This September marked the first time Aer Lingus attended Career Zoo and, as their director of IT applications, Ronan Fitzpatrick explains, the company are on the lookout for skilled IT jobseekers.
As Fitzpatrick explains, the perception of Aer Lingus by the general public is a company that just deals solely with organising hundreds of flights per day, but might not be aware of importance of IT within the business.
In a continuing trend for most airlines, Aer Lingus sell 80pc of their tickets online meaning a strong and efficient IT team is needed to keep its website and various technical services running at all times.
This changing of attitude is one that Ronan and the management of Aer Lingus are looking for when it comes to hiring new tech staff with the company: “We want people to think of Aer Lingus and think of a digital shamrock rather than an old shamrock and we want good people to work with our good people.”
