Richard McFarland

Head of Talent

With 15+ years' experience in the HR recruitment sector, Richard has placed HR professionals from Officer to Director level across Northern Ireland and the bordering counties. Richard is CIPD Qualified and now looks after internal recruitment with VANRATH.

Richard is always keen to hear from anyone who would be interested in joining VANRATH. We have experienced teams across a range of disciplines and are recruiting for a number of opportunities in a range of sectors. His role also includes Sourcing, Screening and Selection of all Internal hires, Talent Mapping and Reward Benchmarking and Candidate Experience.

​I cannot recommend VANRATH recruitment enough, having just finished university, the process can feel daunting. However the fantastic communication and guidance from the VANRATH team made this process a lot easier. Their attention to detail and expertises is unparalleled to any other recruitment company I have dealt with. Would recommend to any professional.

I had the pleasure of working Matthew. After accepting a role on another company that unfortunately fell through, Matthew was able to find me another role and made the entire process seamless. I have just accepted the offer and signed the contract. I can't thank Matthew enough.

​Very highly recommend Jack, he was extremely knowledgeable and friendly which made the experience a lot more pleasant, done my first week at my new job and very happy! Jack is a credit to himself and VANRATH. Thanks very much!

​I recently worked with Chanel Gillen to fill a vacancy in my finance department. Chanel was a joy to work with and we filled our vacancy within a week. I would have no hesitation in recommending both Chanel and VANRATH for your finance recruitment needs.

Extremely patient, thorough, helpful and conscientious about his work. Above and beyond and a pleasure at all times. Much appreciated and highly highly recommended.
