IKEA set to launch recruitment drive

HOME furnishings retailer IKEA will launch the first phase of its recruitment campaign for its Dublin store at the end of March with the announcement of more than 40 management positions.

When complete, the store will directly employ more than 500 people with a further 100 jobs being created in outsourced services.

The company said local employment partnerships with Ballymun Regeneration Ltd and Ballymun Partnership will be put in place to ensure that co-workers can be drawn as much as possible from areas adjacent to the store’s location throughout the campaign.
