The good, the bad and the ugly of Hayward Hawk over the past month...

In one month....we have learned that the shortage of software developers is in fact NOT the biggest problem for NI recruiters at present.

At Hayward Hawk we can't advise on Work from home best practice, how to keep a positive mindset in uncertain times or how the economy might be affected etc. We leave that to the experts in those fields.
We do know a thing or 2 about recruitment though, and we would be happy to advise, assist and chat about all things recruitment. We are open for chats on our softphones, Zoom, MS Teams, Houseparty, Whatsapp, Instagram and every other trendy communication app :)
