Professional job opportunities rise 46%

DEVELOPERS, agri-food and fund administration staff are all in high demand in Ireland as figures show, as overall professional job opportunities increased 46% in the last quarter.

Recruitment agency Morgan McKinley said that in niche areas of the market, acute candidate shortages are being felt.

It said it is very difficult to find suitable professionals for IT development roles and the recruitment process can be protracted as top-tier job seekers in this sector are often “spoilt for choice”.
