The top 10 skills in demand by Irish employers – tech sector is still leading the way

The skills that are most sought after among employers in Ireland have been listed by Linkedin Corporation.

Cloud and Distributed Computing topped the list for the second year in a row – it was also the most in demand skill globally.

The annual list by the world’s largest online professional network is developed by analysing all of the recruiting activity on LinkedIn since January.

The Irish Top Skills of 2016 are:

– Cloud and Distributed Computing (no change)

– Statistical Analysis and Data Mining (no change)

– Web Architecture and Development Framework (up three places from 2015)

– Network and Information Security (up one place from 2015)

– SEO/SEM Marketing (fell two places since 2015)

– Marketing Campaign Management (new entry)

– Software Revision Control Systems (up three places from 2015)

– Middleware and Integration Software (fell four places since 2015)

– Mobile Development (fell one place since 2015)

– Recruiting (up six places from 2015)

 

Demand remains high for tech skills because they are no longer confined to the tech industry and are needed in nearly every industry and county in the country.

Had a great experience working with Peter Kirby at Eolas, he was incredibly helpful. Knew exactly where i needed to be pitching myself in terms of roles and with the support of him and the rest of the team I was able to land a new contracting job. There was also another colleague at Eolas who was helping me look at perm roles too so the complete solution. I would absolutely recommend Eolas to anyone looking for a new job.

Caroline at Eolas really helped with getting a job I was interested in. She was able to put me forward for an excellent position at a nearby company with a great salary. The whole process was handled by her which took a lot of stress out of my job hunt. Thank you again Caroline it was a pleasure working with you!

My experience with Eolas from the very start was fantastic. Nicola Byrne contacted me in relation to a couple of positions that were available. Guided me through the entire process and offered any help needed along the way. If I'm ever job hunting again I know who my first port of call will be along with anyone who asks me for a recommendation.

I accepted a new role though Beth from Eolas...I was very happy with the process throughout. Beth found a role for me quite quickly, which suited my specific skills. Beth and Nollaig were always friendly and super professional and also able to answer any questions or concerns I had. Furthermore, Beth kept me in the loop regularly (not just through email but also through phonecalls) so I always knew exactly what the situation was and how my application was progressing and I am very appreciative of that. I will definately use again Eolas in the future...More recently Nicola took over as my Eolas Agent and came up to speed very quickly on potential roles for me and my previous experience. I found Nicola to be efficient and a good problem solver, All my queries were handled efficiently and successfully by Nicola and in a pleasant and professional manner. I would gladly contact Nicola again and deal with Eolas again as I was most satisfied with her calm, efficient and friendly manner...Thanks again Nicola and we'll stay in touch!

Initially, I was contacted by Caoimhe C. And she immediately put my resume for contract role through one of the largest companies in Ireland. Peter K. did a follow up for the interview and explained me in detail about the contractual role in Ireland.

Overall a very positive experience with Eolas, I had being applying for months direct with most companies with very little feedback. Eolas contacted me directly on linked In with a role which was a perfect match to my skillset and background.They also guided me though the process end to end and help to set expectations. I found them very professional to work with and very happy they approached me.Special thank you to Caoimhe and Peter for making the process a smooth and stress free transition.

Worked with Stephen and Sean over the course of three rounds of interviews and an offer, can't recommend them enough. Very professional, experienced people, easy to get along with, loads of knowledge about the company I was going for a role with, as well as the industry in general. They kept me well up to date - as soon as they had an update, I had it too. Stephen and Sean really impressed me. The receptionist (or whoever's answering the phones) is also very helpful and friendly. Overall a great experience and I'd happily work with this company again.
