David Kennedy Recruitment is a virtual multilingual recruitment consultancy, founded in Belfast in 2018, placing talent across 40+ countries in 32+ languages via a network of 150+ freelance recruitment partners.
David Kennedy Recruitment (DKR) is a virtual, multilingual recruitment consultancy founded in Belfast in October 2018 and now operating globally, with a presence in Melbourne and coverage spanning more than 40 countries. The firm connects candidates with organisations across a range of sectors, including BPO, hospitality, SaaS, IT, forex, crypto and iGaming. It began with a single client at its founding and has recorded year-on-year growth of over 100% since 2020.
The firm's structure is deliberately decentralised. A network of more than 150 freelance recruitment partners, working across 32 or more languages, carries the candidate process from first contact through placement and beyond. Client relationships are handled directly by the internal management team, without AI filters or automated gatekeepers - a strictly people-only method that governs both sides of the hiring relationship.
DKR operates on a virtual-first, borderless model, with no centralised office footprint beyond its founding base in Belfast and its Melbourne location. For candidates, this means working with recruitment specialists who operate in their own markets and languages rather than through automated screening systems. For those whose careers span multiple countries, the firm's multilingual reach and its explicit focus on the candidate experience from initial contact onward are the operative differentiators.
