Oliver James Ireland has opened for business. The financial services, professional services and commerce & industry staffing specialist’s new offices are located within Dublin’s commercial district, next to Stephen’s Green.

Director Tom Madeley leads the Dublin operation, with support from Jack Lynch.

• Membership organisation Cambridge Network has partnered with technology company ThisWay Global to launch a software platform powered by machine learning for the global talent acquisition market.

• Online video recruitment platform Vidu has launched. The new browser-based platform links employers and candidates face-to-face in real time across the globe through video and social media.

The platform’s founder Nicky Jones has 15 years’ experience of recruiting senior hires across all areas of the logistics sector.

Charles Russam, founder of interim recruitment company Russam GMS, has launched Working Free. This new information hub and advisory service is aimed at helping senior level executives understand the skills and attributes they need to become successful self-employed workers and win work.

Russam said: “I launched Working Free because I get calls every week from people – the majority of whom are in their 50s – who want to strike out alone, but don’t know how to start and make the transition from traditional full-time employment.

“We want people to understand that being self-employed isn’t a consolation prize for not having a ‘proper job,’ it is an exciting way of working, but it is different. It requires new skills, takes huge determination, resilience, training and a clear understanding of how to market yourself and win work – and this is where Working Free will help.”
