Stanton Chase Dublin: Leading Executive Search & Leadership Advisory in Ireland

Stanton Chase Dublin is part of one of the world’s leading executive search firms, bringing global capability and local expertise to the Irish market. We work with Irish companies and multinationals alike, placing leaders across all major sectors. Lead partner Linda Roberts Power has roughly two decades of executive search experience and has worked exclusively in Ireland for the past six years. And as part of Stanton Chase, with more than 70 offices across 45 countries, we can find the right candidate whether they are in Dublin or on the other side of the world.

We place CEOs, CFOs, COOs, CHROs, CIOs, CTOs, CxOs, managing directors, country managers, site directors, non-executive directors, executive directors, and board chairs. Our clients range from international companies with Irish operations to Irish organizations expanding globally, family businesses planning leadership transitions, and private equity portfolio companies building management teams.

What Executive Search Services Does Stanton Chase Dublin Offer?

Our core service is retained executive search through our Search+® retained process, where we identify, evaluate, and secure leaders for senior roles.

Beyond search, we offer executive assessment services that measure leadership capability and cultural fit, whether clients are evaluating internal candidates for promotion or making final decisions on external hires. Our board practice covers the recruitment of non-executive directors, executive directors, and board chairs, as well as advisory work on board composition and effectiveness.

And because leadership is not just about finding the right person but setting them up to succeed, we offer succession planning to help organisations prepare for transitions and executive onboarding to support new leaders once they are in place.

Who Uses Executive Search Services in Ireland?

Ireland’s economy is unusually diverse. Multinationals have made Dublin, Cork, Galway, and Limerick home to their European headquarters, manufacturing operations, and shared services centres. At the same time, family businesses remain a cornerstone of Irish commerce, and a growing number of private equity portfolio companies are building management teams here. Each of these organisations faces different leadership challenges.

Multinationals need executives who can meet global corporate standards while understanding local realities. Family businesses need leaders who respect long term thinking and ownership structures while bringing professional management capability. Private equity portfolio companies need executives who can deliver results within investment timelines. And Irish companies expanding internationally need leaders with the experience to take them into new markets.

What they have in common is a need for the right leader at the right time. That is what we do.
