About Donncha
With over 25 years of experience in the staffing and recruitment industry across Ireland and Australia, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table. I graduated with an honours degree in Business and Recreation Management from the University of Glasgow.
My career began at a small recruitment business in Dublin (1999-2001).
In 2001, I founded Nationwide Recruitment Services (NRS Limited) where my team and I serviced numerous small, medium, and large-scale builders and construction companies across Leinster, Republic of Ireland. At its peak, NRS Limited generated revenues of 5 million euros and placed hundreds of blue-collar workers each year. We diversified into landscaping and building maintenance in 2007. However, the burst of the Irish Celtic Tiger bubble led me to relocate to Perth, Australia in 2012.
I started as a recruitment consultant in the transport and warehousing sector and quickly made a name for myself. In 2014, I received a global sales award and an all-expenses-paid trip to Venice as the top salesperson in Australia. Subsequent promotions saw me advance to Business Development Manager for Western Australia and the Northern Territory, eventually becoming the Manager in Perth.
In 2016, I transitioned to Sydney to work as the National Sales Manager for WorkPac. By late 2017, I was approached by Programmed Skilled to lead the ANZ sales team, a role I’ve held since. Over the years, I’ve coached and managed numerous salespeople. At Programmed, my team achieved their combined sales targets for seven consecutive years.
I currently live in Sydney with my wife Oihana, daughter Haizea, and our dog Zuri. I’m passionate about sales and have amassed a massive library of top sales books. In addition to my professional achievements, I have coached and managed the Clan Na Gael Senior football team to numerous honors, including two All Australian titles with New South Wales and one world title with Australia.
