Why now is a good time to look for an IT job in Dublin and Ireland

The UK decision to leave the European Union in the recent Brexit vote rocked the business world in Ireland. Whilst nothing is settled yet there will definitely be good and bad knock on effects for all industry in Ireland including ITcompanies. IT companies have been one of the mainstay industries and employers in Ireland and particularly Dublin over the last decade. With Brexit more could choose to locate in Dublin as Ireland becomes the only English speaking country in the single market, already some new IT companies are choosing to relocate to Dublin.

The growth of multinational IT companies in Dublin has led to many EU nationals moving to Ireland to take up positions in IT Solutions providers ranging from Microsoft to Dell and Oracle and the many indigenous IT companies that have seen significant growth and remained steady despite the recent downturn in Ireland. Now many EU nationals based in the UK are considering a move to Ireland as the UK’s departure from the EU may affect their working rights. 

Despite Brexit Ireland has long been an attractive market for IT workers due to the large number of IT companies that have chosen to settle here. IT Solutions employees get access to a wide pool of skills and a varied career path. In return the IT companies particular those that are Internet based such as Amazon, Paypal and Ebay get access to a skilled workforce with many of them having European languages as their first language. This makes them perfect candidates for a pan European based support role for example. 

It’s not only Dublin that has seen an increase in IT companies. More recently Galway and Limerick are seeing an influx of IT Solutions providers choosing to settle there. The coming decade looks set to be a profitable and prosperous one for IT companies and the IT solutions workforce in Ireland.
