  • J&A Recruitment cannot guarantee that an employment permit will be granted.

  • Visa applications are separate from employment permit applications.

  • J&A Recruitment does not provide visa services or employee sponsorship.

Non-EU Candidate Assistance

Example Scenario

A skilled professional living outside the European Union is interested in pursuing employment opportunities in Ireland but is unsure of the process involved.

J&A Recruitment will assess the candidate's qualifications, skills and experience before matching them with suitable vacancies from our client base. Where an Irish employer offers employment and the role meets the relevant eligibility requirements, we can assist both the employer and the candidate with the preparation and management of the Employment Permit application.

We remain available throughout the recruitment and permit process, providing clear communication and guidance to both parties until the candidate is ready to commence employment in Ireland.

Please Note: All Employment Permit applications remain subject to Irish legislation, eligibility requirements and approval by the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment.
