Further seasons on precision-run farms in Japan, Oman, the UAE, New Zealand and beyond — adapting to different systems, climates and herd sizes.

An extra pair of hands that pays for itself
Beef margins are tight and good help is nearly impossible to find. A dependable worker on a trial basis, with no obligation, is the lowest-risk way to find out what a difference it makes.

Peace of mind, at home
Inviting a carer into a family home is a decision built entirely on trust. That's why every placement starts with a trial — so you and your loved one can be sure before anything is settled.

For factories & food processors
Turnover on the line is expensive — recruitment, retraining, lost output. Our candidates come to Ireland to build a future, and it shows in how they work and how long they stay.
Staff who stay Long-term workers, not stopgaps Request line workersStaff who keep your venue running
For hotels, restaurants, bars and guesthouses — experienced people across the roles that are hardest to fill and hardest to keep: kitchen, floor, bar, housekeeping, cleaning and nights.

Chefs and kitchen staff with real service experience — from busy hotel kitchens to high-volume restaurants.
- Front of house & bar
Waiting staff and bar staff who are presentable, quick and good with people — trained in demanding international hotel environments.
- Housekeeping, cleaning & night porters
The backbone roles every hotel depends on — thorough cleaners, reliable housekeepers and night porters who take the quiet hours seriously.
Employment permit eligibility varies widely across hospitality roles — chef positions are generally eligible, while many front-of-house, cleaning and porter roles are not. Talk to us about the roles you need and we'll give you a straight answer on what's possible for each.
For hotels, restaurants & bars
Hospitality turnover burns money and burns out the staff who stay. Our candidates come to Ireland to build a life, not to pass through a season — and it shows in how long they stay with you.
