The HR Company Ireland: Expert HR & Employment Law Support

Running a business means dealing with staff, contracts, and employment law. Often, managers and owners find themselves working without an HR team on hand for necessary support. As an established HR Company Irish employers rely on, we give you clear advice and proper documentation. As a result, you stay compliant and protected while you continue all the important work that matters.

  • A dedicated HR advisor who learns your business and stays on your team, so you are not starting from scratch on every call.

  • 24/7 HR advice, 365 days a year, because staff issues rarely wait until Monday morning.

  • Contracts of employment and an employee handbook shaped around how your company actually runs, not a generic template.

Built on Real HR Experience

The HR Company was founded in 2000 by Philip Carney, former Head of Human Resources at Microsoft’s European Operations Centre (now EMEA), and Angela O’Grady, former Staffing and Recruiting Manager at Microsoft. That background still shapes how we help a wide range of Irish employers today.

We are 100% Irish-owned, and our focus is Irish employment law and the businesses that operate under it. Over the years, we have supported more than 1,200 businesses across Ireland, ranging from small teams to large employers. Our work is backed by ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certification, so your HR support and your data are handled to a recognised standard. That mix of real HR background, Irish ownership, and certified process is what employers find confidence in, letting them carry on with their work while we handle their HR solutions.

Why Choose an Irish-owned HR Company in Ireland

Irish ownership matters for HR because the local employment law has its own rules, bodies, and way of settling disputes. A specialist HR partner who works only within the Irish system and knows the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) well is worth a lot when a claim or an inspection is on the table.

Most disputes that reach the WRC come down to process. Things like a missing contract or a handbook that nobody kept updated. When you get the paperwork and steps right, you eliminate a lot of the risk before it starts.

As a fully Irish owned HR company in Ireland, we do not simply apply an existing template from another market. We help with contracts of employment, policies, grievances, disciplinary matters, and day-to-day HR advice, all tailored for Irish law best practices. For clients like SMEs and larger employers alike, that local focus is the practical difference.

What Working with The HR Company Ireland Looks Like

We make working with us a simple process. You are not locked into a rigid system. Instead, we help most Irish businesses settle in through three plain stages.

  • First, we talk. You tell us about your team and the HR gaps you are worried about, and we explain how we can help as outsourced HR consultants.
  • Then, we set you up. Your professional human resources advisor gets your contracts, handbook, and core organisational documents in order so your foundations are sound.
  • After that, we support you. Whenever an issue comes up, urgent or routine, your dedicated HR advisor is there to guide you through it.

You get steady HR expertise and support and real employment law backing, without the cost of building an in-house department.

Frequently Asked Questions

An HR company in Ireland gives your business expert support on staff and employment law matters. That covers contracts of employment, employee handbooks, grievances, disciplinary issues, redundancy, leave entitlements, and WRC dealings. For most businesses it works like an outsourced HR department. You get advice when you need it, your documents stay compliant with Ireland’s law, and you have a dedicated HR consultancy advisor to call when a difficult situation lands, all without hiring full-time HR services in-house.

Yes. An in-house recruitment means one salary, one pension, and one person’s knowledge. Outsourced HR gives you a dedicated advisor backed by a wider HR team, usually for far less than the cost of recruiting someone directly. You also get a broader range of HR expertise, since your advisor works across many sectors and businesses and keeps up with Irish employment law as it changes. For a lot of small and medium-sized employers, it is a more practical way to get proper HR cover.

Yes, we do. We started out supporting small and medium-sized enterprises and still do, but we also work with large employers and well-known multinationals across Ireland. The service scales to fit the size of your business operation. A small team might need core contracts, a handbook, and advice on the phone, while a larger organisation may need audits, restructuring support, and training. Either way, you get a dedicated advisor and access to the same HR and employment law expertise built around your business.

Yes. Preparing for the Workplace Relations Commission is something our advisors handle regularly. We help you get contracts, policies, and records in order, so that you are always prepared and do not get caught out if an inspection or claim arrives. Most WRC problems trace back to gaps in process or paperwork, so a lot of our work is closing those gaps early. That empowers your business to stand up to scrutiny and minimises risk of a costly outcome.

Yes. Tailored contracts of employment and a bespoke employee handbook are core parts of what we do. Our contracts were developed with legal input to protect employers, then shaped around your specific business. A handbook does not add to employee rights, which is a common worry among owners. It simply sets out clear policies and procedures for the workplace, which helps protect your company if a dispute ever comes up.

We do. We offer an HR system that handles the day-to-day admin, alongside providing advice and documentation. This helps you book and manage annual leave, record timesheets, and keep employee records in one place, rather than store them across spreadsheets and filing cabinets. It stores details like personal information, training records, performance notes, and review data. The system works with our advisory service, so you get practical software and expert HR support from the same Irish provider.

Take HR Headaches Off Your Plate

You do not have to manage employment law, staff problems, and paperwork on your own. The right HR support services keep your business compliant, protect you when issues arise, and free you to focus on running the company to meet your business needs and goals.
