About the World Employment Confederation

The World Employment Confederation is the global body for recruitment Federations. Ireland (NRF) has been an active member of this Confederation for the past 20 years. The Confederations annual conference is held in a different country every year with Ireland being the proud host this year. The National Recruitment Federation (NRF) tendered in 2016 to host this event to provide for its members the opportunity to network, and learn from our global peers. The NRF in collaboration with the World Employment Confederation are bringing together a conference like Ireland has never seen before of this scale for recruiters and HR personnel. Last year it was held in France and with India, Canada, Italy, The UK and Belgium also recent hosts we are very proud to be counted amongst these countries as front runners for expertise and thought leadership in this industry. 


Beating off stiff global competition we are delighted to have the opportunity to showcase not only the recruitment Industry and how we have progressed to be a country of thought leaders in this space, but also to promote Ireland INC to the rest of the World.

Sigmar’s COVID Jobs Initiative Guides ONE in SIX Newly Unemployed in its First Three Months

Sigmar Recruitment today announces the impact of its, not for profit, COVID Response Jobs initiative three months after its launch. The online platform was set up as the COVID crisis took hold, and subsequently saw six hundred thousand people lose their jobs. It was set up to connect jobseekers with frontline jobs, offer career advisory services as well as free up-skilling opportunities for the restricted workforce, ultimately to support a more robust and effective recovery. The initiative has since seen: 83,716 jobseekers’ availed of career advisory services ranging from; video interviewing, remote working, digital collaboration, social branding, job hunting in the low-touch economy to traditional advice on interview preparation, and CV content. 10,702 availed of free online upskilling, through learning partner Alison.com. Most common courses completed were in Project Management and MS Excel. 3,010 jobseekers connected with over 200 frontline employers across retail & grocery, catering, healthcare, supply chain, production, security, and warehousing. 900+ jobs advertised over the period. 15,050 jobseekers subscribed on weekly basis for employment insights. Commenting on the initial results, founder of the initiative and Sigmar CCO Robert Mac Giolla Phádraig said; “ We’ve been overwhelmed by the level of engagement amongst jobseekers coming to the site, particularly the quantum availing of the career advisory services, which have been tailor-made to support the remote job search in the current environment. Recruitment has changed significantly in recent months and how jobseekers compete is now very different from what it was. Our career advisory service has helped jobseekers articulate competencies and achievements through a digital recruitment process for a lower touch economy.” “In addition, we are delighted to have supported over 200 frontline employers in a meaningful way and in turn help keep the national infrastructure up and running.” Commenting on the take up of upskilling, Mac Giolla Phádraig added; “We had 10,702 people take up free learning pathways through our partner Alison.com, in subjects such as Project Management, MS Excel, Web development, Data Science, GDPR, Accounting and many more. In addition to skills training, the learning content has been COVID curated for maximum impact across Business Skills, IT Skills, Mental Health, and Personal Development. Thanking partners of the initiative, Mac Giolla Phádraig commented; “When times were at their worst, our partners were at their best.
