If you are not an EU, EEA, Swiss or UK citizen, you usually need an employment permit to work in Ireland, and the employer you join is part of that. The Department publishes how many permits it issued to each company. This list is that register: 2025 in full, and 2026 for January to September 2026.
What it does not mean. A company on this list has sponsored permits, not that every role it advertises will. Permits are tied to particular jobs, salaries and occupations, the count includes renewals as well as new hires, and a large employer can sponsor in one team and not another. Treat it as a list of companies that know the process, then check the job itself.

For employers
Our job collector, VantaWorkspaceJobs, reads the public jobs on your careers site once a night, as your robots.txt allows, and no faster than one request a second. Our public pages show only the facts of each job (its title, place, dates, and salary if you state one) and link to your own site to apply. We keep the advert's text privately, so a signed in user who saves the job can tailor a CV to it; it is never shown on a public page. To have your jobs taken off, email dylan@vanta-coach.com.
