🗺️Ireland’s Talent Pool is Growing – and Diversifying🌎 In recent data from CSO (Central Statistics Office Ireland), the year to April 2024, #Ireland saw 149,000 people arrive – the highest #immigration level in 16 years – while 69,000 departed, the highest since 2015. Over half of new arrivals are aged 25–44, the prime working years, bringing fresh skills and perspectives into our economy. Talent is coming from across the globe, with notable inflows from #India, #Ukraine, #Brazil, the #EU, and the #UK. Today, Ireland’s population stands at 5.45 million, with 81% #Irish nationals and an increasingly international workforce. For employers, this presents both opportunity and responsibility: 🔹Access to a wider, more diverse talent pool. 🔹The need for effective integration strategies to maximise skills and cultural strengths. 🔹Greater potential to fill critical skills gaps, particularly in growth sectors. At a time when competition for talent is global, Ireland’s demographic trends are a strategic advantage — if we harness them well. How can we, as business leaders and recruiters, ensure this growing diversity translates into stronger innovation, productivity, and growth? #Ireland #Talent #Recruitment #Workforce #Diversity #IrishBusiness #Hiring #talentpool #industryinsights #industryleaders #hiring #employment #statistics #immigration #migration #behaviouralanalysis #industrytrends Sigmar Recruitment

Recruitment Timelines Don’t Lie - Act Now, Stamp 1G Friends and All Other Jobseekers! On average, companies in Ireland take 4-8 weeks to complete their recruitment process. Do the maths: 👉 Apply in October → possible offer before Christmas 👉 Apply in November → process drags into January 👉 Wait until January → you’ve lost 3+ months in silence Here’s why October is critical: most companies wrap up Q3 (July-September) planning and finalise Q4 hiring budgets and headcounts in early October. That means this month is the real window to get into the pipeline before the Christmas slowdown. And remember: rejection or silence doesn’t define your value. Employers are still hiring this month, but only if your CV is in front of them now.
