Joe Caulfield

Joe began his career in Morgan McKinley recruitment and excelled in the recruitment and placement of accounting and finance professionals. He then moved into the tech sales space with Indeed.com, one of the worlds biggest jobs search engines, worked as an in-house recruitment consultant with Axa Insurance and finished his corporate career as a sales executive in Siteminder, a tech start-up which would go on to achieve Unicorn status during Joe’s time with the company.

All of this has given Joe, not only an excellent understanding of the corporate landscape across numerous verticals, but also the ability to train others to utilise the tools of communication around which he has built his career.

Joe decided to back himself in pursuing a new career path in 2020, following his passion for broadcasting. Despite the obstacles of breaking into the industry during a time of global
pandemic, Joe landed his first role as a broadcast journalist at Midlands 103 in June 2021.

Within months, Joe had broken into television with the Virgin Media sports news team; anchoring the evening sports news, live reporting on breaking stories and interviewing some
of sport’s leading figures in the process. Eager to remain at the forefront of news as well as sport, and determined to push himself outside his comfort zone constantly, Joe combines his role with Virgin Media as a broadcast journalist with Bauer Media; delivering the news on Newstalk and Today FM as well as reporting on all the major news stories of the day.

Ambition, determination and a passion for communication have seen Television Presenter Joe rise to a position of great esteem with two of the country’s leading broadcasters, in an incredibly short period of time. His story is one he hopes will inspire others to chase their dreams – believing with passion, perseverance and the right direction, anyone can achieve success and fulfilment in whatever they chose to do.
