Fix the CV first

A CV in the wrong format is the most common reason strong people are filtered out before anyone reads their experience.

Know the market before you apply

Where the sponsorship sits, what the roles actually pay and what is left in your bank account each month.

Permits and visas, explained plainly

Written for candidates, not lawyers. What each route needs, what it costs and how long it really takes.

Your sector

Who hires internationally, what pays and how to position yourself in each field.

Learn the modern job search

How hiring actually works now, from ATS filters and LinkedIn search to interviews and career changes.

The one free thing no PDF can give you

Twenty minutes with a HULA coach. We look at where you are, what your profile is up against and what to fix first. No pitch, no pressure — many people take the call and simply get on with it, and that is a good outcome.

  • We read your CV before the call
  • You leave with a written next step
  • No payment details, ever

Coaching programmes are paid and start at €350, only if you decide to work with us.

Questions people ask before using them

Straight answers, no fine print.

Is everything on this page really free?+

Yes. The CV analysis, templates, checklist, ebook, sponsor database, salary guides, calculators, guides and the discovery call all cost nothing. No card is ever requested.

Do I have to give my email to use them?+

The CV analysis, CV templates, sponsor database, calculators and guides work without an email. The checklist and the ebook are sent as files, so those two ask for an address. Marketing emails are always a separate, unticked choice.

Which should I use first if I am moving to Ireland?+

Run the free CV analysis, work through the 40-point checklist, then search the sponsor database for employers in your sector. Read the work permit hub before you apply so you know which route your role falls under.

Do the companies in the sponsor database guarantee sponsorship?+

No. The database shows employers that have successfully sponsored permits before, which means they know the process and are far more likely to do it again. It is not a promise that any one of them will sponsor you.

Does the free consultation call cost anything?+

No. The discovery call is free and there is no obligation. If you decide you want to work with us, coaching programmes are paid and start at €350 depending on the package.

Can I use all of this from outside Europe?+

Yes. Most people using these resources are applying from India, Brazil, Pakistan, Nigeria, the Middle East and elsewhere. Nothing requires you to be in Europe already.
