I am delighted to be opening Qualtrics' European HQ here in Dublin. The decision of this dynamic and rapidly growing company to establish operations in Ireland is another vote of confidence in the country's strengths as a location for investment and jobs - our people, our pro-business environment and our proximity to European markets.
Welcoming the investment Jobs Minister Richard Bruton:
Technology is a key target of the Government’s Action Plan for Jobs, and in recent years we have seen significant jobs growth in this area. Today’s announcement that Qualtrics, a company at the cutting edge of its sector, is creating 150 jobs in the coming years is a further great boost for technology in Ireland.
The company is actively recruiting graduates from the science, business and mathematics disciplines for a variety of roles in its European Headquarters including sales, support and technical talent.
Ryan Smith, CEO of Qualtrics said:
We’re seeing tremendous demand for our technology in EMEA, and Ireland provides us with the perfect entry point to Europe, and from which to expand internationally. Dublin offers significant opportunity in terms of the available talent and resources needed to grow our business. Additionally, through our relationship with IDA Ireland, within a matter of weeks, we were able to very quickly move from initial discussions to full-scale operational implementation.
Internationally, Ireland has a great reputation as an innovative location for Internet based companies, and we are confident that we will find the dynamic and creative talent needed to join our international team,
...said Dermot Costello, Qualtrics Ireland.
Qualtrics provides a great opportunity for candidates that are looking for an energetic environment to grow their career in an emerging market.
