Savings with Recruitroo
Building the Specialist Workforce for a Net-Zero Future
As Ireland's leading utility, ESB is at the forefront of a massive energy transition. Delivering complex, large-scale projects in areas like offshore wind, smart grids, and infrastructure upgrades requires a constant influx of highly specialized international talent. The global competition for these experts is fierce, and relying on traditional, slow-moving recruitment agencies creates project delays and significant costs.
A diminishing pool of local candidates for critical roles such as slaughter operatives, boners, and refrigeration technicians.
Difficulty scaling the workforce efficiently to manage seasonal peaks and fluctuating market demands, leading to potential output limitations.
Navigating the intricate and time-consuming processes of work permit acquisition and international relocation for non-EU nationals.
Standard recruitment fees (often €7,500+ per hire) without comprehensive support for relocation and integration, placing a significant administrative burden on internal HR.
Envisioning a Stable and Skilled Workforce Future
Collaboration with Recruitroo can transform your approach to talent acquisition, creating a predictable and sustainable staffing model:
Consistent Talent Pipeline
Gain access to a steady stream of qualified international candidates, ensuring your facilities are optimally staffed year-round, mitigating disruptions caused by labour volatility.

Reduced Administrative Burden
Delegate complex sourcing, visa processing, and relocation tasks to our dedicated platform and team, allowing your HR department to focus on core strategic functions.
