What this tells you

A working relationship with the permit system

How to approach them

Time it to the rhythm

This year Darragh McArdle Engineering Limited's permits peaked in May. Hiring rounds tend to repeat, so an application a couple of months ahead of that lands when the decision is being made.

The record

For candidates

What you need to work here

  • The right permit for the job. Most trades and driving roles go through a General Employment Permit, which is issued for 2 years and can be renewed. Roles on the Critical Skills list use a Critical Skills Employment Permit.
  • Pay at or above the minimum for the permit. For a General Employment Permit the Department currently lists it as generally EUR 36,605 a year, with lower figures for meat processing, horticulture, healthcare assistants and home support. Check the official figure for your role before you rely on it.
