Recruitment in Kildare

No. Kildare is covered by our Dublin office at 20 Harcourt Street, Dublin 2, D02 H364, a short drive from the county line. The group was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Waterford.

Over 25 years. Hartley People was founded in 2001 and has recruited across Ireland ever since, from our Waterford head office and our Dublin office.

Rather than make that claim for ourselves, we’d point to what’s verifiable: 25+ years recruiting across Ireland, a Dublin office next door to the county, and recruiters who know the industries that drive Kildare’s economy. That’s worth a conversation, but you should judge any agency on its own history and presence, not marketing copy.

We recruit across 19 specialisms in Kildare, including Technology, Engineering, Manufacturing, Life Sciences, Accountancy & Finance, HR, Sales, Construction, Logistics & Supply Chain and Executive Appointments, reflecting the industries that actually drive employment in the county.

Yes. We recruit across North, Mid and South Kildare, including Naas, Newbridge, Maynooth, Leixlip, Celbridge, Kildare Town, Clane and Athy, and into the commuter market including Lucan, Portlaoise, Enfield and Carlow.

Yes. Intel, the Kildare Innovation Campus and Maynooth University are all here, and over 40% of Celbridge and Leixlip workers commute to Dublin, so we recruit on both sides.

Yes. Naas and Newbridge are Mid Kildare’s main employment centres, home to Kerry Group, Aldi Ireland’s head office, Bord na Móna and Naas General Hospital.

Yes. More than 41,000 Kildare residents work outside the county, most in Dublin. We recruit for Dublin employers too, so we know where these people work and how to present a closer-to-home role.

Yes, through Hartley People Recruitment: permanent hiring across all 19 specialisms, delivered from our Dublin office.

Yes, through Flexiforce, part of the same group: temporary staffing, high-volume recruitment and workforce solutions for Kildare employers.

Yes. Engineering and technology are among Kildare’s most competitive recruitment areas, with Intel at Leixlip setting the pace, from process and maintenance engineers to software and data roles.

Yes. Wholesale and retail is the largest employer of Kildare residents, and we recruit head office, buying, supply chain, warehouse and transport roles along the M7 and M4.

Yes. Manufacturing employs more than 11,800 Kildare residents, and food science, quality, regulatory and production roles are a core part of that market, where experienced candidates are rarely actively job-hunting.

Yes, through Burton Sinclair, our specialist executive search business, and through SearchPLUS for senior and hard-to-fill appointments within Hartley People Recruitment.

Through our 150,000+ candidate network, direct sourcing, LinkedIn Recruiter, market mapping and referral networks, combined with recruiters who understand who’s actually working where across Kildare.

Yes, through SearchPLUS, our specialist sourcing solution for difficult-to-fill, strategic and mid-to-senior appointments where advertising alone won’t reach the right candidates.

Fees depend on the seniority and complexity of the role and which service is involved: permanent, temporary or executive. Get in touch and we’ll talk you through pricing for your specific requirement, no obligation.

It depends on the seniority of the role and how niche the requirement is. We’ll give you a realistic timeline once we understand what the hire needs to achieve.
