Why employers in Ireland recruit internationally
Irish demand concentrates in construction, food processing and care, all of which recruit through the year rather than to a season. The workplace language is English, which shortens the settling-in period and widens the range of roles a candidate can be put forward for.
-
An English-speaking workplace
Candidates with working English can be considered across the full range of roles, including guest-facing and care work.
-
Year-round demand
Construction, processing and care recruit continuously, so cover is a standing arrangement rather than one intake.
-
Processing runs on shifts
Food and dairy processing staff against shift patterns, and briefs are built around them.
-
The Irish route, handled
Contracts and the documentation Ireland requires are prepared as part of the placement.
