The private Irish recruitment firm, Sigmar Recruitment, has announced the appointment of Miles Hunt as new non-executive director.

Hunt founded Empresaria Group, a UK-based international specialist staffing group and previously served as CEO of the group. He is currently Chairman of Serocor, a UK based IT and Engineering recruitment group, Darwin, a technology recruitment company operating across Europe, Davidson, an Australia based talent management company and Oasis HR, a London based HR recruitment company.  He is also Chairman of the UK lobbying organization, the Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo).

“We are delighted, at Sigmar, to welcome Miles on to the board,” Adrian McGennis CEO at Sigmar Recruitment, said. “We were well aware of his reputation, but maybe more importantly he understood what Sigmar is about, immediately. After several years of strong growth, Miles will be valuable in achieving our ambitious three year vision of doubling in size, whilst maintaining the Sigmar culture and purpose, that has achieved recognition and awards, nationally and internationally.”

“I am both privileged to be asked to become involved in Sigmar and excited about the growth prospects for the company,” Hunt said. “The values espoused by the leadership team, the explicit commitment of the company to quality of service and innovation within the world of work can be seen in the tangible contribution it makes to the recruitment industry in Ireland and to the HR community facing the increasing challenges associated with talent acquisition and management.”
