Cork-based talent-sourcing tech firm Starcircle has announced plans to create 100 jobs.
The company, whose clients include Marvel, Facebook, Amazon and Epic Games, said it was expanding its workforce to cater for a surge in demand for its services.
The new jobs, most of which will be Irish-based, will be a mix of hybrid and remote opportunities, the company said.
They will be for a variety of roles from product, technology, marketing to advisory and project management.
Chief executive James Galvin said Starcircle's expansion was aligned "to how talent acquisition has become a top priority for CEOs across the globe, particularly in the context of over 10 million job openings in the US alone".
“The big challenge is that over 85 per cent of the talent pool is passive and not easily identified,” he said. “We’re changing the way that top companies engage with talent. We go beyond job descriptions to identify high potential candidates that would otherwise have gone overlooked.
“We take away the bias and rigid short-sightedness of traditional recruitment, and in its place we give our clients an engine to drive true dexterity and diversity in their hiring process,” he said.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin visited the Starcircle offices to mark the jobs announcement, describing it as a welcome development for Cork and the southwest.
