Title How Ireland’s ‘great reshuffle’ could benefit women and older workers Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet The Conversation Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 14/12/22 Description Prior to recent tech job cuts, continued employment growth from multinational firms has left home-grown tech companies – and many other sectors – with record job vacancies. Indeed, the head of industry body Technology Ireland pointed out recently that indigenous firms have “found it challenging to hire at pace over the last two years”.
Ireland hit a record high for job vacancies right across the economy this year. This means there could be a silver lining to recent layoffs by global tech giants, particularly if locally based talent is freed up for indigenous tech firms. It could also create opportunities for employees that are currently underrepresented in the workforce such as women and older people.Producer/Author The Conversation Persons Maeve O'Sullivan
