Offaly-founded Allpro Group seeks to create 30 jobs through expansion

An Offaly-founded human capital solutions company has announced plans to create 30 jobs over the next three years as it continues to expand across Ireland and the Middle East.

Allpro People Group, which grew from Allpro Recruitment, founded in Tullamore by Blueball native David Gleeson, has confirmed the acquisition of Eos Talent, a specialist HR recruitment and talent advisory consultancy founded by recruiter Emma Anglim.

In a press release issued this morning (July 21), the group said the announcement marks 'a significant growth story for the midlands', adding that it shows how a company founded in Tullamore has 'developed into a wider human capital group serving clients across Ireland, Europe and the Middle East'.

The group currently includes Allpro Recruitment, Zylo Talent, Carter Finch, Accom Assist, HRconsultants.ie and now Eos Talent.

The 30 new roles will be created across the wider group over the next three years as Allpro scales its services across Ireland and the Middle East, the statement said.

David Gleeson, founder of Allpro, said: “Allpro started in Tullamore, and our Midlands roots remain a very important part of who we are. This announcement is a proud milestone for the group and shows that businesses based in the region can grow, create jobs and compete internationally.

Our focus is on bringing together specialist businesses that create long-term value for clients, candidates and our teams. Employers increasingly need joined-up support across recruitment, HR, workforce planning, executive search and people advisory, and that is what we are building.”

Eos Talent works with organisations across HR leadership appointments, permanent HR recruitment, interim and project-based HR talent, confidential and sensitive searches, and talent advisory.

Gareth Fleming, CEO of Allpro People Group, said the acquisition reflects the group’s strategy of bringing specialist, high-quality businesses together under one human capital platform.

“We will only bring value-add businesses into Allpro People Group, and Eos Talent is a clear example of that,” he said.

Emma Anglim, Founder and Managing Director of Eos Talent, said: “Eos Talent has always been focused on quality, delivery and long-term partnerships. Joining Allpro People Group allows us to continue that work with greater scale and support, while maintaining the specialist, human-centred approach our clients and candidates expect.”

With the addition of Eos Talent, the group says it is strengthening its ability to support organisations 'across the full human capital lifecycle, from hiring and workforce planning to HR advisory, executive search, people infrastructure and specialist HR recruitment'.
