FOR EMPLOYERS
How it works
Three steps get an account approved. Two are entirely in your hands, though verifying with a different work email means waiting on a code rather than an instant match. Here's exactly which is which, and why the third one always needs a person.
Claim your company
Self-serviceSearch the same government employment permit register candidates already see on visajobs.ie. If your company has sponsored a permit before, its record is already there, with its real filing history attached. No match? Create a fresh company profile from scratch instead.
Verify your work email
Self-serviceAdd your company's website. If your confirmed signup email matches that domain, the work email is verified automatically. If you use a different work address, request a six-digit code there instead.
Get reviewed, then post
Reviewed by a personEvery account goes through a short review before it can post a role, even one with a clean permit-register match or a verified domain. Once approved, publishing and reopening roles is entirely self-service, no review on each post, and every role carries a verified badge across the whole candidate site. We can still revisit an account's status later if something changes.
What's automatic
- ·Searching and claiming your company record
- ·Verifying a matching confirmed signup email
- ·Requesting a code for a different work email
- ·Seeing your permit-register match reflected on your dashboard
What one person decides
- ·Whether your account can post at all
- ·Whether to deactivate an account later, if something changes
Why we keep it this way
A permit-register match or a matching work email proves who you are. It doesn't say anything about whether we want a given company's roles on the candidate site, which is a separate question with a person behind the answer, not a database lookup. Keeping those as two distinct checks is what makes the verified badge mean something once you have it.
Once you're approved
No limit on live roles, and no cost right now. Posting a role here is separate from actually applying for the employment permit itself, which still goes through the government's own Employment Permits Online system. See the EPOS account setup guide for that part, and hiring international employees for the full process end to end.
Common questions
Does a permit-register match skip the review?
No. It's strong evidence you are who you say you are, but that's a different question from whether we want a company's roles listed. A clean match speeds the review along; a person still makes the call.
How long does review actually take?
We don't promise a number, because it genuinely depends on the queue, not on how clean your match is. What we can promise is that once approved, everyday posting and reopening don't need another review, though an account's status can still be revisited later if something changes.
What if I signed up with a personal email?
You can still verify. Add your company's website in your profile, then request the code to any address on that domain, even if it's not the one you registered with.
