Relocation Services Dublin: How to Support Junior Staff Without Breaking the Budget

Introduction 

As businesses expand across cities like Dublin, London, or Amsterdam, relocating junior staff has become a growing operational challenge. While many companies invest in comprehensive relocation packages for senior executives, the majority of younger hires are left to navigate the rental market alone—often remotely, and without support.

This growing gap is particularly evident in high-demand markets like Dublin, where housing is expensive, supply is tight, and rental scams are widespread. For HR teams, the question isn’t whether to offer relocation support—it’s how to do so affordably, effectively, and at scale.

This blog explores how HR and mobility leaders can offer cost-conscious relocation services to junior or early-career staff—without resorting to expensive full-service relocation agents.

Why Junior Staff Still Need Relocation Support

Contrary to assumption, junior staff face just as many housing hurdles as senior ones—if not more. Younger employees are more likely to relocate without family support, local knowledge, or experience managing rental negotiations.

For international hires, this challenge is amplified:

• Difficulty securing housing remotely
• No access to local references or guarantors
• High risk of being targeted by rental scams
• Limited understanding of local tenancy laws

Without guidance, even high-potential hires can experience a poor relocation journey—leading to onboarding delays, early attrition, and poor employer branding.

The Problem with Full-Service Relocation Packages

Traditional corporate relocation agents offer end-to-end services—visas, removals, school searches, etc.—but these are typically designed (and priced) for senior-level hires.

For junior or mid-level employees, these packages are:

• Too expensive to offer at scale
• Too comprehensive for the actual need
• Too rigid for modern, mobile-first workers

Companies are increasingly realising that what younger staff really need is housing-first support—a way to safely, quickly, and confidently secure accommodation in a new city.

A Smarter Solution: Housing-Focused Relocation Services

PropSupport was built to meet this exact need. Instead of offering costly all-in-one relocation services, we provide targeted housing solutions tailored for early-career hires.

Our relocation services are ideal for companies hiring in cities like Dublin, where local rental challenges often overwhelm newcomers. We help employees secure safe, verified housing—while allowing HR teams to contain costs and scale support efficiently.

Key services include:

• Guided housing search & shortlisting
• Scam prevention tools and training
• Area orientation and rental documentation review
• Lease preparation and negotiation support
• Flexible self-service options for confident renters

Benefits for Employers

Offering structured relocation support—without committing to full-service relocation agent fees—comes with several benefits for businesses:

1. Reduced Risk of Failed Relocations
   Housing insecurity is one of the top reasons new hires abandon roles early. By supporting accommodation from the start, you increase retention and job satisfaction.
2. Lower Relocation Costs
   Instead of spending €5,000–€10,000 per person on full-service agents, PropSupport enables scalable solutions at a fraction of the cost.
3. Improved Employer Brand
   Young employees view housing support as a meaningful benefit. Offering even light-touch relocation assistance positions your organisation as supportive and employee-focused.
4. Customisable by Region or Role
   Support can be offered selectively depending on job level, location, or department. For example, junior hires relocating to Dublin might get guided support, while internal movers within the EU may use self-service tools.

Choosing the Right Support Level

At PropSupport, we offer a flexible range of services to match the level of support each employee needs. Here’s how you might approach it:

For interns or graduates, our self-service toolkit is a great starting point. It includes access to checklists, area guides, sample contracts, and scam prevention alerts—empowering them to manage their own search confidently.

Entry-level hires often benefit from a guided housing support package. This includes one-on-one consultation, help identifying suitable neighbourhoods, and shortlisting rental options to speed up the process and avoid wasted effort.

Mid-level professionals may require full housing search support—including active property sourcing, landlord contact, and lease review. This ensures their transition is smooth and time-efficient.

For remote relocations, such as international hires arriving in Dublin or other major cities, a combined digital and local orientation package is ideal. This may involve in-person walkthroughs, accompanied viewings, and local market briefings.

Companies hiring frequently across multiple cities may also benefit from a blended support model, allowing HR to offer the right level of service based on job role, location, or urgency.

Dublin as a Case Study: Why It Still Matters

While PropSupport operates across markets, Dublin remains a critical case study for how broken the rental market has become. The city regularly ranks among the most expensive in Europe for renters, with vacancy rates under 1%.

Without local expertise and structured support, employees arriving in Dublin face serious challenges—from long application queues to fraud risks. Our Dublin-based team ensures that employers hiring in Ireland have access to reliable, cost-effective solutions that reduce risk while enhancing employee experience.

And importantly, our solutions can be replicated in other high-pressure cities across Europe and beyond.
