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 


Winning Large Recruitment Agency of the Year is a significant milestone for FRS Recruitment. This award celebrates agencies that demonstrate:


  • 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


Ireland’s IT sector is fast-moving, competitive, and globally connected, and securing the Best IT Recruitment Company award for the second year in a row highlights our specialist expertise in a demanding space.


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


  • Deep understanding of Ireland’s tech ecosystem
  • Strong candidate networks across software, infrastructure, cybersecurity, data and AI
  • High fill rates for hard-to-source roles

  • A blend of specialist consultants and data-led sourcing strategies


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


These awards are not standalone achievements – they are the outcome of a focused, organisation-wide strategy launched five years ago. 


Our goals were clear:


  • Modernise recruitment through people, technology and analytics
  • Strengthen sector specialisms

  • Enhance customer experience
  • Scale sustainably nationwide


This ERF recognition signals that the plan is working, and the best is yet to come.
