HR Assistant | Employee Onboarding, HRIS Records & Employment Compliance
Carrick Logistics Ireland
Dear Hiring Team,
I am writing to express my interest in the HR Assistant position at Carrick Logistics Ireland. Having supported human resources administration across commercial and logistics operations in Dublin, I am keen to contribute my background in HRIS record maintenance, onboarding coordination, and Irish employment compliance to your team.
In my current role at Tarsan Logistics Ireland, I administer core HR records and leave tracking for 320 logistics and office staff using Workday, maintaining complete data accuracy. My responsibilities include coordinating end-to-end new hire onboarding, issuing contracts, verifying Right to Work documentation, and organizing cross-department induction schedules. I also serve as the primary contact for staff queries regarding company leave policies, sick pay schemes, and standard workplace procedures, while preparing monthly headcount, absenteeism, and turnover reports for HR leadership.
During my time with Tarsan Logistics Ireland, I also carried out the Digital HR Records and Onboarding Streamlining Project, migrating 280 active employee paper files to digital personnel profiles within Workday and establishing standardized GDPR access permissions. Through this work, I drafted an updated onboarding checklist that shortened document processing time for operational hires by two working days. Together with my previous experience processing payroll change forms for 210 employees at Clonmel Global Solutions and my CIPD Level 5 Associate Diploma in People Management, this background enables me to deliver dependable administrative support immediately.
I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my administrative experience and familiarity with logistics operations can support the HR team at Carrick Logistics Ireland. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Declan Walsh
