TalentSource International

TalentSource International is a boutique-style recruitment agency founded by Brian Rooney and John Sharpe, specialising exclusively in technology and sales recruitment across Ireland and South Africa. The company combines deep industry knowledge with rigorous talent assessment methodologies, utilising psychometric tools to ensure optimal cultural and organisational fit beyond simple CV matching. TalentSource recruits across permanent, contract and executive search mandates, offering tailored solutions that address mission-critical talent shortages in both sectors.

The agency's core specialisations encompass technology recruitment, covering full-stack developers, data analysts, software engineers and emerging tech talent, alongside sales recruitment for inside sales specialists, customer success agents, SDR/BDR roles and C-suite sales leaders. TalentSource's team includes specialists trained in personality profiling and competency-based assessment, enabling deeper screening and matching for the right roles and cultural environments. Beyond recruitment, the company offers complementary services including skills assessment, executive candidate search, contract and salary negotiations, headhunting, and tailored training programmes through their partner company Sales Talent.

Operating from their Dublin headquarters at 126 East Wall Road, TalentSource serves clients across Ireland and internationally, with established connections in the Irish and South African markets. The agency operates at the highest levels of ethics and integrity, differentiating itself through a commitment to understanding not just job requirements but team dynamics, cultural alignment and organisational strategy. With over 12 years of contract recruitment experience and a track record of supporting higher staff retention and bulk recruitment initiatives, TalentSource has established itself as a trusted partner for businesses seeking rare skills and top-tier talent.
