I did a previous post listing recruitment agencies to help you find suitable ones to source candidates.

Here is an updated list of recruitment agencies in Ireland.

What makes a “great place to work” in Ireland?

50 Best Companies To Work For in Ireland is a yearly award which generates much interest and prestige in Ireland. Organisations who go to great lengths to achieve employee satisfaction will register on this list. Happy employees are great BUT happy customers are just as important. What about an award where customers rate companies? (If there already is such and award – excuse my ignorance).

I am very quick to complain but slow to compliment – so here goes. I just had a great customer experience with Statcounter. When an organisation is led by an individual (Aodhán Cullen) who takes time out of his busy schedule to resolve your issue it leaves a lasting impression. I guess this is related to the above award as I am certain a company that looks after its customers will surely look after its staff.

Attracting Staff – Recruitment Agencies

Employers love to complain about Recruitment Agencies. I agree that there are cowboys out there BUT agencies do have and always will have an important role to play in recruiting staff.

I help clients to assess and select applicants BUT I do not help them attract or source candidates. I am often asked what agencies I recommend. I have many great contacts in the industry but I tend to let clients make their own decisions. The advice I give to clients is somewhat similar to that that is given to jobseekers.

For employers not familiar with the recruitment agency market or employers recruiting in Ireland for the first I have identified agencies under a number of categories. I would point out that there are over 500 recruitment agencies registered in Ireland so the list below is a short summary to point you in the right direction.
