Hays Ireland

Almost half (44 per cent) of Irish employers know very little about the Government’s “Jobs Action Plan” while one in 10 has never even heard of the JobBridge scheme for internships.

Would you have the nerve to cycle the length of Ireland with no previous experience? That’s what two plucky employees from Hays, the recruiting experts, are doing in aid of the Irish children’s charity Barretstown to raise €10,000.

If you’re asking “who’s Don Draper?” you’ve been missing out on the latest TV (box set) phenomenon that is Mad Men.

Hays, the leading recruitment expert, raised over €1,000 for Barretstown from Sunday’s Great Ireland Run 2011 in Phoenix Park.
