What IHR does

IHR Recruitment Consultancy Pvt Ltd is a private, founder-led international recruitment and visa consultancy specializing in healthcare professional mobility. The firm primarily serves nurses and allied healthcare professionals sourced largely from India and placed with employers in Ireland, the UK, the GCC (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait), Australia, Germany, and other European countries. Its core service lines are global healthcare recruitment, end-to-end visa processing (work, dependent, visit, Schengen, business, transit, settlement/PR, switching and extensions), and nursing registration assistance across multiple regulatory bodies (NMBI, NMC, HCPC, CORU, AHPRA, CGFNS, and GCC licensing exams such as DHA, HAAD, and Prometric). Two branded extensions diversify the offering: the Servisource RCSI Aptitude Test training academy (priced at INR 14,200 per candidate, delivered via 12 online ZOOM sessions) and the IHR Educate Beyond overseas education placement program, supported by a partnership with Donegal English Language School.

The business operates on a professional-services revenue model, earning placement fees from healthcare employers and consultancy fees from individual visa and education clients. Services are delivered via five physical offices in Kochi (India), Dublin (Ireland), London (UK), Dubai (UAE), and Australia, supplemented by website-driven inbound inquiry and digital marketing across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. The firm is a preferred supplier to Ireland's Health Service Executive (HSE) and places candidates with named Irish private hospitals including Vincent's University Hospital, Blackrock Clinic, Bon Secours, Kingsbridge, and Mater. There is no proprietary technology platform; workflows are human-led via phone, WhatsApp, ZOOM, email, and in-person consultation, with 11-50 employees and 25+ years of operating history.

Revenue is generated through per-placement recruitment fees, visa consultancy fees, nursing registration advisory fees, exam-training tuition, and ancillary services such as flight booking. Pricing is largely quote-based and varies by destination, visa type, and scope, with only the RCSI training product having a publicly listed price. The firm has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no public ticker; ownership is founder- and management-led. No AI/ML, API, or proprietary software capabilities are referenced in available materials.
