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 we are currently expanding our Multi-Sector division. 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 2024 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
As we had no part-time staff for the period under review, this section is no longer relevant.
Percentage of Men v Women
As at the 30th June 2024, the percentage of men v women for the two divisions was recorded as follows:
This can be further analysed as follows:
Permanent Staff
Gender | Lower | Middle | Upper Middle | Upper |
Female Headcount | 40.00% | 20.00% | 16.67% | 20.00% |
Male Headcount | 60.00% | 80.00% | 83.33% | 80.00% |
The female headcount in the lower quartile has increased from 33.33% to 40% and the upper quartile from 16.67% to 20%, however the female headcount in the upper middle quartile has reduced from 28.57% to 16.67%. The middle quartile remained the same.
Temporary Staff
Gender | Lower | Middle | Upper Middle | Upper |
Female Headcount | 6.90% | 0.00% | 0.85% | 0.00% |
Male Headcount | 93.10% | 100.00% | 99.15% | 100.00% |

Conclusion
3D Personnel is an equal opportunity employer. As of the 30th of June 2024, the female headcount of our permanent staff remained the same, however the percentage of total permanent staff increased from 20% to 23.8%. The mean pay gap and bonus pay gap for permanent staff is not a true reflection, as the calculation takes into account a greater number of male staff employed compared to female staff employed and the split of female staff over the four quartiles.
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 for 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) 2023. 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.
