Filipino-owned. Ireland-based.
Built for this exact challenge.

CA Recruitment was founded by people who understand the Filipino workforce from the inside — and who understand what Irish employers actually need from a recruitment partner.

The agency that knows both sides of this equation.

Most recruitment agencies that claim to specialise in overseas workers have never set foot in the Philippines. They work from databases, not relationships. They know the paperwork, not the people.

CA Recruitment was built differently. We are Filipino-owned and Ireland-based — which means we have genuine connections in the communities where we source candidates, and genuine understanding of what Irish employers are dealing with when they take on a non-EU worker for the first time.

We handle everything: sourcing, vetting, employment permit applications, DETE liaison, employment law compliance, pre-departure support, and post-placement check-ins. You focus on your business. We handle the rest.

Our candidates are not pulled from a CV database. They are interviewed, reference-checked, and in many cases assessed in person on the ground in the Philippines before they are ever presented to you. We only put forward people we'd hire ourselves.

Why choose us

What makes CA Recruitment different.

🇵🇭

Filipino-owned and operated

We are not a third-party broker. We have real cultural knowledge, real language fluency, and real community networks in the Philippines. That is how we find candidates other agencies miss.

🔍

On-the-ground candidate vetting

We have people on the ground in the Philippines who assess candidates in person, not just remotely. References checked, qualifications verified, character assessed — before anyone is presented to you.

📋

End-to-end permit management

Employment permit applications, DETE submissions, supporting documentation — we manage the entire process. You don't fill in a single form. We take full ownership from first conversation to first shift.

✅

DETE permit process, built in

Every placement is structured in line with Irish employment permit law. We manage the DETE application process, keep up with regulatory changes, and protect your business from compliance risk.

🔄

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.

💰

Transparent, fixed fees

We agree a clear, fixed recruitment fee with you upfront. Government costs — the DETE permit fee, visa, and travel — are billed to you at cost and paid directly to DETE where applicable, never marked up by us.

💬

Honest, jargon-free communication

We give you real timelines, real expectations, and straight answers. No sales runaround, no vague promises. If something isn't possible, we tell you — and we suggest what is.

We place workers across a broad range of industries. Click any sector to learn more about the roles we cover and the permit routes that apply.

Agriculture Construction Hospitality Healthcare Care & Social Services Logistics & Warehousing Manufacturing Accounting & Finance Retail

Compliance isn't a box we tick. It's built into every placement.

Irish employers taking on non-EU workers for the first time often don't know what they don't know. The employment permit system, WRC obligations, salary thresholds, and DETE requirements all carry risk if handled incorrectly.

We manage compliance end to end — and we keep your business protected at every stage of the process, from application to onboarding to the first 90 days of employment.

Licensed Employment Agency

CA Recruitment holds Employment Agency Licence No. EA 5444, issued by the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC). Check it yourself on the WRC List of Licensed Employment Agencies at workplacerelations.ie.

DETE Permit Process Managed

Every placement is structured in line with Irish employment permit law and DETE requirements for non-EU workers.

DETE-Compliant Process

We manage all employment permit applications through the DETE (Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment) employment permit online system.

Transparent Fees, Billed at Cost

Our recruitment fee is agreed in advance. Government permit, visa, and travel costs are passed on to you at cost, with a clear breakdown before anything is agreed.

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.

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 help your worker through IRP registration, PPS number, and settling in, and stay in contact through their first 90 days on the job.

One consultant, start to finish

The same person looks after you from the first call to the worker's first day. Honest, plain-English guidance — no recruitment jargon.
