Cian O'Hannigan

Highly accomplished legal recruiter and an integral part of one of the leading legal recruitment teams in the country. I possess detailed market insight and provide excellent career advice and expertise regarding the wider legal market.

Specialist Area

I specialise in recruiting throughout the wider Irish legal market, which includes solicitors, barristers, company secretary's, paralegals and legal executives and so on. I work both permanent and contract roles.

My Advice

In a hugely competitive market, it is absolutely critical to know your worth. Reach out to your network, speak to market experts and ensure you are not being left behind. Being valued is of utmost importance, so if you are in any way curious about what a competitive package looks like on this market, I would encourage you to get in touch for a confidential chat so I can offer some guidance.

My Background

In my early career, I completed a Marketing degree from Maynooth University,  whilst working in retail. After completing my degree, I became a resource consultant in a real estate recruitment agency until the pandemic hit. I was then forced into a different industry and became a sales manager for a small company in the food & drinks industry, which did extremely well during the Covid period. Ultimately though, my passion is in recruitment and I always wanted to get back into that space so was delighted when the opportunity to join Morgan McKinley came up a few years later. Since then I haven't looked back, and I am very excited about what my future holds in MMK.
