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 & immigration handled
GEP and UK Skilled Worker filings submitted by our case team. The candidate just provides the documents we ask for.
Predictable hiring capacity
Monthly programmes give you a dedicated annual credit allocation — useful when production scale-ups can't wait for one-off recruitment cycles.
The challenges.
A practical response.
Shift-pattern mismatch at offer stage
We brief candidates on rota, overtime and unsocial hours up-front so there are no surprises.
Skills hard to verify remotely
Trade-test evidence and structured competence interviews on every shortlisted profile.
Scale-up schedules vs. one-off recruitment cycles
Annual credit allocation on a monthly programme keeps capacity reserved when production scales.

How Recruitroo Helped Assa Abloy Navigate Ireland's Employment Permit System for the First Time
As a first-time user of the Irish employment permit system, Assa Abloy faced multiple challenges. They had no prior experience with Ireland's employment permit requirements and needed expert guidance to ensure legal and procedural compliance with internal policies. Urgent hiring needs meant they had to fill a critical estimator role efficiently. They also wanted assurance that their hiring process would remain compliant over time.

Trade-test evidence, video skills demonstrations and structured competence interviews are stored per candidate so your reviewers have evidence in one place.
Yes. Depending on the role, manufacturing hires go via the General Employment Permit or (for shortage/skilled roles) the Critical Skills Employment Permit in Ireland, or a UK Skilled Worker visa. We confirm the route and threshold before sourcing.
The employer pays the government permit/sponsor fees and can't pass them to the worker. Workers usually cover their own registration and entry-visa costs. We break down who pays what for each case at the start.
Yes — we brief candidates on shift patterns, unsocial hours and overtime before shortlisting, and monthly programmes reserve hiring capacity so a scale-up or new line doesn't wait on one-off recruitment cycles.
