Funded.club hires for Dublin startups and for companies opening an Irish team, using remote recruiters and a fixed fee per hire agreed upfront, averaging 6 to 9% of salary. ## Why Dublin hiring is competitive Dublin is home to the European operations of many large international technology companies, alongside a growing local startup scene. That gives the city an experienced, international workforce, particularly in sales, customer success, operations and engineering. It also means startups are competing with employers that have strong brands and established career ladders. The upside for founders is that many of those people have learned how a scaled company works and now want more responsibility and pace. They are the candidates a startup can win, if the approach is right. ## How to win candidates from big tech in Dublin Someone leaving a large employer is giving up structure and a known brand. Help them see what they gain: - **Breadth of role.** Show how the job covers work they only saw a slice of before. - **Visible impact.** Share real numbers from your own business, such as customer count or revenue trend, so they can judge the opportunity. - **Career path.** Explain how the role grows as the company grows. Candidates used to defined levels want to know this. - **Straight answers on equity and risk.** Be open about runway and what the next milestone is. ## Using Dublin as your European base Some US startups choose Dublin for their first team outside North America, often for English-speaking commercial roles that cover wider European markets. If that is your plan: - Hire someone first who has sold into or supported customers across several European countries, not only one. - Think about language coverage. A Dublin team may need people who can work in other European languages as you grow. - Set overlap hours with your US team deliberately. Dublin's morning is too early for the US West Coast, so most shared work falls in the Irish afternoon. - Get specialist advice on employing people in Ireland, through your own entity or an employer of record, before you make your first offer. ## Designing a short, respectful process Candidates in demand will drop out of slow processes. Aim for a first call, a focused skills or case stage, a founder conversation and references. Give feedback within a couple of days at every stage. Close with a written offer that sets out salary, equity and start date clearly. ## Where Funded.club fits for Dublin hiring Funded.club has no Dublin office. Its fully remote recruiters hire for Dublin and the rest of Ireland as part of its work across North America, Europe and APAC. Since 2019 it has helped 500+ startups from Seed to Series D, including Supernova.io, WeTravel, VKTRY Gear and Cobalt Robotics. Here is an illustrative comparison for an $85,000 hire: | Model | Fee for an $85,000 hire | | --- | --- | | Contingency at 20 to 25% | $17,000 to $21,250 | | Funded.club fixed fee (up to $110,000) | $7,500 | Other bands: $4,900 up to $70,000, $11,500 up to $150,000, and $15,900 to $21,900 above that. Fees are agreed upfront, with part as an advance at the start and the balance when the candidate accepts the offer. First-time customers can ask to defer the advance until they see their first candidates. If you don't get at least 3 qualified candidates within 30 days, you can claim the advance back in full. One dedicated recruiter handles sourcing, headhunting, screening and offer support. First screened candidates arrive within 7 days, and hires take 33 days on average from kick-off.
