Elevate Partners: Reflecting on a Landmark Year in 2024

Here’s a closer look at what made this year stand out.

Growing Our Team to Meet Client Needs

One of the most significant highlights of 2024 has been the addition of two exceptional professionals to our team. Emma Conlon and Sean Keogh joined Elevate Partners this year, each bringing a wealth of expertise and a fresh perspective to their roles.
Emma has played a pivotal role in enhancing our executive search capabilities. Her industry knowledge and ability to connect top-tier talent with the right opportunities have been invaluable in supporting our clients’ leadership needs.
Sean has strengthened our focus on compliance recruitment, a highly specialised area in increasing demand. His deep understanding of the compliance landscape ensures that we continue to provide our clients with the expertise they need to navigate regulatory complexity.
These strategic hires reflect our commitment to building a team that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of our clients in a rapidly evolving market.

Strengthening Connections Through Memberships and Events

This year, we deepened our engagement with Ireland’s business and professional networks. Becoming members of the Employment & Recruitment Federation (ERF) and Dublin Chamber has provided invaluable opportunities to collaborate with peers, share insights, and stay at the forefront of industry best practices.
Our membership with the Compliance Institute further reinforced our expertise in regulatory recruitment, allowing us to attend events that provided fresh perspectives on compliance and governance challenges.
One of the highlights of the year was attending the Dublin Chamber Annual Dinner, a gathering of some of Ireland’s most prominent business leaders. It was a chance to connect with influential figures across industries, solidifying our position within Ireland’s professional landscape.

Engaging Clients and Celebrating Excellence

Elevate Partners has always been about building relationships, and 2024 was no exception. This year, we had the privilege of bringing our clients to the Irish Investor Awards, an event that celebrates innovation and excellence within the financial services sector. Sharing this experience with our clients underscored the importance of collaboration and partnership in driving success.
Attending and hosting events like these not only strengthens our relationships but also ensures that we stay attuned to the needs and ambitions of the organisations we work with.

Making an Impact Through CSR

Our commitment to corporate social responsibility remained a key focus in 2024. From raising €5,630 for LauraLynn, Ireland’s Children’s Hospice, to hosting a charity golf day for ARC Cancer Support, and supporting young finance professionals, our efforts reflected a dedication to giving back to the community.

Expanding Our International Reach

In 2024, we took a significant step forward with the expansion of our London office. This development has enhanced our ability to serve clients across key international markets and reflects the increasingly global nature of the financial services sector.
This expansion is not just about geographical growth—it’s about ensuring that we’re positioned to meet the evolving needs of our clients wherever they operate. Our international reach is now stronger than ever, and we look forward to continuing this momentum into 2025.

Looking Ahead

As we look to 2025, we’re filled with optimism and ambition. The progress we’ve made this year—both within our team and across our business—has laid a strong foundation for the future.
To our clients, partners, and team members: thank you for being an essential part of our journey in 2024. Together, we’ve achieved great things, and we’re excited about what lies ahead in the coming year.
Here’s to continued growth, success, and collaboration in 2025!
