Twitter to double Irish staff to 200

Two years after Twitter’s European head quarters started with a single employee the company has announced that it is to take on a further 100.

The company’s workforce will have doubled to 200 by the end of 2014 as its European HQ expands with new staff taken on in sales, human resources, finance, marketing, engineering and user services.

Twitter’s managing director in Ireland, Stephen McIntyre, said that it provides a real opportunity for anybody who wants to take part in a growth story.
