Our Story

At the core of our success is our People. We strongly believe in Equality, Inclusion & Diversity. Our values, Integrity, Trust & Empowerment drive our actions and behaviours daily. 73% of our business is repeat business. This is reflective of our people, our expertise and our delivery.

Established in Dublin in 1998, Brightwater originally specialised in recruitment for accountancy and finance roles. We grew organically to include other specialisms in order to meet client requirements and now have 45 staff across the island of Ireland. Set up in 2011, Brightwater Executive's pure focus is on recruitment of head of function roles up to C-Suite level executives.

Over the years working alongside our clients and candidates we've experienced rapid change in our world of work, a different kind of leadership is required and a differentiation in setup of boards and management teams to stay innovative and succeed at scale is a must.

We understand that it is vital to remain at the forefront of what is important to both clients and candidates.

We strongly believe in equality and that diversity really matters. We have access to modern diverse leaders and executives who are change makers and know how to lead transformation.
