This week at Siliconrepublic.com, we encountered a very busy job market, as thousands of new roles across a variety of sectors were announced.
It’s a great time to be job-hunting with lots of exciting new start-up and tech jobs up for grabs – and if you’re feeling ‘energetic’ Bord na Móna is hiring too.
Semi-state climate solutions company Bord na Móna is to create thousands of jobs over the next five years as part of its plan to further its green strategy, which will see the company develop renewable energy, recycling infrastructure and carbon storage through peatland rehabilitation.
The 1,435 jobs will mostly be based in the midlands, with 335 of the positions to be created through partnerships with third-party companies. 300 of the roles will be in construction with the rest being in tech and professional services.
Continuing on the energy theme, four Cork start-ups which have emerged from UCC’s Ignite incubation programme are hiring.
Trustap, Ecanvasser, LegitFit and Peckish are advertising sales, marketing, business development, software and customer service jobs.
And, if you’re an employer reading this for tips, you might want to take a look at a guest post by Ben Butler of Evervault, in which he discusses the recruitment lessons big companies can learn from start-ups.
For anyone on the lookout for a new job in the medtech industry, this week has yielded good news.
