Michelle Nolan, Account Manager, joined July 2019.

I joined ManpowerGroup just under 3 years ago. Joining Manpower with a HR background, I have had the opportunity not only to expand on my HR knowledge but to also gained fantastic exposure in other areas such as operations and team Management. I have found Manpower to be supportive of my career goals, friendly, approachable and professional. I enjoy working for ManpowerGroup and would highly recommend to any friends or colleagues.

 

Breda Connell, HR Team Lead, Joined April 2019

I am just under 3 years working with Manpower Group and throughout that time I have received great exposure to the vast world of HR.  I have been provided with the opportunity to grow and develop within the company and the support and encouragement I have received from my colleagues and the business as a whole has been amazing.  Joining Manpower has given me the opportunity to work with some amazing people globally and I look forward to expanding my network and continuing to grow within the company.  I would highly recommend ManpowerGroup as a fantastic place to work.

 

Paul Howard, Marketing Manager, Joined February 2020

“I joined ManpowerGroup Ireland just before the great Covid lockdown of 2020. Luckily enough I had a few weeks to get to know many of my colleagues before the remote working arrangements kicked in. In my time at ManpowerGroup I have found the company to be very friendly, professional, engaging and rewarding. The business operates at both a local and global scale which means the workflow is varied and thought provoking. The business have very good staff friendly initiatives such as wellness days, additional leave for years of service, wellness initiatives, etc. Also the role involves cross department engagement with colleagues which is always great as it gives different perspectives on everyday tasks. I would highly recommend ManpowerGroup to any colleagues interested in a role in professional services”.
