O’Toole Transport is looking for a Recruitment \& HR Manager to join our team, with a particular focus on driver recruitment, onboarding and HR administration.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can take ownership of the full new-starter process — from identifying and organising potential drivers for assessment through to ensuring they are fully set up and ready to work.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage driver recruitment, applications and organise driving assessments.
• Coordinate the full new starter and onboarding process.
• Ensure new starter forms, employee records and contracts are completed and maintained correctly.
• Issue and manage PPE and driver phones.
• Set new drivers up across company systems including Hexnode, Telegram, Transics and Move It.
• Ensure drivers completing induction are fully set up and ready to commence work.
• Manage leavers, ensuring access is removed from all relevant systems.
• Maintain and clean up employee/driver records across company systems.
• Manage Core HR / eDays and general HR administration.
• Work closely with the operations teams in both Galway and Dublin to identify recruitment requirements.

About You

We are looking for someone who is:

• Highly organised and able to manage multiple new starters at once.
• Comfortable working with different IT and HR systems.
• Proactive and willing to take ownership rather than wait for instruction.
• Confident dealing with drivers and operational teams.
• Experienced in recruitment, HR administration or a similar people-focused role.
• Happy to be based primarily in Galway and travel to Dublin approximately two days per week.

Experience within transport, logistics or high-volume recruitment would be a strong advantage.
