Each sector page joins the occupations it recruits into, how the published DETE lists name them, the bodies that decide registration, and the licensed agencies working in it.
Hospital groups, nursing homes, home care providers and disability services sit at the top of Ireland's published employment permit statistics, and most clinical roles answer to a registration body before anyone can practise here.
Medtech, pharmaceutical, food and precision engineering plants recruit through licensed agencies across Ireland, and the permit position changes sharply between the technical roles and the process operative groups.
Hotels, restaurants and contract catering recruit year round, and the permit position for kitchen roles turns on the exact grade and the years of experience named in the published DETE row.
Software companies, IT services firms and the technology functions inside every other sector recruit through licensed agencies across Ireland, and most technology unit groups are named on the Critical Skills Occupations List.
Main contractors, engineering consultancies and specialist subcontractors recruit through licensed agencies across Ireland, and site work carries a training and card requirement that sits entirely outside the permit system.
Dairy and pig units, horticulture growers, meat plants and seafood processors recruit through licensed agencies across Ireland, and the published permit rows for the sector are written around specific named roles.
Hauliers, distribution centres and third party logistics operators recruit through licensed agencies across Ireland, and the driver side carries a licence and CPC layer that no permit decision replaces.
Banks, insurers, funds administrators and payments firms recruit through licensed agencies across Ireland, and regulated roles carry a Central Bank standard that applies to the person as well as the firm.
Every licensed agency on these pages comes from the WRC register. Advantage adds presence on the sector and occupation pages your roles belong to; Premier takes the sponsored position at the top of the sectors you name.
