Data You Can Trust
We aggregate, clean, and analyze official employment permit data from the Department of Enterprise to bring transparency to the Irish job market for non-EEA talent.
The Ireland Sponsorship Index (ISI)
A proprietary scoring model (0-100) designed to instantly identify companies that are actively and consistently hiring international talent.
Rewards the scale of sponsorship in the current year. "Titan" sponsors get maximum recognition.
Rewards reliability. Companies that sponsor consistently year-over-year are safer bets.
Rewards momentum. Is the company increasing its hiring of international talent?
Understanding the Tiers
We classify companies into three easy-to-understand tiers based on their total Index Score. This helps you prioritize your applications.
Elite Sponsor (80-100)
High-volume, consistent 'Titans' that are actively growing. Your highest probability targets.
Active Sponsor (50-79)
Reliable companies with moderate volume or consistent history.
Emerging Sponsor (1-49)
Smaller companies or recent sponsors. Worth applying, but verify active roles first.

Data Sources & Integrity
Our data pipeline is rigorous. We process messy government files into structured, verified company profiles.
Government Reports
We source raw data directly from the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (DETE). We ingest monthly CSV reports on employment permits issued from 2018 to present.
Normalization Engine
Company names are often inconsistent (e.g., "Google Ireland" vs "Google Ireland Ltd"). We use advanced verification to merge duplicate records, giving you a single, complete view.
