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

We review the applicable employment permit requirements and the recruitment or immigration support you need.
Hiring in the UK

Discuss your requirements so we can establish whether the service fits your case.

How Recruitroo Enabled Hatcon Construction to Successfully Hire International Skilled Trades After Deeming It Too Risky
Hatcon Construction faced mounting pressures that threatened their ability to take on new projects. The European construction industry lacked sufficient bricklayers, carpenters, and general operatives. The immigration process seemed too risky and time-consuming to pursue. They required multiple skilled workers to join simultaneously for project staffing, and had uncertainty about assessing skills and English proficiency remotely.

answered.
Either we source already-certified candidates, or we coordinate the certification ahead of start date so the worker is site-ready on day one.
Yes. We can discuss a programme tailored to your expected annual hiring and immigration workload, including project batches. Scope and commercial terms are agreed before you commit.
Each candidate completes a structured video skills demonstration and reference check before reaching your shortlist — recorded in the platform for review.
Yes. Eligible construction trades can be hired on a General Employment Permit in Ireland or a UK Skilled Worker visa where the occupation qualifies. We check the role against the current eligible-occupation lists and salary thresholds before sourcing.
The employer pays the government permit or sponsor fees — it can't be deducted from the worker's wages. The candidate typically covers their own visa/entry and registration costs. We set out the split per case before you commit.
Common corridors for construction trades include the Philippines, India, Brazil and South Africa. We match the source country to the role, English level and visa route rather than sourcing from a single market.
