Why employers come to us

The local pool has dried up.
That's not changing soon.

Irish businesses in agriculture, construction, care, retail and beyond have been struggling to fill roles for years. Jobs.ie posts get no suitable replies. Agencies promise the world and go quiet. The candidates who do show up leave after a few weeks.

This isn't a you problem. It's a structural problem. The local workforce simply doesn't have the volume, or in many sectors the willingness, to fill the roles that keep Irish businesses running.

Hiring foreign workers is the answer. CA Recruitment is an international recruitment agency specialising in sourcing skilled overseas workers for Irish and UK employers — with every employment permit handled, every document filed, and every compliance step managed before day one.

Irish employer · Construction
"Finding reliable construction workers locally had become nearly impossible. CA Recruitment placed skilled Filipino workers with us who hit the ground running from day one. The whole process (permits, paperwork, everything) was handled for us. Brilliant service."
- Joe Colville, Ecoville Construction
Irish employer · Agriculture
"We had been struggling to fill two pig unit positions for months. CA Recruitment found us two excellent Filipino workers within six months. They settled in immediately and the work ethic is exceptional."
- PJ Ryan, Ballymorris Pig Farm
Irish employer · Administration
"The compliance piece was what worried me most — work permits, visas, the whole lot. CA handled every bit of it. Our new accounts administrator was in the office and productive within two months of first contact."

Our promises to employers

The risk sits with us, not you

Placement fee only when they start

You don't pay our placement fee until your worker actually starts work. Government employment-permit fees are separate and paid to DETE at application — we never mark them up.

90-day replacement guarantee

If a worker we place leaves, or is dismissed for gross misconduct, within the first 90 days, we find a replacement with our recruitment fee covered. See full guarantee terms.

Support through the first 90 days

We don't disappear at placement. We help your worker through IRP registration, PPS number, and settling in, and stay in contact through their first 90 days on the job.

What Irish employers say

Most employers have a bad recruiter story.
Here's why CA's clients keep coming back.

We don't ask you to take our word for it. These are real Irish businesses, in their own words.

"We needed reliable staff for our shop in Midleton and couldn't find the right people locally. CA Recruitment placed two excellent Filipino workers with us — both have been brilliant from day one. Couldn't recommend them highly enough."

Why we're different

This agency is run by someone
who knows both worlds.

Most recruitment agencies treat the Philippines as a database. CA Recruitment's founder, Monette, is Filipino and has built her life in Ireland. She didn't see an opportunity. She saw a gap between two communities she belongs to, and built a bridge.

With people on the ground in the Philippines and deep roots in the Irish business community, Monette and her team understand what Filipino workers need to thrive in Ireland, and exactly what Irish employers need to succeed. That is why CA placements stick.

  • Filipino-owned: we understand culture, values, and work ethic first-hand
  • People physically on the ground in the Philippines, not a remote database
  • Employment permit applications and DETE liaison fully managed for every placement
  • Post-placement support included for every hire. We don't disappear after the contract.
  • Same consultant from brief to first day, so you always know who to call

Why CA Recruitment

We're not a job board.
We're your hiring partner.

We know both sides of the hire

Filipino-owned and Ireland-based, we have on-the-ground relationships across our overseas talent network and a deep understanding of what Irish employers actually need, not just what they write on a job spec.

Permits and compliance, fully managed

Work permit applications, visa guidance, and employment law compliance built into every international hire. We manage the DETE process end to end so you never have to touch a form.

Real people, not ticketing systems

You deal with the same consultant from brief to first day, someone who genuinely understands your business and is reachable on WhatsApp when it matters.

People on the ground in the Philippines

We don't recruit from a remote database. We have established relationships with skilled, English-speaking overseas workers built over time. Vetted, reference-checked, and ready to work in Ireland.

We match you with hard-working international talent and manage the entire employment permit and relocation process, so hiring from overseas is simple and stress-free.

🤝

Reliable, Long-Term Staff

We place hard-working people who are committed to building a long-term future with your business, not just filling a short-term gap.

💬

Free Consultation

Your first conversation with us costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Just an honest chat about your needs.

Common Questions

Everything you want to know upfront.

No vague answers. No sales runaround. If you have a question that isn't here, WhatsApp us. We reply quickly.

Yes, completely. We manage the employment permit application, supporting documentation, and liaise with DETE (Ireland) or the Home Office (UK) on your behalf. You don't touch a single form.
Timelines vary depending on the role, permit type, and candidate availability. We'll give you a realistic, honest timeline during your free consultation so you can plan accordingly. From first contact to first day, most placements complete within 6–8 months.
We place workers across agriculture, construction, hospitality, healthcare, care & social services, logistics & warehousing, manufacturing, accounting & finance, retail, food production, childcare, security, and more. If your sector isn't listed, give us a call. We very likely cover it.
Every candidate is interviewed, reference-checked, and qualification-verified before they're presented to you. We have people on the ground in the Philippines who assess candidates in person, not just from a remote database. We only put forward people we'd hire ourselves.
Our recruitment fee is agreed at your initial consultation and depends on the role type and volume. Separately, government and third-party costs — the DETE employment permit fee, and any visa, travel, medical, or Labour Market Needs Test advertising costs — are paid by you, the employer. We give you a clear, fixed quote and a full breakdown of all expected costs before anything is agreed. The initial consultation is free and commits you to nothing.
Yes. We're experienced with both Irish Critical Skills and General Employment Permit routes, and the UK Skilled Worker visa route. Wherever you're based, we know the rules and handle the process end to end.
We provide post-placement support as standard, including onboarding guidance, check-ins during the first 90 days, and help with any compliance queries that arise.
