History

Based in Limerick, Ireland, John Harty & Associates was founded in 1985 to deliver HR consultancy services including senior recruitment,
employee relations and training. Developing a keen interest in the area of candidate sourcing and responding to emerging marketplace demands,
the business specialised in senior executive search, Ireland in 1991.

Thirty years on, the company is proud of its prominence in Ireland’s executive search market. Evolving from John Harty & Associates to JHA Executive Search and later Harty International,
the business was officially rebranded to Harty Search & Selection in 2014. Maintaining an authority on search and selection trends, the company has continually modernised and adapted to fluctuating economic and industry conditions.

Ethos

At Harty Search & Selection, we are inspired by our ability to save clients time, effort and stress in the search for the right senior candidates for their organisations. We aim to display dedication and resourcefulness throughout a strategic, expedient search and selection process. We endeavour to provide clients with quality, long-term appointments and we only present candidates who are highly suitable and genuinely interested in the opportunity.

We believe in friendship and partnership at Harty Search & Selection. We continually engage with our clients, building relationships based on clarity, value and trust. We welcome feedback on the client’s experience with our company and the performance of the newly-appointed candidate in their organisation.
We look forward to the continued sourcing of effective, relevant candidates for our clients in an elusive employment marketplace.
