Irish tech roles now command salaries that compete with and often exceed those in other key global economies and tech markets.
Recruitment and HR platform Hays, in partnership with Horsefly, has released data that shows Ireland is a top-tier destination for tech professionals. Hays collected data from 34 countries and almost 10,000 technology professionals globally, to investigate the costs, availability, plans, desires and skills priorities of IT and tech professionals.
The data shows that Irish tech roles now command salaries that can compete with and in some cases exceed those in other key global economies and tech markets, reinforcing the country’s position as a crucial destination for skilled professionals.
The Hays Tech Talent Explorer found that while much of the global conversation is focused on AI and the impact of job displacement, a key element is in how artificial intelligence is reshaping technology roles. Particularly as routine and administrative tasks become increasingly automated and professionals can focus on complex, high-impact work.
Hays suggested, in Ireland this shift is largely contributing to continued salary growth as there is an increased demand for professionals with a diverse skillset, in areas such as technical expertise, critical thinking, creativity and decision-making skills.
