For candidates

A straightforward conversation about your next move.

Brown Oak works with managers across Irish grocery retail, from Assistant and Department Managers to Store, General, Area, Regional and Operations leaders. We will listen to what you have done, what you want next and whether a particular job is right for you.

What you can expect

The useful details, as early as possible.

A job title never tells the whole story. We will explain what we know and be honest about anything the employer still needs to confirm.

  • The type and size of the store, site or group.
  • The team, reporting line and main responsibilities.
  • The hours, location, salary and reason for the vacancy, where confirmed.
  • A clear answer when a detail is still being checked.

Your details stay private

“A conversation with Brown Oak does not mean your CV is sent anywhere.”

We will ask for your permission before introducing you to an employer.
