An HR consultancy built on ethical, compliance-led international recruitment

CaraHR began as a specialist talent management company serving Ireland's private healthcare sector. Founded by HR and former embassy professionals with more than 35 years of combined senior leadership experience, we are based in Ireland with a dedicated recruitment and candidate-support team in the Philippines. We also provide specialist HR advisory services for Irish SMEs and executive search services.

We believe international recruitment should be ethical, transparent, compliant and long-term

Our goal is to help organisations build ...stable, sustainable workforces, while ensuring candidates are treated fairly and prepared for success in Ireland.
