NDP Talent is Here!

#WVH exists to source and onboard construction & infrastructure talent so as to help create the bids that score highest.

We focus on sourcing talent from the evidence of their engineering record in the countries that already have mutual recognition agreements with Ireland that do not require a work permit. Where project bids require the proof of how the certified hours of early career talent will be on site, we find them, get them into training and house them near your sites.

This outbound talent is NOT:

  • Impacted by fake CV’s
  • Adding to your DETE work permit 50:50 rule limits
  • More fees for recruitment, permits, housing.

This outbound talent IS:

  • Optimised for gaining professional accreditation.
  • Able to show evidence of work related to the NDP.
  • Already paired to onboarding & retention assets.

Much of the outcomes of #WVH in digs for early careers has been seen in Bean an tí, for learning Gaelic for many years. We just apply Ai to scaling the scope to use the second lowest use of our existing housing stock in Europe to onboard those building more. Doing that on a not-for-profit basis and connecting it to national mobility and European mobility driven by insights learned from, public project files, permits and grid authorisations, tenders and contractor announcements, engineering registries, technical papers graduation data and corporate press releases from all over Europe is globally unique.

We don’t attract talent into our platform we engineer it. We also do more than him.

#WVH = Widens the gate, never lowers the bar!

#WholeVillageHiring™ fixes problems for all, around the level of insight, work-life integration, housing, schooling, relocation and more. However, our USP is none of these things. Our USP is that outbound hiring is able to work with a much wider scope of talent, which can solve many problems differently to the issues too often baked in, always hiring those already on the job market.

We don’t bring a new opinion; we bring real data. #WVH studied 1,000+ engineering hires at six Irish organisations (2023–26). Is the issue the availability of the talent you need, or the poor return from expensive advertising? That also locks you into many related service fees per hire.

Engineering a more balanced workforce. Three pie charts show the female share of engineering hires in Ireland from 2023-26: Semi-State 22%, Tier One 10%, Client Side 28%.

We need to engineer it - to do that you need more data!

#WVH traced over 1,000 engineering hires at six Irish organisations from 2023 to 2026 through LinkedIn, from education to hire. The six are pooled into three groups, two each: semi-states, Tier 1 contractors and client-side consultancies. Is your bid dealing with a talent shortage or a supply chain issue? Ireland’s construction and infrastructure workforce is “Scaling & MALE-ing” at pace. See where your bid can deliver the scaling, but via a workforce of all.

MetroLink’s Balanced Scorecard: what is important to us? Social, Environmental and Economic, each shown as a question mark.

MetroLink’s (ITT) documents are not public yet. #WVH has predicted what it will ask and proposes solutions to many of them.

The UK’s HS2 procurement had a total of 6% of scoring given to considerations focused on areas defined under EDI. This report details how your version of MetroLink can ensure apprentice hours on site are delivered. It also enables concrete capabilities like 35% of talent sourced being female and cost of living income for local hosts. It covers 67% of Social goals, 57% of Environmental and 100% of Economic goals.

Solving not saying.

#WVH uses the only new CO2-free housing possible for talent coming to and returning to Ireland. We also do not dilute the too-limited stock on the market, as others do. Just your visit on this site, like all the other talent we engage, is already heating nursing homes and care facilities in Amsterdam, as we are hosted on leaf.cloud. We have solutions on retention that solve problems on ensuring the workforce stays on a decade-long project that others have not even started working on.

#WVH was built by Seán Fay, a veteran recruiter and serial entrepreneur who understands the industry from the inside out. This isn’t tech built by outsiders; it’s built by a practitioner for practitioners. Seán was Dublin City’s First Disability Ambassador. He is hard-wired to see the danger of just faster AI automation for hiring, asking the critical question: Who is not in the room, but should be?

Poster for Inclusive Networks Powering Dublin, Friday 29th May 2026, 10 to 12, at ESB HQ, Dublin 2. Celebrating apprenticeship for a wider workforce and AI unlocking the potential of those on the margin. Hosted by Seán Fay, with Dublin City Council and Dublin Tech Week.
