INDEED, THE WORLD’S largest jobs website, has announced a plan to hire 500 new staff in Dublin.

The move comes as the company expands its operations at its Dublin-based headquarters for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

The company has already started recruiting for sales, client services, HR, business development, marketing, finance, strategy and operations roles.

Chris Hyams, President of Indeed said:

“Today’s announcement is a particularly important one for Indeed. Deciding where to recruit and hire the right people ultimately helps us to fulfil Indeed’s mission – to help people get jobs. Having our EMEA hub in Dublin is the natural choice given the large pool of high-skilled talent both locally and from the rest of Europe.

“We now have 530 employees, representing 19 nationalities in our Dublin office.”

Employees at the company are offered a host of benefits including:

• Open paid time off (holidays can be taken throughout the year, without a cap)
• Catered meals, endless snacks and drink options and weekly happy hours
• Wellness programmes, fitness classes and family fun days
• Health insurance for employees and families

Taoiseach Enda Kenny said that the plan was a “fantastic endorsement of our strengthening economy”.

Founded in 2004, Indeed has sites in more than 60 countries and 28 languages and is visited by 200 million people a month.
