For employers

Know when a competitor in Ireland starts hiring overseas

When the Department publishes the next month's figures, you get the employers in Ireland that took on overseas workers for the first time and the ones growing fastest. One email a month, from the official numbers.

One email when there is news, never more than weekly. Stop with one click. Privacy policy.

For candidates

Want to work for one of these employers?

A permit issued last year means they know the process. The roles we have open right now are on the live jobs page, and you never pay us anything.

For employers

On this list, or hiring from overseas too?

Talk to us the next time you recruit. We supply trade tested candidates, can organise a trip to see them tested at our vetted test centres, and handle the paperwork with you. No retainer.

  • No retainer. Nothing to sign until you have met people.
  • Work shown on video before you see a CV. Trade tested before you hire.
  • Nothing is ever charged to the candidate.
