Finding the Right Fit: How EmployAbility Clare Supports Local Businesses
As a local service, we pride ourselves on understanding how business works and the daily challenges employers face. We invest time in getting to know your workplace, so when a recruitment need arises, we are ready to introduce candidates who are a true fit for your company culture and operations.
Over the years, we have developed expertise in several key areas to make hiring as seamless as possible:
- Creating customised roles that fill operational gaps in your business while matching a candidate’s strengths.
- Direct support with Department of Social Protection (DSP) schemes, including the Wage Subsidy Scheme (WSS), Work Placement Experience Programme (WPEP), and Work and Access.
- Expert guidance on workplace accommodation needs—whether through natural workplace adjustments (such as flexible task allocation or scheduling) or sourcing adaptive equipment.
- Targeted Candidate Support: Working closely with jobseekers to ensure they are job-ready and upskilled to meet your specific workplace requirements.
What Clare Employers Say
Marie O’Byrne, Director of glór, Ennis “Our experience with the WPEP and subsequent WSS process has been hugely positive. The engagement process was seamless, and the support from EmployAbility Clare was exceptional—both for us as an organisation and for our now-invaluable employee. We cannot recommend the programme highly enough based on this experience.”
Eoin Conlon, General Manager, Lahinch Leisure Centre “We have had a fantastic experience. We have employed one individual for the past 2.5 years and she has really delivered and grown into her role. Aside from the fact that we are happy with the work of the individual, the support shown and given from Employability to us and the employee has been exceptional.”
Fiona Kelly, Senior Assistant Manager, Hotel Woodstock, Ennis “The programme allows individuals to immerse themselves in the working environment and ensures that they receive adequate training and support… It was a fantastic experience to see first-hand the individual’s personal development. The support from Employability Clare was a great asset.”
Mary McGann, Manager, Kilmaley Day Centre “Deirdre linked in very regularly with us and ensured that everything was working well for us and also the person on the scheme. I would have no hesitation in recommending this scheme to any employer.”
