On Friday 28 November, FRS Recruitment secured two major wins at the Employment & Recruitment Federation (ERF) Awards 2025, taking home the prestigious Large Recruitment Agency of the Year award and the coveted Best IT Recruitment Company title.

These awards recognise excellence across Ireland’s recruitment industry, and this year’s wins reflect the strength of our teams, the trust of our clients, and the success of our five-year strategic plan to create a people-centred, data-driven, future-ready recruitment experience.

Large Recruitment Agency of the Year

  • Outstanding client partnerships
  • Innovation in recruitment delivery
  • Strong candidate care
  • Robust governance and operational excellence
  • Measurable impact on Ireland’s labour market


For FRS Recruitment, the recognition reflects years of investment in people and technology, service design, and nationwide expansion, as well as our unwavering commitment to helping people and organisations thrive.


Best IT Recruitment Company

Our IT division has built a strong reputation for excellence through:

This award recognises our team’s exceptional results, responsiveness, and ability to consistently match high-calibre talent with Ireland’s fastest-growing technology employers.


A Strategic Win for Our Five-Year Plan
