Karl O'Connell

I am a recruitment consultant with the Dublin Financial Services & Insurance team at Sigmar. With over 8 years of experience in recruitment, I have worked both in-house and in agency settings, particularly within the construction and aviation industries. Additionally, I have a background in sales, which has honed my skills in client and candidate engagement.

Since joining Sigmar, I have completed the ERF Certificate in Recruitment Practice, further enhancing my expertise. In 2020, I achieved my CIPD in Human Resources & Learning Development from the National College of Ireland, equipping me with a robust foundation in HR principles and practices. Outside of Sigmar you can see me running around GAA pitches like a headless chicken am for the Monaghan Senior football GAA team.

Specialist Areas:

In my current role, I specialise in several key areas within the financial services and insurance sectors. These include Fund Accounting, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) & Compliance, Financial Advisory & Planning, Claims Handling, and Underwriting. My deep understanding of these fields allows me to effectively match highly skilled professionals with roles that suit their experience and career aspirations, while also meeting the specific needs of my clients.
