Leading the way on a European level, Ireland’s workforce has transitioned to hybrid working at a greater rate than any other country in the EU.

The fight to return workers to the office seems to be far from over with new data published by jobs posting website Indeed showing the share of remote or hybrid jobs in Ireland has reached a record high.

The platform’s 2025 Irish Jobs and Hiring Trends Report shows the share of Irish postings mentioning remote or hybrid work rose to 17.5% at the end of December 2024, a level that is more than four times that recorded prior to the covid pandemic.
