David Ward, Managing Director, Ward Personnel

Ward Personnel Background

Award winning recruitment agency Ward Personnel, with offices in Dublin, Cork and Athlone in Ireland, and now also in Lublin in Poland, is led by its founder and Managing Director, David Ward. Since its establishment in 2010 the company has expanded year on year and is now recognised as one of Ireland’s leading recruitment services providers in the Construction and International Sourcing sectors.

David has over twenty years of experience in recruitment and has led the development of the Ward Personnel team – the company now has a team of thirty employees servicing all corners of the country.

The company has earned a reputation within the industry as being customer-driven, compliant and hard-working, with a relentless focus on quality and on-site delivery, both for our clients and our candidates. This has resulted in our customer base expanding to include the majority of Ireland’s leading construction and civil engineering companies.

International Candidate Search

Having recognised a shortage in the availability of certain construction and industrial trades and skills, Ward Personnel has developed a niche in successfully sourcing and supplying high quality international candidates for our Irish clients. With our candidate-focused approach, we have ensured that the transition of these skilled workers from abroad into Irish companies and communities, has been highly successful and this in turn has led to the creation and subsequent growth of our International Sourcing Division. In November 2021, we opened an office in Lublin, Poland to better enable us to source quality candidates for our client sites in Ireland and Western Europe.

We believe in continuous improvement across all aspects of the business and our core mission is to enhance the customer experience on a day-to day-basis and in turn make Ward Personnel the recruiter of choice for our customers, candidates, and staff.

Mission Statement

The team at Ward Personnel has a relentless passion for customer service that drives our performance on a daily basis – it informs everything that we do and every decision we make. Our fundamental belief is that every client and candidate engagement be given the maximum care and attention by the team at Ward Personnel, to ensure a successful outcome for all parties. This culture drives all of our activities and underpins our aim to become the recruiter of choice for the construction and international sourcing sectors in Ireland.
