How it works

No portals to learn and no account managers you never meet. One consultant, one invoice.

  1. Tell us what you need. The role, the site, the start date and the tickets required.
  2. We shortlist from a cleared pool. Not an advert from scratch, which is why it is fast.
  3. Tickets verified before submission. Safe Pass, CSCS and right to work, checked against the awarding body.
  4. People on site. Usually inside 48 hours for standard roles.
  5. We handle the rest. Weekly payroll, tax, PRSI and employer compliance, invoiced once.

Common questions

How quickly can you supply construction staff in Ireland?

For most roles, inside 48 hours. We work from a pool of operatives and trades whose tickets are already verified rather than starting an advert from scratch, which is what makes short notice cover possible.

Do you supply across the whole of Ireland?

Yes. We have four offices, in Dublin, Naas, Cork and Galway, and between them they cover every county. Each desk is run by consultants who work their own patch.

Who employs the workers you supply?

We do. Agency staff are employed by O’Neill & Brennan, so we handle weekly payroll, tax, PRSI and employer compliance. You receive a single invoice.

Do you check tickets and right to work?

Every worker is interviewed, their right to work confirmed and their tickets verified against the awarding body before they are submitted. We track expiry dates so nobody arrives on site with a lapsed card.

Can you handle a full project mobilisation?

Yes. We regularly mobilise full crews for project starts as well as supplying individual replacements. Larger mobilisations need more notice, so talk to us as early as you can.

Do you place permanent staff as well as contract?

Yes. Our professional and technical desk handles permanent appointments from site engineer through to contracts manager, including confidential senior searches.
