VANRATH was founded in 2000 by Wayne Sullivan, a qualified accountant, when he discovered that professional recruitment services for accountants was not quite the experience he had expected. This was the ‘light-bulb’ moment that encouraged him to start a recruitment agency like no other.
The goal was to recruit in the same way, and to the same standard, that an employer would recruit into their own business to ensure the client would get exactly what they required.
VANRATH’s first official home was on the 6th floor of Lesley Suites in Belfast City Centre which enabled the business to hit the ground running with the establishment of our Accountancy Recruitment Team.
IT recruitment was VANRATH’s next big venture, and by 2004 the team had grown into the largest IT recruitment business in Northern Ireland.
In 2019, VANRATH secured a significant stake-holder investment from prominent Mercedes business owner and property investor Neil McKibbin FCA - who, as of 2024, has acquired 100% of the VANRATH business!
As the business continued to grow, naturally the team also expanded and the need for additional office space was identified, which was when we bought Victoria House.
This growth has been, and continues to be, supported through significant investment in marketing, our team and our clients and candidates. We look forward to what the next 24 years will bring.
The best agency I’ve worked with to date! Robbie Lemon was unbelievably professional and supportive from start to finish. He listened to my needs and found a placement that was perfect for me. Robbie was thorough and prompt when I had any questions, was a pleasure to speak to, I really can’t recommend him enough. If you’re looking for a recruiter, look no further than Robbie because he’s worth his weight in diamonds let alone in gold. Thanks for all your hard work and effort!
Incredibly professional business. I had the pleasure of speaking to Conor Birch. I have been working in temporary positions for nearly two years and within the matter of days, Conor helped me secure an amazing permanent role. I could not thank him enough for this amazing opportunity. Conor made sure to contact me every step of the way even if it was just to check in with how I was feeling with regard to the role, I found Conor extremely friendly, efficient and supportive. I highly recommend Conor and VANRATH as a whole. The whole experience was amazing start to finish.
