Two US companies set to create up to 500 jobs in Dublin

A US company that operates call centres around the world, Stream Global Services, is set for a major expansion of its existing Irish base, which will result in up to 400 new jobs for Dublin.

In a good day for job announcements, Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Innovation Batt O’Keeffe also confirmed another US firm, Spencer Stuart, will create 100 jobs in the capital from the establishment of its new operation in Ireland.

Stream Global Services is expanding its Irish services after winning a contract from Microsoft to provide customer support for users of its Xbox 360 games console in Europe which will generate annual revenue of over €40 million a year.
