Associate Director

Hi, I'm Phil and I'm an Associate Director at Harvey Nash Ireland. 
I've been with Harvey Nash almost 7 years &amp; have over 9 years experience in recruitment between Australia &amp; Ireland. I specialise in all Technology, PMO &amp; Business Operations contract positions.
I currently lead a team of contract recruitment consultants and have overall responsibility for delivery, client &amp; candidate experience. I'm the account manager for several of our enterprise level clients and also target prospect clients to partner with us.
Outside of work, I really enjoy travelling to new countries and socialising with friends.
