Building TA.guru - Embedded Recruitment and Recruitment Enablement for Scaling Tech Companies in EMEA

End of week reflections 

A few things have stood out over the last few days:
💡 In-person meetings are back.
Coffees, casual catch-ups, unstructured conversations — it’s clear that 2026 is leaning more human again, and honestly, it’s a good thing. Had some great chats this week and more lined up
💡 The market feels like it’s turning.
There’s a quiet sense of momentum building. A rising tide lifts all ships, and it feels like we’re moving into a phase where confidence (and investment) is slowly returning. fingers crossed 
💡 TA roles are opening up — and they’re good ones.
Seeing premium companies invest in strong Talent Acquisition capability is always a positive signal. Check out my recent post on this or give me a shout and ill share over 
💡 AI acceleration is very real.
I’ve somehow lost a few hours this week building Gems and GPTs — which says a lot about where things are heading. The conversations on AI are increasing, and how TA teams harness this (without losing human touch) will be critical.
💡 RCaaS launch 
We’re getting close to launching a new recruitment coordination offering, and the response so far has been really encouraging.
💡 Early planning for a Q1 TA event is underway.
Really enjoyed our Q4 event so looking for bigger and better this quarter. Ties in with top point and how in person is back 

And now… Heading to London to watch Chelsea tomorrow (we are very likely to lose) and catch up with a few people over the coming week.

If you’re around and fancy a coffee, give me a shout.

The "Recruitment Coordinator" model is broken. We fixed it.

For the last while, we’ve been quietly building something new at TA.guru, and today I want to share why.

If you lead a Talent function, you know the specific pain of the Coordinator role

It’s a highly specialist job (managing complex loops, "calendar tetris," and premium candidate experience) but it’s often treated as entry-level admin role and crucially—the workload fluctuates wildly.

You either hire a fixed headcount who sits idle at times, or you rely on junior temps who take weeks to learn your ATS, process, brand and then leave with all your institutional knowledge before the process begins again 

We believe there is a third way.

Today we are soft-launching Recruitment Co-ordination as a Service (RCaaS).

We’ve seen the flood of AI scheduling tools, and they are incredible. But they can’t handle the sensitive "edge cases"—the last-minute interviewer sickness, the complex panel reshuffle, or the white-glove care required for a VP candidate.

That requires human empathy and deep contextual knowledge.

Why RCaaS?
Expertise, not Admin: Our coordinators are experienced in peer companies and pre-trained on modern stacks before they touch your roles.
Flexibility: Scale support up for your Q1 hiring sprint, and dial it back in Q4. No layoffs, no idle cost.
White-Glove Standard: We build a proprietary "Client Workspace" for your brand, so even a fractional coordinator sounds exactly like you and understands how you flow.

We are rolling this out to a select group of partners who value candidate experience as much as speed.

Myself or Cathal Grogan would love your take on this and to chat about this model so drop me a message for a no strings convo

🤔  End of week reflections.

A few things have stood out over the last few days:
💡 Headcount plans are finally landing.
Ambition is definitely back, but it’s being balanced with a healthy awareness of geopolitical uncertainty. Growth is happening — just with a bit more thought than before.
💡 TA teams are growing again.
Seeing a mix of permanent roles opening up and a lot of interest in fractional or flexible support. Teams want capability, but they want it in a way that scales sensibly.
💡 London has a buzz — Dublin isn’t far behind.
London feels energised right now, but Dublin is catching up quickly. The conversations on both sides are getting more confident and more forward-looking.
💡 With AI, sometimes slower is faster.
The temptation is to move quickly, but the smarter teams are taking time to build the right structures first — so AI can be used consistently, not chaotically.
💡 Monthly Irish tech newsletter is back.
Relaunched this week and great to see the engagement already. Plenty more to come. - https://lnkd.in/dtes4gCi 
💡 Chelsea won twice… but didn’t exactly convince.
We’ll take the points. The performance review can wait.

Overall, a positive week — good conversations, good signals, and a sense that things are moving in the right direction.

If you’re around next week and fancy a coffee or a chat, give me a shout.
