Zartis, the information technology company that specialises in cloud recruitment software and solutions, has launched a website aimed at promoting job opportunities in Ireland’s technology sector.

Makeitinireland.comis an industry-led initiative supported by some of the leading technology firms in Ireland.

Companies involved in the initiative include Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Symantec, Twitter and Intel.

Despite the economic downturn, Ireland’s technology sector has continued to grow, resulting in increased demand for skilled professionals.

The social media and IT multinationals aim to use the site to promote awareness of the technology sector in Ireland and the career prospects for technical, business and multilingual professionals. Those in strongest demand include software developers, online marketing experts, business analysts and multilingual staff in sales, support and customer service.

“Dublin has become one of the world’s leading tech hubs. There are fantastic career opportunities for people with IT, business and multilingual skills and it’s one of the best cities in the world to live in,” said Zartis chief executive John Dennehy.

“This is a unique initiative that is not happening anywhere else in the world in terms of the companies we are working with. The message is beginning to get out and we have professionals from all over the world applying through the site.”
