Insurance and accounting recruitment firm The Andersen Partnership has opened a new office in Dublin. The new office is the 11^th the company has opened in just over five years, and the seventh outside of the company’s native Australia.

Managed by long standing Andersen Partnership Director, Darragh Everard, the business will specialise in the niche areas of mid to senior management level roles.

Commenting on the opening, The Andersen Partnership's CEO Brian Schroder highlighted the opportunities for the brand and staff in the future: “Our Accounting and Insurance clients are truly global by nature and we’re already seeing huge demand and movement throughout the region. Dublin is a significant milestone for us being our eleventh office in just over five years and our seventh office outside of Australia.”

Company Chairman Niall Hamill added: “Dublin represents a fantastic opportunity not just for our candidates but also for our staff, many of whom are Irish. Ireland has been through a severe recession over the past number of years and we have seen a marked increase in the number of candidates returning home permanent to what can only be described as a thriving economy.”

In addition to Australia and Ireland, The Andersen Partnership also has offices in New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, and the UK.

Mr Hamill also advised that the company is in the advances stages of opening an office in Beijing, which would be the company’s third office in mainland China.
