Discover, Cultivate, Retain. Laying the foundation for your business success

How often have you encountered candidates who left you unimpressed, or recruited someone who ultimately wasn't a good fit for your organisation?


The Recruitment Team at MSS - The HR People operates on a level beyond mere recruitment services providers; we specialise in shaping the future of your organisation through a strategic, forward-thinking approach.

With today’s talent shortages, candidates are looking for more than salary expectations to be met, so our first step is to work closely with you to ensure that your organisation is the most appealing destination for top talent – one that will nurture and support their career progression.


We will then review the efficiency and productivity of your hiring process to ensure we identify candidates who not only possess the specific skills you require, but also align with your company's culture and long-term vision.


Our approach is different. Our approach gets results.


We ask questions. We delve deep into understanding your organisation and the expectations you have for the role. We challenge conventional thinking and explore unconventional avenues. When we meet prospective candidates, we uncover their motivations beyond what's on paper, seeking qualities that will align with your culture.

Our collaboration with you doesn’t have to stop once you make a hire. 


After selecting the right candidate, we can focus on facilitating a seamless onboarding experience, ensuring your new team member quickly integrates into your organisation and feels not only welcomed but also empowered to make valuable contributions from day one.


As time unfolds, we provide you and your team with a range of training opportunities, including programs like "Dignity in the Workplace" and “Conflict Resolution” that can be tailored to your specific needs. These initiatives are designed to encourage the ongoing well-being of your staff and contribute to a positive and thriving work environment.


In a world where talent is a precious commodity, our  Recruitment Team at MSS - The HR People is your strategic partner in securing and nurturing the best talent for your organisation's continued success.


When you work with us, you don't just hire the best candidate available on a particular day; you hire the best candidate for the long haul.


We believe we offer you more than just the traditional recruitment practices, and the results we deliver bear testimony to our expertise. So, if you’re looking for help with Executive Search and Selection, Outplacement or Onboarding Services, or general assistance organising Work Permits, get in touch - we’re here to help.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Probation Periods

  • Can you terminate employment in probationary period?

    Yes, if your contract of employment provides for a probation period which allows for termination, then you can terminate an employee's employment, provided they have had an opportunity to improve their perfomance if that is the issue,  upon the giving of statutory notice or notice in accordance with the contract. 

  • What does probation period mean?

    A probation period is a trial period, which allows both the employer and the employee to decide if the new role they have taken up is a good fit. 

  • Can an employer extend your probationary period?

    An employer can extend your probation period in limited circumstances. Your contract of employment must allow for this, and  it must be in the interest of the employee to do so. 

  • Do you have to give notice during a probationary period?

    Yes, notice should be provided in accordance with the Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Act 1973 upon the completion of thirteen weeks service, or notice as outlined in the contract, whichever is the greater of the two.

    No, it is prohibited under the Employment Equality Acts and the Pregnancy Directive, to terminate someones' employment on the grounds of pregnancy.

In matters of misconduct, best practice suggests that some sort of fair process and natural justice  should be applied to termination during probation.
