Message from the Founder

Education recruitment is not about filling vacancies – it’s about finding people who make a difference in classrooms and in young lives.

Ian O’Herlihy

Founder & Chairman, Hibernia Careers

Having worked for over three decades in the education and employment sectors, I have seen that true success in recruitment lies in understanding both people and institutions. At Hibernia Careers, we combine that understanding with integrity, attention to detail, and genuine care for the schools and teachers we work with. Our approach is rooted in Irish professionalism and supported by our local presence in the UAE. We are not just recruiters – we are partners in your institution’s growth. Whether your school needs a single teacher or an entire team, our goal remains the same: to connect you with educators who share your values and deliver excellence in every lesson
