Following McCormack, CEO Colin Donnery took the stage to share his reflections on the evolving recruitment landscape. Drawing from his extensive experience, Donnery underscored the importance of maintaining strong connections with customers, a cornerstone of FRS Recruitment's philosophy. He painted a vivid picture of the industry's transformation over the past two decades, offering valuable perspectives on how FRS Recruitment has adapted and thrived.



Panel Discussion: Insights and Experiences from the Frontline

One of the highlights of the morning session was a dynamic panel discussion led by Donnery. The panel featured four distinguished employees: Renata Ryan, Team Leader of the Nursing Division; Niall O'Connor, Client Relationship Manager in the IT team; Feargus Young, Principal Recruitment Consultant in the Food and Electronics sectors; and Aoife Kelly, Senior Recruitment Consultant for temporary staff in the Commercial and Industrial sectors.

Each panellist shared personal anecdotes and professional insights, delving into the nuances of working in recruitment. Their discussions provided valuable lessons on best practices and common pitfalls, offering a rich tapestry of experiences for the audience to learn from.



Growth Mindset: A Workshop with John Counihan

After a brief intermission, the team reconvened for an enlightening session with guest speaker John Counihan of Alchemy Consulting. Counihan's workshop focused on the concept of 'growth' versus 'fixed' mindsets, an area particularly relevant to the fast-paced and ever-changing recruitment industry.



Through interactive exercises and thought-provoking discussions, staff were encouraged to embrace a growth mindset, fostering resilience and adaptability both individually and collectively.



Afternoon Adventures: Team Building at Fota Island Adventure

Post-lunch, the team embarked on an exhilarating adventure at Fota Island Adventure, just a stone's throw from the main venue.

The afternoon was filled with activities designed to challenge and engage, including shelter building, (supervised) fire starting, and a series of team communication exercises.



Under the watchful eye of the temporary FRS boss, Terry, participants navigated tasks that tested their ability to follow orders and adapt under pressure - all while being distracted by the lure of fresh smores!
