, Ireland’s technology sector continues to show strong resilience and growth. Recruitment, however, remains a major obstacle for many companies competing for talent in software development, cybersecurity, data analytics, and digital transformation. That’s where we come in. At Stelfox, we play a vital role in helping businesses across Ireland overcome skills shortages and secure the expertise they need to innovate and grow.

We’re incredibly proud to have Jennifer leading us into this exciting new phase. What makes Stelfox special - and what attracted her to the company - is our strong heritage, our values-led culture, and our unwavering commitment to doing the right thing by both candidates and clients. Together, we’re building something truly special.

Our mission remains simple: to help businesses thrive by connecting them with outstanding talent. As the market evolves, so too do our solutions. We’re ready to adapt, grow, and continue delivering impactful recruitment services that make a difference.

Major Expansion in Cork

A cornerstone of our growth strategy is our major investment in the Munster region. We’ve just opened the doors to our brand-new office at 9 Parliament Street, South Mall, Cork City Centre - a major upgrade from our previous location at Penrose Wharf.

This new 300 sqm space is modern, open, and designed to support our expanding team and growing client base. We also plan to hire more people as part of our long-term commitment to the region.

As Jennifer says, “Big things are happening in Cork. This move is a reflection of our ongoing investment in space, talent, and the local economy. We’re growing with Cork - and for Cork.”

Located in the heart of the city, just steps from the English Market, restaurants, gyms, hotels, and public transport, our new home is easily accessible for clients, candidates, and staff alike. The move also strengthens our ability to attract top tech talent in a competitive market.

We have a fantastic foundation - and now it’s time to build on it. With experience to guide us, people to power us, and ambition to fuel us, we’re ready to take Stelfox to the next level.

We’re growing with purpose, innovating with intent, and connecting the future of Ireland’s tech industry - one great hire at a time.
