3D Personnel Limited is a leading name in construction recruitment for Ireland, the UK, and Europe. We supply Trades & Labour and Professional & Technical staff in the construction sector, and Multi-Sector talent to our clients. We pride ourselves in placing high quality candidates in temporary, fixed term and permanent roles.
As 3D Personnel employs more than 250 employees, we are required under The Gender Pay Gap Information Act 2021 to publish our 2025 Gender Pay Gap Report. Please note our report relates to 3D Personnel Ireland only.
In the interests of transparency, we have divided our report into two divisions:
- Permanent Staff
- Temporary Staff
Percentage of Men v Women
As at the 30th June 2025, the percentage of men v women for the two divisions was recorded as follows:
This can be further analysed as follows:

Conclusion
3D Personnel is an equal opportunity employer. As of the 30th of June 2025, the female headcount of our permanent staff increased by 1.19% from 23.81% to 25.00%.
The median and mean pay and bonus pay gaps for permanent staff is not a true reflection, as the calculation considers a greater number of male staff employed compared to female staff employed and the split of female staff over the various quartiles.
If we compare the mean pay and bonus pay gaps to our 2024 results, the gap has almost reduced to zero, pay -11.34% (2024) to -0.16% (2025) and the bonus pay gap -11.44% (2024) to -0.21% (2025). The median pay and bonus pay gap has also reduced, pay 13.16% (2024) to 10.75% (2025) and bonus 13.01% (2024) to 10.77% (2025).
The provision of temporary labour to the construction industry is our core business, which is a predominantly male industry. This can be clearly seen from the statistics above relating to temporary staff.
The construction industry recognises the need for more women in the industry, from working on building sites to participation at board level. Salaries for the majority of our temporary workers are regulated by the Sectoral Employment Order (Construction Sector) 2024. Male and female workers are paid the same hourly rate for the same category of employment.
3D Personnel will continue to strive to reduce the gap between the number of men to women employed in all divisions of its business.
