Joe O’Halloran

Managing Consultant

John Shorrock

Hi, I’m Joe!

I specialise in interim and executive positions within the built environment sector. I recruit within property, capital projects and regeneration and development, working closely with local authorities in the North of England, South West England and the Midlands. 

Originally from Doncaster, I started my career as a Carpenter and moved to Preston after travelling the world and meeting my wife. After relocating when I returned home, I joined Spencer Clarke Group where I am a Managing Consultant.

Every day is different in recruitment, but what remains important is building positive relationships with clients and candidates. The interim market moves fast, so being on the ball is essential for matching candidates to contracts that will fulfill their skillset. 

Equally, clients trust that our market knowledge means we understand the skills required to complete a project. Our ability to precisely fill executive positions across multiple local authorities, is just one reason we were named Best Public/Third Sector Recruitment Agency at the 2025 Recruiter Awards. 

Outside of work, you’ll find me spending quality time with my wife and son. 

If you’re a local authority looking for recruitment support, please get in touch with me on 07480 725122.

If you’re searching for your next contract within corporate property, capital projects or regeneration and development, please send your CV to jo@spencerclarkegroup.co.uk
