Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

At 3Q Recruitment, we believe in the power of people, committed and focused action and we are hard wired to make a positive impact on the communities we work with and for, through how we conduct our business and through our established Corporate Social Responsibility policies and practices.

Being informed, involved, and giving back in key communities we believe is good for our people and our people business; it builds stronger relationships within our team, with our Temps, clients, and candidates, putting our shared values into action to have a positive impact on a cause that is at the centre of that CSR activity. To us CSR in action connects us all as people

Since our establishment, 3Q Recruitment has donated over €200,000 in financial, skills, and time values to our communities and charity partners. We are proud to be a company that values people, and our team are active CSR Ambassadors for key projects that are grounded in the three pillars in our CSR policy.

Reasons why we undertake CSR

Our belief is that by doing good for and with others, we contribute to a better, kinder world.

Sustainable Practice

Our Commitment to Sustainability in Recruitment

At 3Q Recruitment, sustainability isn’t a box-ticking exercise, it’s a core part of how we recruit, operate, and support our clients. We don’t just fill shifts; we build a future-focused, people-first service model that reduces our carbon footprint, uplifts communities, and holds ourselves accountable every step of the way.

We place temps not just based on skills, but on sustainable proximity, reducing private transport and emissions by prioritising public transport links. In 2024, over half of our Dublin temps were assigned to single-leg bus or tram routes, and we’re on track to reach 60% by 2026.

Internally, we run a fully digital, paperless system. Contracts, timesheets, payroll, and invoicing are all processed electronically, cutting our paper use by 67% since 2021. But we go beyond compliance: from planting over 100 trees a year to offset historic printing, to diverting 100% of our decommissioned IT equipment from landfill through charity reuse schemes.

Sustainability is woven into onboarding, monthly campaigns, and everyday decisions, from LED lighting to cycle-to-work incentives. CSR is equally embedded. In 2024, our Spare-an-Hour campaign raised in the past couple of years, €14,600 for healthcare-linked charities, and our festive giving drives supported vulnerable patients. We also audit suppliers for ethical and environmental standards and voluntarily undergo annual financial audits.

Our practices align with our clients Green Charter, and we’ll soon launch our first carbon impact report to track our progress. Whether it’s social impact, environmental action, or ethical governance, we’re proud to show that recruitment, done right, can be a force for good.
