Professional to the end Berkley continue to deliver as our recruitment partner of choice for all our digital transformation needs and we look forward to working with them for many years to come.”

Finding the Right Talent for Digital Transformation

While Ireland is recognised as a global leader in the field of dairy production, the sector remains quite traditional in its approach. Innovation and technology play a key part in creating production processes optimised for efficiency, quality and sustainability.

The organisation undertook a large scale transformation which saw a €78m investment in a new production facility in West Cork. In line with this investment, a new position of Chief Information Officer was established to drive transformation across the enterprise

Finding the right talent would play a key part in Carbery’s Digital Transformation programme. As such, Carbery required the support of a recruitment partner with the insight, skill and market reach to source and assess the most suitable candidates.
