    Dear all,
    Im new to Ireland, and have difficulties with Recruiment agencies.
    My work experience as Site Manager, and it was with very prestigous groups (huge companies) in construction based in Middle East.
    In fact, i have master degree in civil Engineering .
    but when i met recruiment consultants, many of them said that we cant pass your CV to construction companies or irish companies need their staff from irish only, or you dont have UK /IR experience .
    Is this racism and is it my right to complaint to and make a case in courts..? or is it Employer right to take what ever they want ? ..

    The building regulations and structural set up of construction in Ireland is different. It's transferable but you won't be able just to walk into a role without some transition.

    Yes but i have worked as Construction manager
    and Site manager is lower than mine and i even looking for jonior site manager .
    as for site Engineer, i can work but need refereshing my survey skills through training by the company .
    The recuitment consultant said i have alot of jobs but non of them are suitable for you as they are for IRISH only . Even he has jobs abroad in my origin country and denied to offer me interview with the construction company because as he said irish ppl need only irish workers (the company is irish )

    Well yes that is discrimination. On the basis of race.

    Is it in writing?
