Where will your team work?
Your hiring country determines the requirements. We'll review the role, candidate circumstances and your responsibilities before recommending the next step.
Hiring in Ireland
Discuss the roles you need to fill, your hiring plans and any candidates you have already identified.
We review the applicable employment permit requirements and the recruitment or immigration support you need.
Hiring in the UK
Eligibility depends on the occupation, salary, candidate circumstances and your sponsorship arrangements. Irish permit rules do not apply to UK hires.
Discuss your requirements so we can establish whether the service fits your case.
The support behind your next hire.
Visa filed for the candidate
GEP applications submitted by our case team — the candidate provides details, data and documents, we handle preparation, filing and tracking.
Renewals stay current
Workforce retention depends on renewals not slipping — we track expiry dates and file renewals in advance.
The challenges.

Labour Market Needs Test slowing the start
We run LMNT advertising, record the evidence and submit alongside the case.
Seasonal demand competing with one-off cycles

Your questions,
answered.
Yes — meat-processing operative roles have appeared on the shortage / eligible list. We confirm route eligibility against current guidance before each case.
Bulk seasonal hiring fits the Scale or Enterprise monthly programme so capacity is reserved instead of competing with one-off recruitment cycles.
When LMNT is required we run the advertising window, record evidence and submit the test alongside the case — all tracked in the platform.
Yes. Several agri-food roles (for example meat-processing operatives) have appeared on Ireland's eligible/shortage lists and can be hired on a General Employment Permit. We confirm current eligibility and the salary threshold before each case.
The employer pays the government permit fee and can't deduct it from the worker. Candidates usually cover their own entry visa and registration costs. We map who pays what before the case starts.
