Looking to advertise vacancies?

Did you know that you can advertise a post through www.jobsireland.ie, one of the largest online job vacancy services in the country - advertising over 120,000 jobs last year alone? 

Whether you are looking for the best of local talent or conducting a European-wide search, our experienced employer teams can help you to find potential candidates. We can organise recruitment events and conduct preliminary interviews.

Thinking about hiring staff?

JobsPlus is a cash grant to employers of up to €10,000 for each eligible person recruited from the Live Register. It is paid in monthly instalments directly into your bank account, so it can really help with cash flow!   The process couldn’t be easier - simply register at www.jobsplus.ie and start looking for your ideal recruit.   Our Intreo team would also be happy to help you to identify suitably qualified job-ready candidates.

Not yet looking to hire, but could benefit from an injection of fresh talent from motivated jobseekers looking for an opportunity to gain some valuable work experience or develop their careers? Consider offering a JobBridge internship for 6 or 9 months! The Department of Social Protection pays the intern. If you hire the person at the end of the internship, you can qualify for JobsPlus – giving you a double bonus.
