Our story

Karo is the place for nurses and carers to find shifts in Healthcare Organisations around Ireland. We are making it simple to fill shifts, building everything we do on the need for quality, choice and transparency in care.

One purpose brings us together: to provide everyone with the care and dignity that they deserve.

We launched Karo to bring quality, choice and transparency to staffing Healthcare Organisations in Ireland.
