Cork tech firms target Dublin talent

Cork-based companies could alleviate recruitment difficulties by targeting employees of some of the world’s largest tech companies, according to one business leader.

A host of multinationals operating in Dublin, such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Google, employ thousands of highly skilled workers, some of whom could be tempted south by the dual incentive of equally high-quality jobs coupled with a different way of life.

Speaking to the Irish Examiner, SolarWinds senior vice-president of finance and operations David Owens said employees who may not originally be from Dublin or those looking for a different lifestyle may be interested in a new challenge in Cork.
