If a new job is one of your goals for 2021, there are lots of opportunities around the country that are worth considering.
Just this week, logistics firm CH Robinson said it will be hiring for 30 people at a new tech hub in Cork. Sports-tech company Orreco also announced recruitment plans for Galway and Indigo Telecom is set to fill a number of remote roles at its Limerick-based subsidiary 4Site. Financial software firm Glantus will be hiring too, with 15 jobs opening up at its new sales and marketing hub in Newry.
If none of these catch your eye, however, check out our list of 35 companies that are either already hiring or have announced plans to recruit this year.
It includes Accenture, Intel, Patreon and more, and features roles in a variety of areas, from biopharma and data science to microbiology and software engineering.

No matter the job you’re in or thinking of pursuing, working life could soon be transformed for the better. The Government published its strategy for remote working earlier this month, and now MEPs have also voted in favour of establishing a right to disconnect across the EU.
