Recruitment in Ireland

Hi all

I work for a company based in England, who are looking to recruit an Engineer based in the Republic of Ireland. I don't really want to go down the agency route as I'd like to keep costs down but have no experience of recruiting in this area. I've done some research online, but would appreciate any local knowledge regarding job boards/ other avenues to consider? The role is a Service Engineer within the boiler industry.

Thanks in advance

    You are contemplating employing a *foreigner* ?? - how could you! - we've just voted to keep them all out and thus to make Britain great again......

    Seriously, though, UK is still an EU member so most EU nationals are free to live and work in the UK. Your only complications are likely to involve the journey across the water for interviews etc and their relocation to live in UK, which might be substantial. However the longer term future prospects for EU nationals working in UK are likely to change once Britain formally / legally leaves the EU: those already here are likely to be okay, especially our Irish neighbours, but there is inevitably doubt and speculation as to where and when any future lines will be drawn. This hardly incentivises skilled EU nationals to bring their talents to the UK economy, but there we go - stew in own juice and all that
