Katie Sheehan — Technical Recruiter
With over 20+ years of experience in recruitment, talent acquisition, coaching, and HR, I am passionate about helping both organisations hire exceptional talent and individuals navigate their career journeys with confidence and clarity. Throughout my career, I've worked across various industries, including Banking, Finance, and Tech. My professional journey includes roles at Bank of America Merrill Lynch and one of Australia's top four banks. Eight years ago, I returned to Ireland and spent four years managing the EMEA recruitment team at Stripe, where I built and managed high-performing teams and delivered hiring strategies across multiple markets. I bring deep expertise in end-to-end recruitment and talent strategy — from workforce planning and employer branding to interviewing, assessment, and hiring decision-making. Having reviewed thousands of CVs and conducted hundreds of interviews, I offer a unique, insider perspective on what drives successful hiring outcomes for both candidates and companies. I am an executive coach supporting individuals to clarify their goals, strengthen decision-making, and lead with greater impact and authenticity. I specialise in helping professionals position themselves effectively in competitive markets — from CV development and interview performance to career transitions. I understand that hiring and career change can both be high-stakes and often challenging experiences. My approach combines practical recruitment insight with coaching techniques to ensure individuals and organisations make confident, informed decisions. https://laylicoaching.ie/ - Layli Coaching - Life As You Like It To book a free 30 minute free coaching consultation click here: https://calendly.com/katie-laylicoaching/30min
