About

Along with my business partner, Vince, I founded SocialTalent in 2010 and currently serve as CEO and lead on our Product and Content. SocialTalent is the world's most popular learning experience platform for hiring and in 2018 alone, we helped over 500 companies hire more than 1 million people. Today we employ over 70 people from our head office in Dublin, Ireland and service enterprise clients in the US, UK & Northern Europe with users in all corners of the world. When I'm not busy chasing global domination, I'm busy raising 4 boys with my wife Jill, a special needs teacher and fellow educator. In between baby feeds I consume endless books and podcasts, run several times a week and recently started cycling to work to keep the adrenalin flowing!

Select people ltd

Director

Jul 2008 – Nov 2010 · 2 yrs 4 mos · Cork, Ireland

Select People Ltd was a specialist headhunting firm placing professionals from the Insurance, Banking and Telecoms sectors on warm, sunny beaches, all over the world. From humble beginnings in a portacabin and a run-down country home, Vincent and I built a small, successful recruiting firm that used innovative online sourcing methods to survive a recession. As our small firm grew, we realised that our competitive advantage was in the online processes and knowledge that we had developed hence we "spun" off the company into what is today the world's leading online recruitment training company, Social Talent. We'd like to pretend that it was all part of some grand plan, but that would be a lie. We worked hard, got lucky, and took risks. I still miss recruiting. ;-(

Baraud

Operations Manager

Jun 2006 – Jul 2008 · 2 yrs 1 mo · Georgetown, Grand Cayman

I ran the largest recruitment, staffing, and immigration business in Grand Cayman, in the British West Indies. The company provided permanent and temporary staff to all of the island's employers, and also outsourced immigration consultancy services. In addition, we had a large IT Training business. Baraud gave me my first exposure to the high-paced environment of temporary recruitment with over 100 temps out on assignment all over the island at any one time. I worked with some amazing people (particularly the wonderful Debbie & Amber) and got to spend every morning, evening and weekend swimming in the Caribbean. We grew profit and revenue to record heights and I was able to replace myself with a fellow Irishman who managed to successfully take the company to places I could never have gone. Nice work Alan, you battled hard to turn Baraud into your own baby!

Accreate financial search & selection

2 roles

Manager, Industry & Commerce Recruitment

Aug 2003 – Jun 2006 · 2 yrs 10 mos · Dublin 4

Led the Industry (non Financial Services) Accountancy recruitment team which consisted of four other recruiters and myself. Accreate was sold to Imprint plc (now Morgan McKinley) by its founders Shay and Ronan. I stayed on with the business for the first part of the earn-out but was lured to the Caribbean by the allure of the warm weather and the persuasive power of my then fiancee, now wife, Jill (the real boss of me)!
