About MLR careers

About

MLR Careers is the boutique recruitment consultancy business of husband-and-wife team Iain and Louise Cahoon. Accomplished recruiters who get more satisfaction through doing the job than managing others to do it, our focus is on providing a highly personalised service to clients and candidates alike. With a combined experience of over 60 years, our extensive talent pool networks and strong business relationships make us a highly effective recruitment partner.

Over the years we have developed expertise across a range of business sectors, with particular strengths in:

 

Iain Cahoon

Iain’s career in recruitment started some 30 years ago before a keen interest in financial planning pulled him away for a rather long ‘sabbatical’. He returned to recruitment in 2008, forging strong links across the business community and becoming the recruiter of choice for many. He is responsible for delivering and managing bespoke recruitment and executive search solutions for clients across multiple sectors including Financial Services & Insurance, Finance & Accounting, Commercial, EHS and Transport & Logistics.

Louise Cahoon

Louise is well known in the Northern Ireland business community as a trusted and effective recruitment partner. She brings to bear 30 years’ experience, identifying and securing talented individuals for her clients, and guiding candidates to smart career decisions. She is responsible for delivering and managing bespoke recruitment and executive search solutions for clients across multiple sectors including Legal, Finance & Accounting, HR, Financial Services and Business Support.

What our clients say

Testimonials

“I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Iain Cahoon of MLR Careers. He provided me with clear and helpful guidance on interviews, encouraged me, gave constructive feedback and kept me well informed throughout the entire process. He took on board what avenues I was interested in pursuing, not "pigeon holing" me to my long career in a specific field as evidenced by my C.V. He contacted a number of companies on my behalf and within a short period of time, he successfully placed me with an employer with whom I am extremely happy. Iain took the time to contact me a few weeks into the new job, just to check how things were going. Throughout my dealings with him, I found Iain to be very approachable, friendly and professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending Iain's services.”
