Directors at head hunters Merc share €1m pay pot

Four directors at top head-hunting agency Merc Partners last year shared a pay pot just under €1m.

The Dublin firm was involved last year in the search for a new director-general of RTÉ, and was appointed by the Department of Finance to identify candidates to find a new governor of the Central Bank.

The company’s accumulated profits last year increased from over €1.04m to €1.15m and its cash pile rose from €555,758 to €870,106.
