Concentrix, a leading global provider of customer experience (CX) solutions and technology, is to target Donegal for the creation of 50 remote working roles.
The company already has offices in Dublin, Belfast and Derry with a workforce of 270,000 staff worldwide, and more than 4,300 people across Ireland.
While these remote opportunities are available across the country, Concentrix has chosen to focus its first phase of recruitment in Co. Donegal.
This is because of its close proximity to the company’s established site in the Ulster Science & Technology Park in Derry city and the North-West Region’s skilled workforce, strong education system and robust technology infrastructure.
Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade & Employment Leo Varadkar TD said: “I’m happy that Concentrix is expanding their footprint here. The recruitment for these 50 new jobs, will initially target Donegal, demonstrating the county’s attractiveness as a location for investment.
“I’m particularly pleased to hear of the flexible nature of these jobs with opportunities to work from home. Remote working will be a permanent part of life in Ireland after the pandemic, and it’s great to see Concentrix embrace this shift. I wish the company well for the future, I’m sure you will be very happy in Donegal.”
Attending the launch of the Donegal recruitment campaign, Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine and Donegal T.D., Charlie McConalogue said he was delighted wiht the announcement.
