GLOBAL Edge is a specialist recruitment and employment permit agency dedicated to supporting horse trainers and stud farms in finding experienced and dependable work riders, stable staff, and other essential personnel.

We understand the unique demands of the equine world and provide a professional, hassle-free recruitment solution - allowing trainers and stud farms to focus on running their operations while we take care of staffing.

Global network

With a strong global network, we have access to a wide pool of talent, many of whom have worked at top facilities around the world. Whether you need candidates for flat racing, National Hunt, Irish Point-to-Point, breaking and pre-training, or long-term additions to your team, we can help.

Based in Dublin, our dedicated consultant is constantly on the road, meeting clients face-to-face and building strong, lasting connections. We believe that personal relationships are key to understanding the specific needs of each trainer or stud farm, which is why we prioritise in-person visits whenever possible. This hands-on approach enables us to deliver tailored recruitment solutions and stay closely connected to the heart of the industry.

What sets us apart is our deep understanding of the equine industry and our proactive, personalised service. We don’t just match CVs to job descriptions - we take the time to understand each yard or farm’s unique environment and culture. This ensures we place candidates who are not only well-qualified but also the right fit for the team.

Streamlined approach

A key advantage of working with Global Edge is that we manage the entire recruitment and employment permit application process in-house. This differentiates us from other agencies and enables us to offer a seamless, end-to-end service.

By handling permits internally, we eliminate delays and reduce the administrative burden on employers. Our experienced team is fully versed in employment permit and visa requirements, ensuring all documentation is completed accurately and efficiently - helping international staff get to work as quickly as possible. This streamlined approach saves valuable time and provides peace of mind that everything is handled by experts under one roof.

In addition to recruitment and permit processing, we also support our clients with local setup and full staff relocation - another unique advantage we proudly offer.

From arranging accommodation and transport to assisting new hires in settling into their local communities, we take care of the practicalities that ensure a smooth and stress-free transition. This level of support helps staff feel welcomed and ready to contribute from day one.

At Global Edge, our mission is simple: to connect great people with great opportunities in the horse industry. Whether you’re a trainer seeking reliable staff or a stud farm in need of experienced candidates, we’re here to help.
