David Bell and the HR Department provide the essential consulting and HR administrative services required for a business located in the US with offices in Ireland. By quickly gaining an understanding of our business, culture and values David earned the respect of our senior managers in the US and in Ireland.

As a result, we view David as a member of our HR team and depend on his in-depth knowledge of Irish Employment Law and business practices to provide the advice and information needed to make informed business decisions. This has been especially true as our firm transitions to a new global model.

David and his colleagues are collaborative and responsive. They have never failed to exceed our expectations.

McInerneySaunders
Chartered Accountants and Registered Auditor

We engaged the services of The HR Department to conduct an audit of our HR Procedures. This work was completed and the findings resulted in an update of our employment contracts and staff handbook.

We realised this was also a service which would be of benefit for our clients and since then we have introduced The HR department to a number of clients, all of whom have been reassured to know that they are now compliant with all current employment legislation.

We have also used the services of David Bell to consult on any HR matters and we have found David’s knowledge to be invaluable in responding to matters which are of significant importance to our clients and the development of their business.
Since first meeting with David, he has been extremely helpful and proactive in his approach and I commend his professional work ethic and care and attention to clients - every client is made to feel like his only client.

Stephen Murtagh & Sons Limited

Stephen Murtagh & Sons employed the services of The HR Department in September 2007. Their professional attitude and meticulous attention to detail to our specific requirements were exactly what our company needed. From initial consultation through to audit and finally presentation of official personalized handbook was both informative and very useful. Their follow up on related HR issues has been also most helpful to our company.We would be very confident and happy to recommend their services to companies similar to ourselves.

Colin J Murtagh, Managing Director

XS Direct Holdings Limited

As a business that is expanding and taking on new staff we found the HR Department’s approach to be exactly what we required. The audit process was very useful for establishing what policies we wanted and also made us appreciate what our obligations were as an employer. We now have an excellent contract for all our employees and a staff handbook that reflects our requirements. I would highly recommend the HR Department to any business that may need HR advice and help both putting the right policies in place and helping us into the future.

Chris McCann, Managing Director

Colliers Jackson-Stops

The HR Department provides us with a confidential and excellent service, in a very professional manner. The Consultants take the time to understand our company needs and provide us with valuable knowledge (verbally and in a clear and concise report). We are always treated as a valued client and our questions are always answered quickly and efficiently.

We would certainly recommend them to other companies who require a HR service, and look forward in continuing our relationship with them into the future.

Caroline Ashcroft, Office Manager

JP Morgan

We engaged The HR Department almost 3 years ago to fully outsource our recruitment function. Since then it has continued to add value, both in terms of the day to day functions around recruitment as well as advice and consultancy, to improve the process and therefore the service provided.

The onsite consultant liaises directly with the recruiting managers and they are very comfortable to do so. We have had 2 different consultants over this period, both for over a year and each fitted in and came up to speed very quickly.

We have found them to be very knowledgeable and efficient and very pleasant to work with.

SDL Exhibitions Ltd

SDL Exhibitions Ltd came in contact with the HR Department through their financial advisor's, Financial Engineering, early in 2002.As a small, owner-operated business of 12 to 15 people, for over 20 years SDL had no formal HR Policies and only do-it-yourself type contracts with some of its more recent employees.

The HR team proposed an initial review of the company's contractual relationships with its employees, including the completion of employee data forms and provided a summary of 'where we are now'.

Phase 2 involved drafting new contracts for each employee and a company handbook.
Phase 3 involved the implementation of the new structures, meeting the staff as a group and explaining the changes.

The whole procedure was completed with ease from a management point of view and showed our staff that we want to comply with legislation designed to protect them. It also ensured that SDL does comply with legal requirements which we, like most small companies, did not.

Finally, when you do (or might) have a problem, it is reassuring to know that professional advice is just a phone call away.
