Technology firm to create 150 jobs

A technology firm is to create 150 jobs over the next three years.

Qualtrics, which analyses business data to help companies focus on what customers want, has opened its European headquarters in Dublin.

Fifty jobs will created over the next year and another 100 are expected over the following two years.

Qualtrics was co-founded by chief executive Ryan Smith in 2002 and it now works with big brands in every major industry, experiencing triple-digit growth last year.

It is recruiting graduates with a background in science, business and mathematics for a variety of roles in its European headquarters, including sales, support and technical talent.
