A national body which accredits best-in-class Irish businesses as Business All-Stars has awarded a local company for a second consecutive year.

The HR Buddy, formerly known as Killarney HR & Payroll, has been recognised for their conduct in the areas of trust, commitment, performance and customer centricity.

The Business All-Star Accreditation is an independently verified standard mark for indigenous businesses, based on rigorous selection criteria. The accreditation is overseen by the prestigious All-Ireland Business Foundation, whose adjudication panel is chaired by Dr Briga Hynes of the Kemmy Business School at the University of Limerick and Kieran Ring, CEO of the Global Institute of Logistics.

HR Buddy was established in 2017 and originally focused on HR consultancy and Bookkeeping including outsourced payroll services for small and medium sized business owners.

The client base has since grown rapidly focusing on the HR consultancy & Payroll outsourcing service with online and remote offerings. Earlier this year the business rebranded to HR Buddy.

“HR Buddy is honoured to achieve this accreditation from the All-Ireland Business foundation for the second year in a row,” HR Buddy Founder & CEO Damien McCarthy said.

“The process of allowing our HR consultancy business to be audited by an external foundation that upholds the highest standards and pillars of trust, performance and customer centricity is a commitment from HR Buddy to our clients and the SME sector that we serve as outsourced HR professionals. We look forward to continuing that commitment to our customers into the future as our ever expanding nationwide client-list grows.”
