About MCS Group

MCS Group is a specialist recruitment business with established operations in Belfast, Dublin and Boston, operating across a range of professional and technical disciplines. Our Belfast business is a proven, high-performing delivery engine, built on strong client relationships, consistent execution and deep market knowledge. We have an established presence in Dublin and are now focused on scaling our ROI Technology practice, targeting the Eastern Corridor, one of the most active and competitive tech ecosystems in Europe.

Our ambition is to build a recognised consultancy brand in the Dublin market, combining specialist knowledge, strong delivery capability and a community-led approach to business development. This includes running targeted events, roundtables and podcast content to engage senior technology leaders and create meaningful conversations in the market.

Within Technology, we specialise in hiring across AI and Data, and Cloud. We work with scaling tech businesses, established firms and international companies entering the market, helping them solve complex, hard-to-fill hiring challenges.
