For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), finding the right people can be one of the most significant challenges to growth. Limited internal resources, tight timelines, and increased competition for skilled talent can make recruitment feel like a daunting task. That’s where Staffline Recruitment Ireland comes in.

As one of Ireland’s leading recruitment partners, Staffline works with SMEs across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, providing tailored hiring support that helps business owners attract, recruit, and retain the right people, no matter the industry.

We’re proud that our CEO, Tina McKenzie MBE, is also the Policy and Advocacy Chair for the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) at in the UK. Her role ensures that the needs and concerns of SMEs are heard at the highest levels of government, while reinforcing Staffline’s commitment to championing small businesses through both advocacy and action.

A man and woman are standing together in a bright, modern hallway with floor-to-ceiling windows. Both are smiling and engaged in conversation as they look at a notepad the woman is holding. The man is wearing glasses, a light grey blazer, and a pale blue shirt, with his arms casually crossed. The woman is dressed in a dark blazer over a white blouse and is pointing at something on the notepad. The atmosphere is collaborative and positive, with natural daylight streaming through the windows and reflecting a professional yet relaxed work environment.

Why SME Recruitment Needs a Different Approach

Unlike larger corporations, SMEs often don’t have in-house HR teams or recruitment departments. Time is limited, and every hire matters. A poor recruitment decision can have a noticeable impact on productivity, culture, and customer satisfaction.

Staffline understands these pressures. With our 11 branches and onsite teams throughout the island of Ireland, we provide local recruitment expertise with national reach, supporting SMEs with access to pre-vetted candidates, flexible hiring models, and industry-specific insights that make a real difference.

She holds a digital tablet in one hand and a pen in the other, appearing focused and engaged while looking at her laptop screen. A wooden gavel, legal scale, and envelope are placed on the desk, indicating a legal or judicial setting. The background features shelves with files and documents, reinforcing the formal and structured nature of the workspace. The scene conveys a sense of professionalism, concentration, and informed decision-making.
