Dublin-based international recruitment firm Aureol Global Connections has appointed three senior figures to its leadership and client solutions teams, as the company positions itself for continued growth following 1,022 per cent compounded expansion since it was founded in November 2022.

Business Plus reported that Shaun Miley, Jackson Ford, and Michelle Rodgers have joined the business in newly created and expanded roles. The appointments follow a period of sustained growth for the firm, which specialises in sourcing skilled workers from the Philippines and the Middle East for industries across Ireland, the UK, and mainland Europe, including construction, engineering, manufacturing, automotive, logistics, marine, data centres, and semiconductors.

Shaun Miley joins as client solutions team manager, bringing more than 15 years of experience in client solutions, recruitment, account management, business development, and operational leadership. His background includes managing large-scale mechanical and electrical contracts, giving him a grounding in the practical workforce challenges facing construction and engineering businesses.

Jackson Ford joins in a business development capacity, while Michelle Rodgers takes on the role of head of operations, overseeing key operational functions including internal systems, international office coordination, and the multiple stages of recruitment, documentation, mobilisation, and candidate arrival that characterise Aureol's cross-border placement model.

Adrian McGennis, CEO of Aureol Global Connections, said the appointments reflect both the pace of the company's growth and its ambition for the next phase of international expansion. He said: "Their experience will be extremely valuable as we continue to grow our team, expand into new markets and help more businesses access the skilled people they need."

Since its founding, Aureol has placed 3,200 candidates into roles across construction, manufacturing, and engineering. The company operates testing centres in the Philippines and Dubai to evaluate candidates' technical skills and competencies before deployment, and has offices in Ireland and the UK, with placements completed across Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, and Denmark.

For HR practitioners and workforce planning teams operating in skills-scarce sectors, the Aureol model reflects a growing market reality: domestic candidate pipelines in construction, engineering, and manufacturing are insufficient to meet demand, and structured international recruitment, with end-to-end management of visas, mobilisation, and onboarding, is becoming a standard rather than an exceptional part of the talent acquisition toolkit.
