Lundi supports compliant employment in Ireland — Dublin concentrates the talent in finance, tech, and pharma. 12.5% corporate tax has historically anchored international HQ presence. For senior talent depth at scale, UK typically wins; for cost, Poland or Portugal win significantly.
Ireland concentrates English-native senior talent in Dublin — historically anchored by 12.5% corporate tax driving substantial international tech (Google, Meta, Stripe, Salesforce EU HQ), pharma, and financial services regional headquarters. Senior talent pool is high quality but materially smaller than the UK. Employer social contributions (Employer PRSI) run ~8.8–11.05% above gross — lower than most EU. Strong fit for international HQ functions, tech regional operations, and EU-financial-services roles. For broader senior talent depth Lundi typically recommends the UK; for cost-driven scaling, Poland or Portugal win significantly. For companies building teams of 10+ specifically in Ireland.
What it costs to employ someone through Lundi.
Lundi's cost is the all-in cost of the employee — gross salary plus statutory employer contributions plus customary benefits — and a Lundi management fee on top. The management fee depends on team size and scope: smaller teams pay a higher per-head rate, teams of 20+ get materially better unit economics, and Build–Operate–Transfer engagements are structured separately.
The alternative paths look like: setting up your own local entity (meaningful months of legal and accounting work, plus ongoing in-country HR, payroll, and compliance infrastructure), engaging a local recruitment agency on contingency (typically a percentage of first-year compensation, paid once, with no ongoing employment relationship), or hiring as a contractor (lower upfront cost, real misclassification risk in most jurisdictions). Lundi is faster than entity setup, structurally different from contingency recruitment, and lower-risk than contractor arrangements.
